Friday – Kim Harrison Day

Saturday – A Chat With An Editor

Farrin Jacobs, Executive Editor of HarperCollins Children’s Books talks to us about being a Young Adult editor, and what to expect from Harper Teen in the future.

And that’s it for the first week of our Young Adult Appreciation Month! Don’t forget you can take part in the celebration of all things Young Adult by joining us on a collective festival across blogland – read the details here.

I really want to start reading more YA, and all those books look so good. 🙂

*rubbing hands together in glee* I’m really looking forward to this month of reviews and interviews, etc, ladies. I’m loving the YA genre at the moment.

What an absolutely amazing week and I’m drooling at the thought of both Melissa Marr’s manga and the visit by Farrin Jacobs! What a dream job IMO 🙂

omfg! I’m not alone with my obssession for books. I’ve got my fingers crossed on getting into a publishing place after high school. Ek! One day you could be reading my work, which would be awesome. I actually just finished writing a book. It’s in the editing process at the moment.
