1. Okay, that’s way too hard. Do series count? Because one of my all-time favorite YA series is Sara Ella’s Unblemished! Specifically the second book, Unraveling! 😉
2. Book bestie? Like IRL bestie or fictional bestie? XD Because my fabulous friend Sophia is the first person I go to when I wanna ramble about books or recommend something or get recommendations! She’s the bomb!
4. Done! 😀
This is SO exciting!!! Thanks for much for hosting this! ❤

Congratulations, Kate 🙂 I really am so happy for you!
My favourite YA novel—that’s complicated because I don’t see YA as most people tend to right now. But for now, I’ll say that one of my favourite YAs actually CLASSIFIED as a YA officially is Deceived by Madisyn Carlin.
And for a book bestie, I just have to talk a little about Mary (Aerelien) who’s read books with me but most importantly discussed them in depth ❤ that’s one of my favourite things of our friendship!
And I follow the blog 😉

I kind of skipped YA books growing up, jumping from my children’s book to adult books. However, my favorite YA books are probably Ursula K. Le Guin’s Wizard of Earthsea trilogy. I’m also really fond of “The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of her Own Making” by Catherynne M. Valente.
Alas, I don’t have a book bestie. A writing bestie, yes! But not reading.
Congratulations on Kiera! I love the cover art.

OOoo, I haven’t read those by her yet! I’ve read the Madeline ones and adore them, but I need to try these apparently. 😉
Heheh, that still counts and it’s very sweet of her. 😉 Who knows, maybe she’ll decide reading is fun from how much fun you have. 😁😁
You’re welcome!
