YA novels at jezebel.com

I'm finally following up on Michelle's tip about the YA novel reviews at jezebel.com. They're pretty fluffy, but often funny, and they tend to be aimed at books that I did, in fact, read as a child, but which never made it into my personal canon -- e.g. Paula Danziger's The Cat Ate My Gymsuit (perhaps one of the best reviews in the series), Ellen Raskin's The Westing Game, and Katherine Paterson's Jacob Have I Loved. It's interesting to be reminded of these books.

Apropos of the recent conference, they also do Alanna and the YA-lit-as-advertising phenomenon.
