Welcome to my Mini YA Library Collection! This blog was created as an assignment for Info-265- Materials for Young Adults, a course at San Jose State University. I have selected and reviewed 40 Young Adult (YA) materials that I feel represent an assortment available for YAs today. Included in my blog are books, audiobooks, video games, magazines, TV shows, movies, and more! I hope you enjoy my reviews. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or comments.
