"When you read a book as a child, it becomes a part of your identity in a way that no other reading in your whole life does."I'd also like to direct your attention to a couple of awesome posts I discovered this week, if you haven't seen them already:
"So much of what I see reminds me of something I read in a book, when shouldn't it be the other way around?"
-Kathleen Kelly (the character played by Meg Ryan in the movie You've Got Mail)
Sarah Ockler responds to the NYT review of STAY and BITTER END.
And related, she discusses the "parent problem" in YA.
Kiersten White's post on faith. In which she expresses so many things I've felt, but could never find such perfect words for.
