The distinction has blurred between young adult and adult books. Some of the teen books have become more sophisticated.
From Ann Brashares
It's so much easier to have no expectations than to have big ones.
When I turned fifteen, I remember my father gave me a credit card which I was allowed to use for two things: emergencies and books.
I look back on my 20s. It's supposed to be the prime of your life, the most vital, the most beautiful. But you're making your critical decisions and sometimes your most critical mistakes.
As a writer, you live in such isolation. It's hard to imagine your book has a life beyond you.
A tree is such a rich metaphor in a million beautiful ways. You can consider a tree growing and consider its connectedness to all things above and under the ground.
As much as I'm drawn to writing about teenage girls, I like the idea of having the freedom to branch out and write about different ages, for different ages.
I agree that a love of reading is a great gift for a parent to pass on to his or her child.
My household is, in a nice way, very busy.
I don't have the life of a famous person. But I do feel like I've been able to connect with a lot of people.
