Day 26 ~ A book that changed your opinion about something
Let's face facts... When I was a teen, I hated teen fiction. I just couldn't seem to find one that connected with me (other than Madeleine L'Engle, but I saw that as more science-fiction than from a YA viewpoint). Fast forward to blogging and review copies. One of my first review copies was A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray. It was getting a bit of buzz, but this was a different world than blogging is now... I figured it was not my thing, but I like to try and branch out a bit. And, I loved this trilogy! If I hadn't read it, I probably would have came around to the YA books that are crazy popular the last few years in a different way, but this was my gateway book!
I loved this series too. I'm glad it got you into YA.
ReplyDeleteMe too!
DeleteYay for gateway books! :) I haven't read this one yet, but it's on my TBR list and I'm excited to read it once I finally get to it.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed her newer series, too... Well, the first book. The second is waiting for me to get to!
DeleteI enjoyed the first one, but never read the rest!
ReplyDeleteI only did because I was very into review copies back then!
