#fyaphotoaday Day 15: The Book Wasn‘t Better. This book was just not my jam, but I could Netflix and chill with evil NPH all day. - Britt #thebadbeginning #aseriesofunfortunateevents #lemonysnicket #middlegrade #nph #countolaf #thebookwasntbetter #netflix

#fyaphotoaday Day 14: Unpopular Opinion. At least two of us at FYA HQ liked the #harrypotter epilogue... #amreading #yalit #yabooks #bibliophile #booklover #harrypotterandthedeathlyhallows

#fyaphotoaday Day 13: Friday The 13th - The characters in this book REALLY believe in bad luck and superstitions, though it's not all spooky—there's a TON of heart. - Stephanie #fridaythe13th #badluck #asemidefinitivelistofworstnightmares #amreading #currentlyreading #yabooks #yaliterature

#fyaphotoaday Day 12: Frustration, thy name is... THE NIGHT WE SAID YES. My book club read this last year and we were promised a wild and crazy night where you have to say yes to ANYTHING. Do you want to know what "anything" was? Skinny dipping with your underwear on, sneaking onto the roof of the school, waiting outside while your friends buy the alcohol, doing karaoke. OMFG. (continued below)

Apologies for the hiatus! Will be catching up on #fyaphotoaday over the next few days. Let‘s pick up where we left off with Day 11: Riot Grrls. Happy #dayofthegirl to these real and fictional ladies (including their authors!) who take a stand for other women. These are just a few of our faves—tell us all about yours! #feminist #riotgrrl #amreading #yalit #yabooks #deadfeminists #atyrannyofpetticoats #underapaintedsky #moxie #dumplin #wonderwomen

#fyaphotoaday Day 10: It's In The Bag. My Kindle goes everywhere with me. Imagine the horror of being stuck in a line, a waiting room, or on public transit without a book to read. 😥 - Rosemary #amreading #bibliophile #yalit #yaliterature #yabooks #gemina #illuminae #amiekaufman #jaykristoff #nationalhandbagday

#fyaphotoaday Day 9: Book Swag. I've been lucky to get a lot of Grishaverse swag over the past few years. It's always so pretty! - mc #yalit #yaliterature #bookswag #leighbardugo #grisha #grishaverse #sixofcrows #crookedkingdom #shadowandbone #ruinandrising #siegeandstorm

#fyaphotoaday Day 8: Feel the Power. Marie Lu's THE YOUNG ELITES series, OF COURSE. ALWAYS. 😍😍😍 - Mandy W. #yalit #yaliterature #marielu #theyoungelites

#fyaphotoaday Day 7: Mix Tape. I'm addicted to making Spotify playlists for literally any occasion. I made this playlist, The Dreamer/The Dream, when I was deep in my feels over THE RAVEN KING, and I love it so much, it's sort of become my unofficial reading soundtrack. - Rosemary #yalit #yaliterature #mixtape #readingsoundtrack #maggiestiefvater #theravenking #theravencycle

#fyaphotoaday Day 6: Reading Spot. Mandy W. is definitely all about the comfort while reading. #yalit #yaliterature

#fyaphotoaday Day 5: Monster Crush. Rhys turned out to be a total sweetheart, but he sure can pull off "monster" with panache. ? - mc #acourtofmistandfury #rhysand #sarahjmaas #yalit #yaliterature

#fyaphotoaday Day 4: Let's Get Familiar. Because of his namesake, you'd think he'd be into demons and ghosts, but Winchester is NOT about scary sounds in the dark. Sleep is his natural state, and sometimes, when he's really into a dream, he'll be sleep-barking and -running it up. I'd like to think he'd enjoy the adventure of THE HUNGER GAMES while simultaneously enjoying the fact that he's really just as lazy as a Capitol citizen. -Stephanie

3. Do you have a favorite member of the Dregs? Who is it, and why? #fyabookclub #septemberfyabc

#fyaphotoaday Day 3: Currently reading.

