When people see what I'm reading, the taunts begin.

“Teen lit, again. Come on, Katie. When are you going to grow up?"

The likelihood is since I stole my brother's copy of Peter Pan (and read it for hours near an open window hoping Peter would swing by just once) his mantra has sunk in. I won't grow up. Not in my reading taste, anyway. And I have to say for full disclosure, I liked Twilight. I read it for hours on end while my husband felt neglected and my baby crawled away to chew on pennies. Okay, maybe I wasn't that neglectful, but what can I say? I love a good story.

That's what I'm searching for in my YA Hotspot- a good story written for teens and the occasional 32 year old mom. I hope you will find that I'm not snooty, I don't come with any set criteria and I don't need a New York Times Best Seller. Tell me a good story. That's all I ask.
