On the Second Day of Blogmas, my TLT gave to me

December 4, 2012 by Karen Jensen, MLS   Leave a Comment

On this, the second day of Blogmas, we bring you . . .

The Goddess of YA Literature (http://professornana.livejournal.com/)

Run by Teri Lesesne, I love this blog in that it’s short (when I ramble) and picks up things that I miss that go on in the YA world. Teri is a professor of children’s and YA literature, and I really like her insight into the books when she does reviews, but she also picks up on relevant topics, and the way she writes makes me stop and think, which is important in a blog. I’ve especially enjoyed what I privately called her Letters Series (for example, A is for Advocate or Nourish, Nurture, Nudge).

This is less style than some of the other blogs we typically see online, but it has substance. Christie G.
