Plus I don't think they had good YA fantasy back when I was in high school or college.<br /><br />I also like books that make me happy like those by Sarah Dessen.<br /><br />So those aren't specific books, but they are authors with more than one book that did that.Mimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08685941102691667990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209535647948718521.post-12157149846632924562009-08-27T21:08:16.697-04:002009-08-27T21:08:16.697-04:00Awesome contest!

My NOLA library branch could sure use a new book!<br /><br />While many writers have inspired me over the years, from Anne McCaffrey to Anne Rice, one of the most inspired authors I've read recently is Scott Westerfeld. I still find myself thinking of the Uglies series months after I've read them!<br /><br />Suzanne Collins inspired me to write in present tense, so I guess she is one of my current favorites.Tere Kirklandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13562750950130316280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209535647948718521.post-49746925776285805022009-08-20T13:39:06.786-04:002009-08-20T13:39:06.786-04:00*ack* I forgot to add the authors who have inspire...*ack* I forgot to add the authors who have inspired me!<br /><br />Holly Black<br />Emily Brontë<br />Libba Bray<br />The Merry Fates: Maggie Stiefvater, Tessa Gratton, and Brenna Yovanoff<br />Tara Kelly<br />Jackie Dolamore<br />William Shakespeare<br />... and many many more!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209535647948718521.post-13258082475702144082009-08-20T13:35:56.233-04:002009-08-20T13:35:56.233-04:00This is a GREAT contest.

I'll go with the Harry Potter books because they are something I've seen my boys get into and it's been fun to share those with them. They've definitely helped me show my kids the joys of reading while allowing us to spend some time bonding over the stories.<br /><br />shelby(at)shiftedsound(dot)comShelbyhttp://www.shiftedsound.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209535647948718521.post-52648871539380073882009-08-20T10:17:50.040-04:002009-08-20T10:17:50.040-04:00OK I'm following.

Jellico Road by Melina Marchetta is one of my favorite books recently. I thought it was edge-of-your-seat enthralling as well as a great story about love, forgiveness and finding who your are both because of *and* in spite of other's influence on your life. It's realistic YA fiction, but she has a YA fantasy book (Finnikin of the Rock) coming out in the U.S. in early 2010, so watch for it!<br /><br />Malissa <br />Mjhsttlr(at)aol(dot)comLibraryBlondiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06014465709210023669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209535647948718521.post-28738046821818320222009-08-20T09:24:43.649-04:002009-08-20T09:24:43.649-04:00I assume family members are not eligible :-) Too ...I assume family members are not eligible :-) Too bad cuz I would love to enter!!
