Road Trip Wednesday: Limericks
In honor of Saint Patrick’s Day, YA Highway wants us to all write a limerick about our favorite books and/or works in progress. Holy commas! This one was hard.

Harry Potter started out being all about the action. Sure, there was friendship and longing and identity issues and so forth, but [...]

It’s Harry Potter week on the blah-g this week! That means four posts this week are devoted to the wonder that is Harry Potter. Yay! A couple of weeks ago, during the “Gender in YA” discussion on Twitter, there was a bit of discussion about dysfunctional families in Young adult literature. One commenter even went [...]
Road Trip Wednesday: affection
For today’s Road Trip Wednesday, YA Highway wants to know: What’s your favorite display of affection in a YA? Yeah, I don’t like to play favorites.
