The YA Connection is a collaborative column collected by Kristi (The Story) and Steph (Reviewer X). In it can be found links from around the YA blogosphere, including, but not limited to, contests links, author blog links, review links, and miscellaneous news pertaining to the age group. Also, Kristi and Steph hold weekly contests accompanying the column, as well as a book and author spotlight.
If you're a blogger, author or publicist looking to have your links added, please email me. Any book donations for giveaways are also greatly appreciated. Please note that the spotlights are not up to suggestion, but rather decided by both Kristi and Steph.
This week the official YA Connection can be found at Reviewer X and next week it will be back here at The Story.
Don't forget to head over to Steph's blog Reviewer X and sign up for this weeks contest. Paper Town, need I say more! The secret word(s) this week are lolly gobble bliss bombs. For all the information on how to enter head over to Reviewer X!
