I love to read. I cant really say what my favorite themes are because i pretty much read anything that grabs my attention but i tend to stick to YA. I am currently finishing my Students Teaching and have less time to read but i still find ways to get a few chapters a-day in. This is my first time doing this and i am super excited.
Welcome to the First Look club! Good luck with your writing! I wish you much success!

Hello - I am an an aspiring YA author currently working towards my MFA in writing for children and young adult literature.
Wish I had known what an MFA was back in the day when I was in college. I hear of so many writers who have them these days. I started out as a creative writing major back in the dark ages in college, but the program wasn't well developed at that time and it ended up being more of a minor and turned into my hobby instead of my career. Both of my degrees are in education, but we have the YA genre in common. It was such a priviledge to have Lauren Oliver's YA novel turn out to be my first experience in the First Look club. What a gift to have such talent and already be published at her age.
Ello everyone! This is my second First Look (first was the Postmistress) and I am SO excited to get to read Before I Fall, it's been on my TBR for a while now so I can't wait to read it & talk about it with everyone!
Hi! I am a teacher who just rediscovered YA books after some recommendations from students. I have 2 kids under 5, who keep me really busy! This book seems really intriguing and so far I am really enjoying it!
