Monday Quotes: Hard-Working MCs in YA

September 5, 2016 by Sandie Leave a Comment

Monday Quotes: Hard-Working MCs in YA

Quite often, young adult books are about rich kids at fancy suburban or boarding schools — the kind of teens on 90210 or Gossip Girl who don’t have ANY financial problems and don’t need to work. So to celebrate Labor Day, I’m paying tribute to the hard-working teens of young adult. OK, maybe they’re not…

In honor of the supermoon lunar eclipse last night, we’re sharing quotes from some of our favorite “moon” books. “Between Us and the Moon” by Rebecca Maizel You are on the inside.

Monday Quotes: Labor Day Edition

Happy Labor Day, everyone! I hope you’re all enjoying your day off of work and school. We’re headed to our town’s Labor Day Parade, so I figured in tribute I would dedicate this week’s Monday Quotes to six YA characters who work. It’s not as common any more, given the economy, for teens to work,…

Monday Quotes: Characters in College

This weekend, Diana moved her youngest child in at college. As you can imagine, she’s having an emotional time adjusting to leaving her “baby” at university. In honor of my nephew’s first week of undergraduate school, I’ve compiled a few quotes from YA books that feature college-aged protagonists. These characters in college are still teens,…

Monday Quotes: #QuietYA Titles

August 10, 2015 by Sandie Leave a Comment

Monday Quotes: #QuietYA Titles

I love the idea of #QuietYA — “smaller” YA books that aren’t necessarily New York Times best sellers or next up for a Hollywood adaptation. These are the books you hear about from friends and bloggers and librarians, but they’re not household names. This week, I’m quoting from five books I love and wish more…

Monday Quotes: YA Books in Verse

Monday Quotes: YA Books in Verse

April is National Poetry Month, so we wanted to highlight YA books in verse this week. I know some readers are hesitant to read books in verse, but in my experience they’re wonderful, poignant, and so descriptive. I hope you’ll read this quotes and be inspired to give books in verse a try, especially if…

Monday Quotes: YA Books About Faith

April 6, 2015 by Sandie 1 Comment

Monday Quotes: YA Books About Faith

There aren’t that many YA books that discuss faith in an open, authentic way. Most YA protagonists seem to come from either non-practicing or holiday only or cultural but religious types of families, so it’s always refreshing to read books about teens dealing with spiritual issues. So today, after a weekend that included both a…

Monday Quotes from Insurgent

Since INSURGENT comes out this Friday (woot, more Theo James!), we are dedicating today to INSURGENT quotes. We tried not to pick ones we’ve picked before, even though we know not all of these will make the movie (especially the lines that aren’t dialogue). Are you going to see the adaptation this weekend? Watch this…
