The YAbooktwins take Manhattan! And Boston. And Nantucket! Giveaway!!

Okay, those were a lot of exclamation marks. But who cares? It's our blog and we are SO excited. Our trip was inspired by a YA book and then one day a picture of Nantucket showed up on bing.com and I immediately took it as a sign (I look at bing.com every day to see what types of photos are posted. It's actually really sad because my internet access is limited at work. It's kind of a highlight of my morning). Anyway, we thought about all the places we could go to and every time a place came up in a book we just started to imagine what it would be like to see it in real life.

YA Literary Trip (BOS/UCK/NYC)

I LOVE reading all of the time, but this summer has definitely been the summer of reading. A while ago I read My Name is Memory by Ann Brashares and absolutely loved it. Of course, I am still impatiently waiting for its sequel, but that's another post. Since then my booktwin, Mary and I have been on the hunt for YA books. More recently, it all started with The Hunger Game Series by Suzanne Collins, The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare, then we read Delirium by Lauren Oliver, and Divergent by Veronica Roth. Peeta, Katniss, Jace, Clary, Alex, Len, Four, Tris, and many others became household names. However, it wasn't until we came across Starcrossed by Josie Angelini, it was then that i think we both fell in love with Mr. Lucas Delos. It was nonstop Starcrossed, reading, thinking and in some cases dreaming about it.
