Good morning and Happy Tuesday!  Today it is raining in central Minnesota.  I am anxious to get on my bike (although it may not be in the plans for today now…) and it looks like I may be going back to Kick Boxing tonight with my friend Christy after 10 months off due to my injury last June.  YES!!!  *fist pump in the air*

Today is Tuesday, and that means, it is Tuesdays With Camryn, the new YA reviewer who has graciously agreed to join me here on Tuesdays to chat about YA reads.  Today watch for her review of Unraveled by Elizabeth Norris.  Lets just say  I will be needing to read that one SOON.

Since it is looking to be a great YA day, I figured this is an excellent time to chat up the new exciting Harper Collins Teen Book Club.  They launched a few weeks ago on Facebook with this awesome logo:

Awesome yes?  YES!  The current read is INCARNATE by Jodi Meadows, but soon… the May read will be Bumped by Megan McCafferty (as seen in the yellow bar at the top of the Facebook page.  You have to check this page out!  There is a place for book discussion as well as to win some prizes!  If you are not a YA reader yourself, please pass this information on to anyone you know who is… what a smart way to interact with teen readers!

Epic Reads also have a Goodreads Group!

You have a month to join the active discussion around the month’s book, but the forums on Goodreads will live on forever, and people can look back through archives to participate for past books there!

I can’t say enough about this!  Teen readers are so important and YA is an awesome genre to really generate readers in the 11-20 age group (and yes, I know… there are many of us, including me, who also enjoy YA reads too! 😀 )

If you have been thinking about reading Bumped, this would be a wonderful way to do so and connect with others reading it too!
