I started following you from Carly Watters' Twitter feed and I'm so glad I did b/c I'm a huge fan of contemporary YA (it's in part what I like to write). So much of what you put down here resonates with me--especially the whole aspect of getting serious about writing; I've written my entire professional life but only in the past two years have I gotten serious about fiction. Thanks for sharing this great list (and as for Mr. King, somewhere I read him saying--maybe in his brilliant On Writing--that despite all his book sales and commercial success, he's given up ever trying to be respected by the Literary Establishment. So yep, we ALL have our hang-ups--even the great ones! ;) — @gailwernerAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04747587970888210193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3012734805341021893.post-11728129371078552672015-01-20T11:45:34.563-04:002015-01-20T11:45:34.563-04:00Thank you both!Thank you both!Rebecca Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10605951994731977780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3012734805341021893.post-44970409365285632592015-01-20T11:32:56.942-04:002015-01-20T11:32:56.942-04:00Ha, love this.

If it weren't for Anne I wouldn't have had the pleasure of reading your books because they are not my thing the afore mentioned Mr. King and most mystery and crime are more to my liking.

This was really hard, but I *think* my top three of the year were:<br /><br />Clockwork Princess<br />The Night Circus<br />The Lucy Variations<br /><br />(Out of 64 or 65 by year end.) And Delirium is one of my top reads of *ever* but I didn't read it this year.

I wrote it, revised it, and two weeks later it was entered into ABNA 2012. It spent six months tied up in the contest, then afterward I got an agent and decided to try and get it published traditionally. Hopefully one day it will be for sale. :) Rebecca Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10605951994731977780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3012734805341021893.post-76554818843720844832013-03-11T16:21:30.895-03:002013-03-11T16:21:30.895-03:00Hi Rebecca, Congratulations on becoming a Finalist...Hi Rebecca, Congratulations on becoming a Finalist last year.
