Ok Meg Cabot...anyone know her? If not how about Stephenie Meyers?
Or The Clique books, A-list, and maybe even Gossip Girl? And any other YA book mostly for teenage girls...

I just want to know peoples opinions of then....no pressure to you know who!

I know they are additve! I do believe I've read The Secret Language of Girls. It wasn't so bad :)!


p.s.- Sadly I am slowly growing out of them...
"Show us, don't tell us!" They say, but sadly I realize I'm a storyteller. When I cross over and accept maturity, when I want to change then maybe I'll be willing to show people my prose and not tell them. As a writer I have to grow. :)

Hate to admit it, but I love them...XD They're just so simple to swallow. As lovely as Dostoyevsky or Waugh or any of my other favorite authors are, they're hard to get through. You can sit down and read a Princess Diaries book in an afternoon, and it's fun reading.

I don't know...I've been getting into edgier things, but I do enjoy Meg Cabot. Her newer stuff isn't as good, but I did like the Princess Diaries. ^_^

Oh- and Georgia Nicholson? I absolutely adore Georgia.

You are sooo right though Meg Cabot is easy to read! Actually she was my favorite author lol, kind of still is. And that remembers me of what i used to read before YA books...God* I can't think of the author...Sharon Creech? Yeah awesome writer!


And i do see how you would dislike girlish books but some you will maybe onday find are AWESOME! I mean what is there not to like about 1-800-WHERERU ? OR the Mediator series? Okay, sorry i must be scarying you lol.

No, I just prefer real literature. Writing should convey something beautiful, something deep, or something new about both the writer as a person or the way one writes. Meg cabot and trashy novels do nothing of the kind; they serve to please momentarily, that is all.

Maybe for you, and by trashy I'm assuming you mean Gossip Girl and the A-list.... But Meg Cabot actually does have meaning for a lot of girls. And how would you know which one's are trashy? Nevermind I'm just curious.


p.s.- What about Twilight?
