12 Blogs of Christmas: YA Lit Quotes (We Heart Young Adult)
To say that I love a good quote is an understatement. I have journals – yes, plural – where I have written down some of my favorite quotes from the books I have read over the years. And one of the things that I love most about the 21st century technology is seeing how others can take their favorite book quotes and turn them into beautiful art. I love this so much that I have done it myself and I have done teen programming around the concept. If you follow some of your favorite YA authors on Tumblr or Twitter you will often see them sharing amazing artwork inspired by their titles; many teens are inspired by books to create art of their own, whether it be visual art or fan fiction.
So with this in mind, I present to you blog #3 in the 12 Blogs of Christmas: YA Lit Quotes
Yes, yes, yes – it is, once again, technically a Tumblr. But I propose Tumblr is just a different version of a blog and since this is my 12 Blogs of Christmas I am totally running with that. Follow this Tumblr and you will have some great content that is easy to share with your teens. And it will probably inspire some of them to try a new book they hadn’t thought about reading. One quote can do that.
