YA Review Blogs

YA Highway just did their "web awards" and listed a ton of great writing and reviewing blogs.

My favourites are The Midnight Garden, run by a bunch of Goodreads reviewers I like, and The Book Lantern, but TBL isn't updated much anymore.

Stiger05, thanks for that link!

The Midnight Garden is also one of my favorites, and I also like Christina Reads YA for fairly neutral, concise reviews, though I admit that I read TMG more.

This is a bit embarrassing, but I follow Good Books and Good Wine. The reviewer does NA/MG as well, but the bulk of the books she reviews are YA. I've picked up a handful of the books she's raved about and I largely agree with her reviews.

My friend just started a blog of all things YA, offering up some book reviews. It's new, but we all start somewhere, right? I find the brevity of her posts refreshing! If you're willing, check it out below!

This is the blog of one of my fellow Hunger Games fansite admins: http://novelnovice.com/

She used to run the HG Examiner site.

Stacked is such a good review blog that i read religiously. It's run by 2 librarians called Kelly Jensen and Kimberly Francisco, and they always have loads of really in-depth reviews as well as cover-focused posts, lists of books about certain themes, etc.

What's the purpose of your question, Liosse?

If you want a source for good books to read, then we must recommend those blogs that have helped us find great books. But if you want to know where you should send your own books for reviews, to attract readers, then the question is which blogs have the greatest reach, or even, which have the best conversion rates (of sending readers off to Amazon et al.).

The answers to those two questions might differ.

I like a lot of the blogs mentioned above. The Book Smugglers are also some of my favorites--they do a lot of YA, although not exclusively.

This one is inactive but it was good.
