Wild Things: YA Grown-Up discussion

I saw that there weren't many romance books on here so I thought I would add this book. I finished it today for the challenge (a book published the year you were born...1985).

This was my second Ibbotson book and I liked it way more than A Countess Below Stairs.

It's about an english girl that wants to become a ballerina, but her uptight professor dad thinks badly on girls in general. So he won't allow his daughter to join a traveling dance company to the amazon. So this is her adventure to pursuing her dance career, but falls in love when she gets there.

What did you think of it? Ive been wanting to read it really bad. Is it part of a series or a single book?

Ohh fiona Im with you on that! Im not a big romance fan either. But if the guys a knight in shining armor Im hooked! Or forbidding love, which the only good kind seems to be the old fashioned!

Lori...this book was really the cute romantic type...the boy who saves the girl from her meanie family. I didn't like the beginning of the book, it was a liitle too slow for me, but once it got to the main part...I was hooked. I wsa even giggling out loud in the end.

I think you'll enjoy it...especially you Fiona since you like Ibbotson.

Fiona...I'm becoming a fan of Ibbotson, so I think I'm gonna add A Morning Gift to my list : )

I read a song for summer and a Countess Below and really enjoyed both of them. I haven't read A Morning Gift. Im about to go to the bookstore though I might pick that and a company for swans up. Im in need of a break from this stressful adult books and need some good YA romance. =-) Fiona what crime book are you reading now?
