As for YA, I'm a fan of the genre, but have become a bit disillusioned with the slow beginnings of some of the books I've read recently. <br /><br />One that I loved was Melissa Marr's "Wicked Lovely". I didn't read the other books in series, but thought the first featured a strong heroine and a plot that never followed precisely the path I thought it would.<br /><br />I think I'll be taking up your recommendation of the Vampire Academy series.C D Meetenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18185285028025647307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7568117157220074400.post-77512755167508515762011-09-12T15:27:05.903-04:002011-09-12T15:27:05.903-04:00Congratulations on reaching Stage Two! :)Congratulations on reaching Stage Two! :)Golden Eaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08721520451194318436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7568117157220074400.post-1248389837934827702011-09-12T15:02:07.721-04:002011-09-12T15:02:07.721-04:00Thank you all for the congratulations!
