I have finished my first two books! To be fair, I finished the first one about a week ago and just finished the second. Anyway, I was so excited that I couldn't wait until tomorrow morning to post my thoughts about both.

In November of 2009, my sister introduced me to a series of new YA fantasy books titled The Mortal Instruments. These books were highly entertaining. The author of these books has since written number 4 in that series, adding on to the story that she had previously thought she had finished, and has also started writing a prequel series. So, without further ado, here are my reviews!

Since I'm not just a writer, but a reader as well, I thought that I would start a blog about what I'm reading and who wrote it. You'll come to find that I read A LOT of Young Adult Literature. This is because, with my emphasis in Education, I want to know what my students are reading and whether or not it is substantial literature for them to read. Some may think that when I say Young Adult Literature all they can think about is the Twilight Saga and all of the various fantasy novels that have risen from that popularity. But Young Adult Fantasy is just a genre. There are so many other types of Young Adult books that get overlooked because they aren't hyped up or popular, but these books are amazing and can actually teach young adults that yes, they are going through awkward times, but it is possible to get through them. Okay, that's enough of an explanation for right now. Maybe I'll do a post later on more of my thoughts.*

It is my goal over my summer break to get in as much free reading as I can before I return to school and have assigned reading (which I don't mind, as I get introduced to some amazing works. I love being an English Major!). So I've decided to post about what I've read and my thoughts about the book, sort of giving a review.

That is just a little bit of a run down that you're going to find on this blog. If you're interested, keep an eye open...we've got a fun, open road ahead of us!

*If you're interested in a little more about Young Adult Literature, under my "Written Works" tab, I have a research paper that I wrote about censorship of YA novels