- Mandy W.: WONDER by R.J. Palacio

- Jennie: ALL THE CROOKED SAINTS by Maggie Stiefvater
- Mandy C.: THE LANGUAGE OF THORNS by Leigh Bardugo
- Britt: A CONJURING OF LIGHT by V.E. Schwab

#fyaphotoaday Day 2: Character Cars. Although Toothless isn't a YA character, he's close! And a great namesake for our Mini Cooper, which has red interior accents and the ability to light up blue when feeling particularly fiesty. (Or if I flip the switch. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯) -mc

#yaliterature #yalit #bibliophile

#fyaphotoaday Day 1: Coffee and TBR. (Also my official #fyaocttbr.) This month I've got ALL THE CROOKED SAINTS by Maggie Stiefvater, BEFORE THE DEVIL BREAKS YOU by Libba Bray, and THAT INEVITABLE VICTORIAN THING by E.K. Johnston. I can already tell you that BEFORE THE DEVIL BREAKS YOU will give you TEABS and leave you clamoring for the final Diviners book.

And finally:

10. What do you hope happens after the book ends? What do you think happens? Are they the same thing? #fyabookclub #julyfyabc

Thanks for discussing! See you soon with questions for the August selection, THE MEMORY BOOK by Lara Avery.

8. This book has plenty of fistpump-worthy moments. Which one was your favorite? #fyabookclub #julyfyabc

6. Meredith Russo makes it very clear that Amanda's story (or any trans person's story) should not be regarded as the definitive trans experience. Do you think she succeeded? Does the book avoid veering into after-school special territory? #fyabookclub #julyfyabc

5. Parts of Amanda's identity often feel at odds with each other, like her being trans and also being religious and living in the South. What did you think of how these conflicts were portrayed? #fyabookclub #julyfyabc

3. Amanda's mom and dad have very different parenting styles. Would you give either (or both, or neither) a parenting award? Is—and should—their support of their daughter exceptional or expected? #fyabookclub #julyfyabc

1. In many ways, Amanda is a typical teen: she's in several fandoms, she's afraid people will hate her if they know the real her, she has a crush on another person at school, she worries how she'll fit in with her friends, and she's struggling to relate to her parents and survive in a place that she doesn't necessarily love. Did you feel like Meredith Russo depicted the universal aspects of Amanda's life as well as the not-so-universal ones?

Let's break some ice!

Amanda becomes fast friends with Layla, Chloe, and Anna. Did you ever (or
do you still) belong to one of those friend groups that often shows up in
pop culture? What was your role? #fyabookclub #julyfyabc

We are suckers for authors who write about bibliophiles, and Cindy Pon's WANT is no exception! #cindypon #want #fyaquotes #quotes #quotestoliveby #quoteoftheday #yaliterature #yalit #youngadult

Meredith Russo will open your mind and your heart with her powerful debut, IF I WAS YOUR GIRL. Check out our review for this month's book club pick at http://foreveryoungadult.com/2016/05/17/if-i-was-your-girl/, and stay tuned for discussion questions right here on Litsy! #fyabookclub #julyfyabc

Sorry for the delay in new questions this month, fam! Here's the icebreaker for June's book:

If you could be truly great at any form of art, what would it be? Would you give up seven years of your life for that greatness?

#fyabookclub #junfyabc

New month—new book!

Let's kick things off with an icebreaker:

Braden has a promising career in baseball and works hard to achieve his potential. Did you play sports as a teen or have any extracurriculars with the possibility of "going pro"? Did you feel any of the pressures that Braden experienced?

#fyabookclub #mayfyabc

New month—new FYABC book to read and discuss!

Here's our icebreaker:

Have you ever made a tough decision that went against the wishes of your parents/guardians/friends, solely because you knew it was the best choice for you?

#fyabookclub #aprfyabc

New month means it's time for a new book, and a new icebreaker!

Who was the Maribeth Whitman of your high school? And did you have any run-ins with her?
