About:

ON HIATUS




A community for readers & writers of YA fiction.


About
Sometimes you just want to read a boy book.

My purpose in making this community was to:

1. provide a forum for readers to offer & find boy book recommendations, and discuss boy books

2. give boy book writers a place to congregate

Boy books are simply "books that appeal to boys." For the purpose of this community, I'd like to restrict the discussion to books that also have male protagonists.
Rules
1. Anyone can join. Remember that you must join in order to post and/or to read locked entries!

2. Your posts should be related to boy books, writing for boys, or getting boys to read. Also, keep in mind that the focus here is on YA (young adult) literature.

3. Your posts should be semi-literate. If you can't spell, or don't know how to type, please refine your skills elsewhere.

4. If you want to advertise a book-related community, or plug your own boy book, feel free to do so. But if your advertising becomes excessive, or is just really irritating, I reserve the right to delete your post, for the health & well-being of everyone's f-list.


Please have fun, and READ! Use your library if you have no $$!

P.S. Comic books are books, baby. We are not book snobs here.
