Young adult books are frequently underrated. Libba Bray is amazing as is Holly Black (if you haven’t read “Tithe” it has faeries, ass kicking faeries!) and Amelia Atwater Rhodes is fantastic. “Blood and Chocolate” may be my favorite young adult book, go Annette Curtis Klause!

These sound pretty good…they put Fear Street to shame! (Almost makes me ashamed for starting a blog completely dedicated to Fear Street.)

I agree with Lorelie: a few of these would probably make me cry a little.

That last story seems to come right out of “Journey to the West” and involves San Goku, the Monkey King, who actually *did* hatch out of a rock that was exposed to “celestial radiations”. Suffice to say, he goes on to become King of the Monkeys, and several Japanese anime characters are based on him, notably Goku of Dragonball/Dragonball Z and Son Goku of Saiyuki, which in itself is a retelling of Zi Ou Ji, or Journey to the West.

While it sounds good, I’m not going to read it. It’s absolutely chock full of my personal cry like a little girl triggers.

On second thought, maybe I should get a copy and keep it on hand for those days when you just need a good cry.
