Celebrating "I Read YA Week"

I understand this week is I Read YA Week (May 19-23). I read YA every week so I'm not sure we need a 'week' to proclaim our love for this particular category. I do remember the naysayers who have written their opinion pieces on why adults shouldn't be wasting time with YA books. Really? Who said one person's opinion is better than another's?

A ride worth taking

Last Saturday night while on the way back from a birthday celebration in Yonkers, we encountered suddenly treacherous road conditions. A wet snow had fallen continuously throughout the day, but besides a slight coating, hadn't amounted to much else. At that time a mist covered our windows, varying from very light to slightly heavier, the cumbersome kind where Mother Nature can't make up her mind and wants drivers to keep their fingers by the wiper stalk. 

I've always seen the signs warnin...

I'm also involved in a secret project with two members of my critique group which has us meeting weekly to discuss various thin...
