I avoid the young adult section altogether if possible, although it's sometimes fun to catch a girl lying on the floor, reading 'Gossip Girl.'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
You don't have to watch 'Gossip Girl' to have an attitude.
Gossip, even when it avoids the sexual, bears around it a faint flavor of the erotic.
Some girls sit around and watch 'Gossip Girl' together. Me and my girlfriends watch 'Raw' and 'SmackDown.'
I went straight from high school to 'Gossip Girl,' and both were very structured, scheduled environments, so I never had freedom to explore and carve my own path.
Back in my days as a children's book editor, my superiors caught on to the fact that teenagers were using the Internet to gossip about each other, and thought it might be nifty to develop a series of books about an anonymous high-school blogger who gossips about her classmates. The concept was passed on to me.
Gossip is what no one claims to like, but everybody enjoys.
I never read gossip press. I just read books. And I never switch on the TV anymore.
At 16, I started reading trashy stuff, anything slightly naughty and risque.
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.
Some of my favorite books to read are young adult books.
