GroupsRead YA Lit, San Diego Bibliophiles

About meI am the author of five young adult books, The Miles Between, The Adoration of Jenna Fox, A Room on Lorelei Street, Scribbler of Dreams, and David v. God. I live in San Diego, CA with my husband, and two golden retrievers.

About my libraryI will read just about anything, but obviously being a writer of YA lit I also enjoy reading a lot of it as well. I enjoy any kind of fiction that deals with complicated relationships--especially family ones. I also read every book I can get my hands on about writing. And of course books that deal with faith are of great interest to me too--and science and faith. And I love poetry too and I often reread the classics, admiring the skill of saying so much with so little. Maybe that is why I am drawn to YA literature--it seems to be story pared down to its necessary essence.

Hello,
I would just like to tell you how much I enjoyed The Adoration of Jenna Fox. It brought up some interesting questions and I didn't want to put it down.

Welcome to San Diego Bibliophiles! I'll have to tell chanale thank you for inviting you. It's nice to have an author within our ranks.

I just finished Jenna Fox. I had pulled it off the library shelves to recommend to my students before I read it. I did not get anyone interested. Now that I have finished it, I can't wait to take it to school tomorrow to share with my library's book group. It was engrossing. So different from Lorelei Street which I adored. I know that I can get some kids to read it who will find it as intriguing as I did. Elizabeth

Having commented on my blog, you've now opened the door for a wee bit of web stalking. ;) Anyway, here's to Jenna Fox - I have my eye out for the rest of your work, since one can never have too many books in her 'to read' pile.

I loved Scribbler Of Dreams.
It was amazing.

Just wanted to tell you that I read "Scribbler of Dreams" not to long ago and enjoyed it. It did make me wish for a sequel, as I thought some of the ends weren't wrapped up completely. Thanks for sharing with the rest of us!

Hello, Mary! I just finished The Adoration of Jenna Fox this afternoon -- a one-day read, it was so compelling. Loved A Room on Lorelei Street, too. I'm a bookseller from Vermont, and it's great to be able to tell you how much I enjoyed Adoration. A truly marvelous, thought-provoking book. I fired off a review to my fellow New England booksellers. We'll be looking forward to recommending it to readers. Congratulations on a fine new book! Elizabeth B.
