It's Thanksgiving, and you know what that means—being thankful…for pumpkin pie. I'm also thankful that there are so many amazing books for teens out there. As much as I loved those girl detectives and wacky blonde twins, I always felt like there was something missing from the teen section of my bookstore when I was younger.
Now, that section is huge. There's something for everyone, and it's all so good. Even now that I'm an "adult," I still shop in the teen section for all the fantastic books. I'm thankful that when I do, I only get weird looks once in a while.
I'm also thankful for this contest, because now you guys get to create exactly the kind of fiction you want to find in the bookstore—a story you've tailor-made, through voting and writing, to be exactly right for you. I didn't think anything could be better than pumpkin pie, but this might beat it. Or at least tie.
So, thank you, FanLit members! Keep writing and voting! And tell me—what are you thankful for this year?
