Maybe it's a generation thing, but damn. That book MEANT something to me as a kid. In all actuality I think it's the first book I ever read that really AFFECTED me. It's hard to describe what that book meant to me. I'm so glad to find out she's still writing!!<br /><br />As for Halse Anderson, I have not yet read Wintergirls. But I have read both Speak and Twisted. FANTASTIC books!! <br /><br />Again...I'm really glad to hear you had a wonderful weekend!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05055676171075203563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11303971.post-70947867425627998312009-05-03T20:18:00.000-07:002009-05-03T20:18:00.000-07:00I think it's cool you got to hang out in Jill's su...I think it's cool you got to hang out in Jill's suite.

Clearly, I'm a huge fan. <I>After Tupac</I> is a good read, but maybe not the best introduction to her work. She writes for children, middle grade and YA. I'm on a mission to read her entire body of work and she's very prolific- 22+ titles to her credit. Please stop by my blog. If you'd like to know more about Woodson, I could probably tell you more than you'd like to know. I highly recommend: <I>Feathers, Locomotion, If You Come Softly, The Maizon series</I> and <I>The Dear One</I>.<br /><br />If you're interested in learning more about YA, you have to read Anderson's <I>Speak</I>. Every teen blogger that hasn't read it, feels lame for not having read it. LHA is huge with teens.susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14924982664582970754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11303971.post-2014646379134944192009-05-03T18:15:00.000-07:002009-05-03T18:15:00.000-07:00Glad you finally had a chance to recap, Amy - it w...Glad you finally had a chance to recap, Amy - it was quite a weekend!
