Still it was marketed as YA book in some countries due to the increasing popularity of the genre/category. So it seems the your best YA adaptation spot is still empty...now I'm curious what you'll pick for the YA theme in March, that is if you join in that week.Wandererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02942463921185187112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-28891935465547688512015-02-05T08:41:22.733-05:002015-02-05T08:41:22.733-05:00I went into WB expecting a lame rip-off of the alr...I went into WB expecting a lame rip-off of the already lame Twilight and received quite the nice surprise.
