What’s Your Favorite Thingamajig?

April 10, 2013 | , , ,

During the last school visit I attended, I was asked by a student what my favorite genre was.

Gahhhh!!!!! I couldn’t pick. My tastes are varied. The clock was ticking. Teen readers were looking at me like I was a nut.  I wondered how I was going to answer the question???? And then it hit me. BAM!

I don’t have a favorite genre. I don’t even have a favorite type of book. I have a favorite thingamajig. You know–a thingamajig–wait–you don’t know???? I’ll bet you’d know it if you saw it. It’s the kind of book that makes you do this…

My most recent thingamajiggy books are anything by Chris Cleave. Chris is an adult author from across the pond. And while I’m reading fabulous YA and MG books right now, his writing haunts me as a reader and a writer. So much so, he’s become one of my favorite authors and the adult author I’m most captivated by. What’s your favorite thingamajig?

Book by Chris Cleave:

*INCENDIARY

*LITTLE BEE

*GOLD
