But I love the summer air! Warm, and smelling of... summer :)<br /><br />Wow! Awesome guest posts! I agree with everything said about YA -- it's such a train of emotions, it always leaves me wanting for more! And about being famous... Of course I want people to know me, but I'm completely sure that afterwards I'd crave the privacy of being just someone normal.<br /><br />Summer summer summer... That reminds me, today I saw a flock of swallows! That means summer is neariiiiing~ Even though today was very cold T_T Hope your days turn sunny soon, too, Mimi! ♥Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5841889026658306428.post-23944412719017991452012-04-25T18:07:12.425-04:002012-04-25T18:07:12.425-04:00I agree with Karen, YA is exciting!

I think Katherine made some good points about fame and the desire to be known and matter, or just treated special. Both sound really good. Great post, Mimi, and awesome giveaway!

I think the second post is so interesting, we are in some way fascinated by fame. It would be really nice for people to know your name but you have to sacrifice some things too.

Good YA lit is not lukewarm and has the reader passionate it about it be it good or bad. <br /><br />And why the world is so obsessed with the private lives of well known stars is ALMOST beyond me. I do think that underneath it all, we revel in knowing that they are really very ordinary, and more like us unknowns than not. I guess we may just be searching out their humanity.<br /><br />Anyway, great guest posts and thanks for the awesome giveaways!Jadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05010634004221131416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5841889026658306428.post-32035565886288162392012-04-25T11:54:35.547-04:002012-04-25T11:54:35.547-04:00YA Lit rocks my world too!

If I judge her writing only by this guest post, I know for sure now that I'm going to love her writing! I can't wait to read her book - it sounds like something I'm going to need Kleenex beside me! x) The guest post from Katherine Grace Bond is soo right LOL - it'd be kind of cool to be well known and have your M&M served into a crystal dish! If the guy-next-door were a celebrity, I think my life would be much more interesting (though I doubt it that I'd be intrigued enough to stalk him!). :D<br /><br />Aloha, Mimi! <3 Thank you for hosting the giveaway - the two books sound AMAZING, oh how I wish I could move in now to US or Canada LOL!

(though it's probably too late and close to the release date) It sounds like an awesome summer read! I also LOVED the guest posts of both these lovely authors :D Karen managed to pinpoint EXACTLY why I love YA! It's cuz it's intense and never easy- just like that period of our lives :) And Katherine is so right about fame! It's like an easy way to feel important and better and worthy and discounts all that went wrong/wronged us, in some way. Or so it feels like. Thanks so much for the amazing post, Mimi :)<br /><br />I'm gonna enter the giveaway! Not from US but is it okay as long as I give a US address? I know people there who are coming here this June. And these books sound so amazing :)Pooja.
