Those Kindle samples are handy, eh? I seriously cried through most of the last 70ish pages of The Fault In Our Stars. Have tissues handy! Glad you’re enjoying them, Sandra!

I read and enjoyed the Josephine B trilogy so it'll be wonderful to read Hortense's take.  Not much has been written about her in recent years so I'll be interested to read about her as the lead whenever the novels come to the US.

I've downloaded Kindle samples of most of your suggestions. So far, I've started to read THE FAULT IN OUR STARS and LITTLE BROTHER. So good! Thank you! I think you’ll love it.

I read (and admired) The Hunger Games, and I'll check out the rest. A YA I adored, and it's Canadian, is TILT by Alan Cuymn. It's wonderful!!! I recommended it to any reader. Thank you so much!

Favourites of mine are The Hunger Games series and Cassandra Clare's books; Robin McKinley's Sunshine; Cory Doctorow's Little Brother; Gayle Forman's If I Stay; Kristin Cashore's Graceling; Holly Black's White Cat; Stephanie Perkins' Anna and the French Kiss; John Green's The Fault in our Stars - among others! I agree about the YA renaissance - the YA section of the library now looks nothing like the YA shelves of my teen years, 15-ish years ago.

I don't feel like a good role model at all. Writing a novel, as you well know, always feels like an impossible task. Lilian, that is so sweet of you to say!

The YA genre is in a renaissance, I think: there's so much that's being done, both imaginatively and in terms of format. Very exciting. What YA do you recommend? Perth is lovely: lucky you! Thank you!
