Book Blogger Hop

I am attempting to connect with other people who blog about YA books and the question I am supposed to answer is why I started blogging.  There are several reasons! 

(1) To interact with my students online about books.  I love talking with teens about books.
(2) To keep track of all the books that I'm reading.  I am currently serving on YALSA's 2011 Best Fiction for Young Adults Committee (BFYA, formerly BBYA for all you teen librarians out there) and this seemed like the best way to reflect on the books as I read them.

I am new to the world of blogging, but having a lot of fun with it.  Feel free to comment...I am looking forward to hearing from others who love YA books.
