Exercising my reading brain

I'm around, just that nothing terribly exciting has happened worth blogging about. I'm using the time to catch up on a number of books I wanted to read. Lots of thoughts clashing around in my brain about Young Adult and what it means when people mindlessly adhere to certain tropes associated with the genre.

 

That and about expecting more from YA and not allowing it to sit there all bloated and cannibalistic, like a tick sucking from a tick.

 

But, yeah.

 

Mostly I'm just reading.
