This blog is created for a course I am taking towards my master's degree, Trends & Issues in Literature for Children and Young Adults.  The books on the blog are some of my favorite ones I picked from the books we were assigned to read, which were a lot and I wish we had more time to read all of them.  I think I realized, by the book lists help, that I gravitate towards certain books that deal with YA Gritty & Edgy novels and novels where the character is in between worlds dead but not gone yet.
