2014 YA Predictions
What better way to bring in 2014 than to have fun making predictions for what will happen with YA books? Kelly of Stacked Books and myself had some fun with that on Twitter, being a little bit silly and a little bit serious. We used the hashtag #2014YAPredictions.

What matters, or why this book is awesome: Nowhere in the [...]
