A big Hello to everyone out there!

Hello everyone! I would like to give you all a cordial welcome to From EBA to YA! This is my introductory post to welcome all you readers and let you know just what From EBA to YA actually is. Now, I've always wanted to have a review blog where I could express my feelings, good or bad, about books. Why? Well, because I read A LOT. I probably read more than do any other things. But lets get this started!

A Little About Me

My name is Laura. I'm 21 years old and I'm a Senior at the University of Puerto Rico - Rio Piedras. I study English Literature, mainly because of my love for reading; especially in the English language. I love reading, all kinds of music, theater, movies, Japan, anything Japan related, travelling, Disney World and much, much more.

What Is From EBA to YA?

I've had a lot of failed blogs. Why? Because I can't keep up with them, I'm lazy. However, I've decided to give written blogging another time and I plan to really stick with it this time around. Now, you probably wonder what the hell From EBA to YA means. Well, I love me some YA literature. For those of you that don't know what YA stands for, well it's Young Adult literature. 90% of the books I read every year are classified as YA. So the name of this blog is me making fun of myself, because people make fun of me, an Senior English Lit BA student, for reading and loving YA. I don't care though, I truly believe YA literature is at it's peak at the moment and it's the next generation of literature genres out there. Plus, there are some wonderfully written YA books out there and amazing authors that can quickly become the next best thing.

What Will I Find Here?

Here you will find well written (it's my pet peeve), interesting and fun reviews of many YA titles, many popular some not so much. My goal is to express my thoughts on YA books, have discussions with fellow readers and do what I like best: read and write.

So, that's my introduction to the blog. Up next I leave you with a list of the first 3 YA titles I will be reviewing in the next few days. 2 of them are new releases. Please fell free to comment, join and e-mail if you have any questions or recommendations for me.

Welcome and have fun!
