Stuck in Y.A. Books

Ethics There is a lot of issue regarding ethics. This is a heavy issue that continues to happen to a lot of bloggers is plagiarism and to ensure credit belongs to that person. To the new bloggers I recommend that you credit the person who you took information because if you don't the blogging community can attack with force and we are a tough community. The guidelines of bloggers that we should follow is to create our own pieces of work and reviews. I know that it is hard to create something, but since you are the one reading the book and reviewing it, you should show how much you love that book by using your own words.  I've been blogging for almost 3 years, you learn many things about it through others, but it is fun! Non- Fiction I know this is bad but I don't really read non-fiction. I would lead more to a biography or true crime if I was interested in that book but I have seen a few that I was interested in but I have not been able to purchase them yet....

GIVEAWAY!!! Today I will be giving away a copy of Reboot by Amy Tintera, as well as a copy of The Sea of Tranquility by Katja Millay a Rafflecopter giveaway Literature:  The literature that has changed my life would be The Sea of Tranquility as well as Hopeless, Slammed and anything by Jennifer L. Armentrout. These amazing authors have created these amazing books that will grab your attention from the beginning. Colleen Hoover is another favorite because she chooses topics that will impact you and also what you can relate to.

I am glad that now fiction has New Adult because its starting to come alive and many people do go through this stage of their lives where they fall in love for the first time, having troubled times etc. Katja Millay did an incredible j...

Blogger Development I do think that I did branch out more as a blogger because of the community as well as joining more blog tours. As a blogger who started from nothing and figuring what to do, I think I did a great job reaching out to the community and as well as organize Stuck In YA Books. There are some days that I do get stressed out with the blog but I still try to have fun with providing giveaways and also talking to authors through twitter. I am not near any author events but, that would be another blogger dream I would love to take part in. Unforunately Thunder Bay is a small city with little local author events at the same time not many bloggers. The blogging community is another family because we all like the same things in novels and also in our daily lives. I hope to meet all you new bloggers as well. Blogging is hard work but it does pay off in the end.  We discover new authors, books and even bloggers go professional. Lots are great designers who can creat...
