Nat, can you make this a sticky? I can't do it.
Okay so the book/author recommendation thread was SO long and HUGE it was hard to find anything. So I have simplified it and made it easier to find what you are looking for. Yes, it did take forever LOL.
If I left anything out I do apologize.
Hope this helps. (YA)= Young Adult. Please let me know other authors that are YA that I didn’t list as YA I will fix it! I will keep adding to this as well as more people add.
