Cast of Characters

Meet the FYAers…

poshdeluxe

Sarah lives in Austin, TX. She loves baked goods, fancy pants drinks and dance parties. Her dream in life is to be best friends with Sarah Dessen and Mindy Kaling and have lots and lots of slumber parties. Her favorite YA boy is Jonah Griggs from Jellicoe Road. Well… he’s actually tied with Wes from The Truth About Forever and Marcus Flutie from the Jessica Darling series. And also Cameron Quick from Sweethearts. And ok obviously Sarah has a lot of book crushes, which is one of the reasons she started this site.

jenny

Jenny recently moved to Austin from Cambridge, MA. She has been reading non-stop since Walter Farley’s The Black Stallion found its way into her 9-year old hands.  Apart from spending time reading, she loves writing, watching movies, tasty beverages, and other leisure activities that don’t require her to leave her house/restaurant/bar.

Erin read her first YA novel when she was seven.  At the time, she felt this made her super-edgy and smart, but it was quickly pointed out to her that she’d read, with equal enthusiasm, the back of a cereal box if it was placed in front of her.  She’s become slightly more discerning over the years, but her bookshelf continuously hovers at 50% YA novels.  She still reads the backs of cereal boxes with enthusiasm.

meghan

meghan is a librarian and lives in georgia (although she’ll always be a texan). she loves books (obvs), cooking and homey things like knitting. although she’s around books all the time, she doesn’t get to read as much as she’d like. instead, she’s constantly adding books to her to-read list and helping other people discover new favorite books. she can’t remember learning to read, and went from the cat in the hat to nancy drew pretty quickly, and when lois lowry’s rabble starkey found it’s way into her 8-year-old hands, it was all over. she’s waiting for the day meg cabot shows up at her door with a dvd of “bring it on,” a makeup kit and 2 dozen cupcakes and says she wants to have a slumber party.

megan no h

Though always a Minnesotan at heart, Megan currently lives in Washington DC and works for The Man.  She spends much of her time reading books, reading about books, thinking about books and getting her husband’s library card (hers has too many fines) frozen on account of having too many overdue books at any given time.  When she isn’t doing the aforementioned activities, she is busy taking unnaturally long naps or playing with her level 85 druid.  If she could spoon with any fictional character it would either be Peeta or the tag-team action of twins Sandy and Dennys.
