Week Seven- Assignment 3  I Love you Blog, YA, YA, YA

After perusing the possibilities, I have opted to follow the YA blogs Cassandra Clare's Tumblr and Forever Young Adult. These look to be sites which are more content-rich than some of the others. I am sure this will be interesting, especially since the genre of YA was practically non-existant when I was 13-14; I actually began reading Adult novels and short stories by age 12. I was labeled a "discipline problem" in fifth grade by a teacher who was most like "Miss Haversham" in Dickens. I was actually bored to tears, and was finally given affirmation and encouragement by a brilliant and creative 6th grade teacher-- who demonstrated that I was reading materials at twice my grade level, and those for fun.
    Thus, I was really a part of that older generation which skipped Young Adult entirely, and went from "Juvenile" Fiction and non-fiction, directly into Adult materials.
