Teenage Dream: How To Hone Your YA Voice Part Quatre

I know it's been a while since I've blogged about voice, but today I'm going back to my first love. Some of you might've read my Teenage Dream series, where I give tips on how to hone your YA voice. Well, as part of that series, I'm adding another post.

But not from me *grins*

You see, the ever-awesome Steph Bowe wrote a guest post over @ Randy Russell's blog. She gives similar tips on nailing YA voice, but I think she does a better job than me. That's why you should go here and read what she said. Trust me--it's really helpful. 

Especially since she's a teenager herself *bonus brownie points*

And since I'm currently on the lookout for TONS AND TONS of books to read this Christmas, tell me: which YA novels have you read and loved recently??

  3. Thanks for the link, I'll head over and take a peek. Good book wise...I just finished The Hating Game by Talli Roland. I've got Matched, Nightshade and Fixing Delilah to read. And next week I should be getting Anna and the French Kiss, The Last Sacrifice and You Against Me by Jenny Downham to come. Stupid snow delays!

  4. I just finished Matched today. It was AMAZING! I won an ARC of Delirium, so that's next, then I'm debating between Nightshade, The Marbury Lens, and Anna and the French Kiss.
