About Me

Kay
Hi! I'm Kay, a postgrad student in the UK, and who reads a hell of a lot of books! I am a reformed literary snob - I tended to just books by their covers, their reviews in the New Yorker and their lack of a genre. But I came to the realisation a couple of years ago that I was missing out on a hell of a lot. In doing so, I rediscovered my childhood love for fantasy, and made public my online love of romance. If it tells a good story, I don’t really care where the bookstore shelves it!

Teens and Coffee

Posted by Kay 15 November 2009

As a highschooler, coffee was an adult thing.  Something that you drink when you are old and have no energy.  A drink for those who are so desperate for caffeine they ignore the horrible taste.  Going to uni brought me over to the "dark side" and far too much of my work was done with a latte in hand.

And even though I am not long out of my teens, it seems things have changed.  Kids line up at Starbucks after school for their mochas, and can't get by without a morning latte.  Not sure if that is good or bad, but it has affected the YA genre.  Has anyone else picked up on the coffee-infused stories and covers that have been published lately?  Well, if not, here's a shot.
