Answering Readers’ Questions

Sometimes we get interesting emails or comments here at Teen Lit Rocks — mostly asking us questions about page-to-screen YA adaptations, so we’ve decided to answer a few readers’ questions. 1.

Editor’s Pick: I Was Here by Gayle Forman

February 18, 2015 by Diana 1 Comment

I am a huge Gayle Forman fan. I’ve read everything she’s written with the exception of Sisters in Sanity, and I loved meeting her at YALLfest a couple of years ago. So I was very excited when I heard she had another book coming out in 2015. When I heard what it was about, I…

Waiting On Wednesday: I Was Here by Gayle Forman

It’s no secret that Sandie and I love Gayle Forman; we are truly two of her biggest fans. Sandie has had the pleasure of interviewing Forman on more than one occasion, and she was always so gracious. When my daughter and I briefly chatted with her at her book signing at YALLFest, she was so…

Top Ten Tuesday: Reasons We Enjoyed “If I Stay” movie

We love coming up with our top ten list each Tuesday, but this week we had other things on our minds. One of our favorite books, “If I Stay” by Gayle Forman, was finally turned into a film and opened in theaters this past weekend. Even though critical reviews were mixed, we both enjoyed the…

Now that “The Fault in Our Stars” is finally in theaters and most of us have already seen it (if you haven’t, what are you waiting for?),  it’s time to start getting revved up for some of the other YA movies that are coming out this summer. The next one that I’m highly anticipating is…

If I Stay Trailer and Other YA Page-to-Screen News

If I Stay Trailer and Other YA Page-to-Screen News

My party of five is still on Spring Break vacation, but since I’m writing a movie review while my youngest takes a nap, I figured I’d pop in and share the “If I Stay” trailer (hooray for Gayle Forman) and share some other young adult adaptation news. I am trying not to have high hopes,…

Editor’s Pick: Just One Year by Gayle Forman

November 20, 2013 by Jessica 5 Comments

Editor’s Pick: Just One Year by Gayle Forman

  If you’re reading this review, I’m going to assume two things: first, that you’ve read the first book called Just One Day. And that you’re like me and obsessed about what-happens-after-he-opens-the-door ending of that book and couldn’t wait to get your hands on this followup. And you won’t be totally disappointed. This is the…

Monday Quotes: Male Protagonists in YA

October 28, 2013 by Sandie 6 Comments

Monday Quotes: Male Protagonists in YA

Since most young adult authors seem to be women, it’s only natural that the majority of main characters in YA is also female. Of course I’m not necessarily taking into consideration the many multiple-POV stories (even most of those start with the female character and in others), but in terms of my bookshelves, it’s definitely…
