Hi readers!  This is my first Sunday Salon post!  I've been on a bit of a Young Adult reading kick lately.  This past week I read (and loved!) Lessons From a Deaad Girl by Jo Knowles and If I Stay by Gayle Forman.  They were both amazing books and I will definitely be looking for more by these authors.  Lessons From a Dead Girl deals with the issue of friendship abuse between peers - a very tough subject that the author dealt with masterfully.  If I Stay deals with the issue of life or death.  Both books will elicit a flood of emotions, but I would recommend them to anyone.  These are not your light and fluffy, feel-good reads.  They deal with some major life issues.

If you  have any YA suggestions, I would love to hear about them!  I recently added Wintergirls to my wish list, but I do not know of other YA books that deal with these deeper issues.  I'd love some recommendations - leave me a comment!  Thanks!

Until next time.....
Jennifer :)
