Hi! My name is Amber and this is my blog, YA Indulgences. I’m so glad you found it! I am in my 20s, I have had various cats over the time-period of this blog. I enjoy reading obviously. My favorite genre is Contemporary. I especially love the harder hitting books that focus on the darker sides of life. I would never turn down a light-hearted, fluffy read though. I am interested in Contemporary Adult fiction but I do not read it as much as I would like.
Besides blogging and reading, I love listening to music, ranting about tv shows, raving about musicals and scanning the never ending social media websites (See Twitter and Tumblr). Pop music is my newly revisited love. I adore Carly Rae Jepsen and Hilary Duff to a limit that does not exist. I’m always anxiously awaiting albums from Aly & AJ, The Veronicas, Paloma Faith, Sky Ferreira, and Troye Sivan.
Some of my favorite shows are Boy Meets World (Shawn Hunter, need I say more?), Degrassi (May it never ever end), The 100 (Clexa<3), Veronica Mars (Life Goals), Pretty Little Liars (Despite those interesting last three seasons), and The Vampire Diaries (despite that series finale).
I’m not exactly new to writing as I began writing poetry in middle school. Since then I’ve branched to stories and a variety of blogs. None of the other blogs have really stuck out enough to continue, but given this is my third year of blogging, I think I’ve found my place.
YA Indulgences is my book blog which began in July of 2014. I’m so excited to talk about books I love or daon’t love as well as discussing various book related topics. I’m also excited to finally become part of the book blogging community. I hope you will enjoy my journey into the book blogging world as I gets to know others bloggers, readers and hopefully authors. 🙂
In addition to enjoying Young Adult fiction, I like Christian fiction, the idea of Historical fiction (maybe a bit too ‘advanced’ for me) and a good adult contemporary novel. While I’m not a huge fan of Science Fiction or Horror and I’m over the Supernatural Romance craze already, I like to think I wouldn’t rule out reading anything in the Young Adult age group. I always welcome any recommendations so feel free to leave suggestions.
