This is not a chat room. You have to wait until people are here to answer. Now, having said that, if you go to the search tab, (upper right) and under tags type in YA or young adult, you will get a list of books that people have tagged as such. Good luck with your search.

Are you looking for anything that might help us in our recomendation? Contemporary, historical, Sci-fi, fanasy? Books for girls, books for boys? Books for the alien that just landed in the backyard?

edited to fix a grievous spelling error.

YA authors for the alien to devour?

Or have you already been devoured by the alien yourself? *gasp!*

BTW, did i miss a memo on the new way to spell "recommendation"? Once (the subject) is understandable, twice (the OP) is consistent. Three times makes me wonder if i'm taking crazy pills.

#6 - Your authors seem to fit the request from Message 1, but can you personally recommend them?

Also, what if the OP was asking for some NOW, Vol. 1?

>#9: The OP did not ask if I reccomendded them, only that they were recccomenndedd. I'm sure that someone recomends them, somewhere ;)

Good point about NOW.

Oops! In my defense, I was distracted at the time I posted. Must have missed the extra c. Please allow me to correct my error.
