    1b. I do read YA, but don’t have a favorite author. I like Geoff Laughton and Beau Schemery from DSP (sticking with a theme).
    2. I’ll guess b (or the YA pseudonym of Lou Sylvre).

    Hi, Lou. I haven’t gotten to read any of your works yet, but am looking forward to doing so. Though I don’t read a lot of YA, I have enjoyed some really good books. Jayson James’ T.E.D. is the first one that comes to mind. (I think I’ve read most of his.) I’m not sure if you could be C or even possibly B, they next US president. 🙂 If a M/M author made it that far, just think of the changes for the positive that could be made. Thanks for a chance in the giveaway.

    I read YA but I don’t have a fav author and I don’t remember an specific one at the moment, except for J. Roman’s series Keeping Secrets and Caught in the Act series by Robbie Michaels, which I really liked. Specially book 2 because of all the drama it has. =P

    I do read YA and some of my favorite authors are Sara Alva, Matthew Metzger, Madison Parker and Cody Kennedy (I am reading Slaying Isidore’s Dragon right now).

    For the 2nd question, I am going to guess b, but if a were to come true that would be totally awesome.

    Thanks for the great post!

    I tend to not read much YA. I guess I need to try it.

    I love reading YA. Echoing jenf27’s sentiments, I adore Sara Alva (read her SILENT since you loved Fleet’s …LOVE STORY) and Matthew Metzger’s books. Also, Bill Konigsberg, JH Trumble, and Jay Bell’s stories. Jandy Nelson’s I’ll Give You the Sun is a recent favorite, and Benjamin Alire Sanchez’ Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe is a forever love. (Are you sorry yet that you asked?)

    I only recently found out from some author (AHEM!) about this German baker’s granddaughter who has written a YA book I might want to read. I’m looking forward to it, though I haven’t gotten to it yet.

    Thanks for sharing with us, Lou!

    I read some of them. I hope I am correct in saying Hunger Games and Divergent are YA. I did enjoy them. I am going to guess B for #2.

    1a: I don’t read YA mostly because I’m worried it will contain underage sex. That really is a no go for me. I have read and enjoyed several NA books about college aged characters. One of my favorites is Jamie Fessenden’s Screwups.
    2: b – A German baker’s granddaughter.

    1a: I loved This is Not a Love Story by Suki Fleet and you are right it’s not pretty or light reading. I also have Slaying Isadore’s Dragons by Cody Kennedy but haven’t read it yet.
    2: A German baker’s granddaughter?
    I have just started reading a little YA and so far so good. Makes me wonder what took me so long!

    1. I don’t read a bunch of YA, mostly because I’m afraid it’ll be too angsty. I know it sounds crazy, but I just prefer books without much angst and boy are those teenage years full of it. However, I will say that I have been delightfully surprised by a few books that really made me change my thoughts about YA. Two of the books that come to mind are Superhero by Eli Easton and On The Right Track by Sam Kadence.
    2. B sounds the coolest. 🙂
