Bibliophiles Anonymous #10 - Young Adult vs. Adult

Authors mentioned: J.K. Rowling, J.R.R. Tolkien, Cassandra Clare, John Green, Maureen Johnson, Lauren Myracle, Suzanne Collins, Stephen Chbosky, and more.

Other books discussed: The Crimson Crown by Cinda Williams Chima, The Lost Prince by Julie Kagawa, Faefever by Karen Marie Moning, and Belgarath the Sorcerer by David Eddings
