WE WANT REAL AUTHORS


It seems every time you walk into a book store and head to the young adult section all you find are sappy super natural love stories. You can find everything from “sexy” blood sucking vampires to ridiculously macho werewolves. All I want to know is what is SO attractive about some pale ugly guy who drinks other people’s blood then kisses you with the same mouth after “feeding”? Ugh...when did super-natural become sexy anyway? Whatever happened to real authors for young adult and their readers? Why are we forced to read this rubbish when all we want are good writers, good characters and a good story line? After all aren’t all these super-natural books the same; the love triangle where 2 guys fight over one teenage girl that’s normally as plain and predictable as a rice cake? For those of us who like to read real young adult books it seems all we can do is wait until this dreadful era is over.
