Read this if you are craving entertainment

Since YA stands for “Young Adult”, do you find it embarrassing to ask for book recommendations without having a teenager as an alibi? Don’t worry — I’ve got the tips you need to get started.
I love YA books and have read a lot of them over the last decade. They give me sheer enjoyment, relaxation, and energy replenishment.
