AAA: Appreciating KODY KEPLINGER

12 Comments
Today I am here to appreciate, the one and only, Kody Keplinger! I absolutely ADORE Kody’s books and seriously, if you haven’t read them yet, you are missing out. Without further ado, here is why I appreciate, Kody Keplinger!

At the end of 2011, I made a book resolution that in 2012, I would finally read a book by Kody Keplinger. Were well and truly over the half year mark, and I am happy to say I’ve completed this goal and then some.

I got Shut Out for my birthday in March, read it soon after and loved it. It was everything I had hoped it would be and more. This was the book that first started my love for Kody, and I knew that after reading that one book, whatever she wrote I would love and so far I haven’t been disappointed. Not long after I got my hands on a copy of The DUFF and…wow, just wow. I simply adored it! I had previously pre-ordered A Midsummer’s Nightmare and when it arrived, I started reading it straight after The DUFF. And just like everything Kody writes, I loved it.

I love EVERYTHING about Kody’s books but what I love most is her absolute honesty and the way  she doesn’t shy away from subjects such as drinking, sex or anything else teenagers do. She deals with these issues tactfully and realistically.

I absolutely can’t wait for Goldfish to release in 2013. *squeals* I’ve heard it’s very different from her other work, but I’m sure it will be just as amazing!

I love every single one of Kody’s books (I get giddy just by looking at them on my bookshelf). I could continue fangirling all day, but I’ll stop for now. Thank you, Kody, for sharing your talent and amazing stories with the world. I hope you know I appreciate you!
