Voting is now open at the Book Blogger Appreciation Week Awards.

I read Young Adult fiction. I like Young Adult fiction. An yet, I’m ashamed to admit that I’ve never visited any of the blogs on this list. Time to remedy that little shortcoming.

Green Bean Teen Queen is a teen/tween librarian. She likes Emma-Jean Lazarus! (I just finished Emma Jean Lazarus Falls in Love, and it was just as good as the first Emma Jean book.) She’s in library school, and she’s reading all the latest YA stuff plus the classics for her classes. Lots of crazy reading!

Mrs. Magoo Reads Mrs. Magoo runs a first line contest each month featuring the first lines of all the books she’s read that month. I like that idea. Saturday’s Scribe is Mrs. Magoo’s feature for author interviews; she’s interviewed some great YA authors such as Mary E. Pearson, Lisa Graff, and Sarah Beth Durst.

My Favorite Author is a YA blog for adults, written by three co-bloggers whose nicknames are Speed Reader, Page Turner, and Aubrey. These three between them read A LOT of books, and they review them all for the benefit of those adults who enjoy young adult themes and characters and for the teens who drop in, too. The blog is on hiatus while Speed Reader deals with some health issues, but there are enough back reviews to keep anyone reading for a long while.

Pop Culture Junkie Alea has already read and reviewed 103 books this year, so if she spends time on other forms of “pop culture” I don’t know when she sleeps. I’m sure I could find several books in there to add to my TBR list, but I’m resisting temptation.

The Story Siren (also nominated for Best Design and Most Extravagant Giveaways) is the blogging home of Kristi who hosts In My Mailbox, where she posts about the books she’s acquired that week, and other bloggers can also link to “posts about what books we have received that week (via your mailbox/library/store bought)!” And she has a page that lists forthcoming YA and adult titles. That’s information that I’m always interested in knowing.

So I’m torn between two blogs for my vote in this category, but I choose . . . Green Bean Teen Queen. Because she shares my Emma Jean love. And because library school students are special; I know because I wuz one once upon a time.
