Hey everyone! Busy school year! Also busy book reading. Trust me guys I have been reading like crazy to get ready for all the books that are coming out later this fall! (More in later posts)
   Since the last book of the month was Paper Towns...this month is Stolen by Lucy Christopher!!! I am actually currently reading this book(I have wanted to read it for probably over a year) and am OBSESSED with it! So go out and buy it!.... Sold at a book store near you... :) Anyway I didn't really have much to report back so I will come back ASAP to let you know what's really going on in the YA book community today! *book shimmy*

   Hello my fellow book nerds! I have some extra time so I thought I'd inform you on some amazing awesome crazy stuff! 

   Okay so first I am kind of getting into the manga anime stuff so yeah. I love love loooove Studio Ghibli (Castle in the Sky, Spirited Away, Ponyo, etc.) and I also found Maximum Ride! I only read a sneak peek of one of the books but it was really good! 

   Also I was just informed that Kiera Cass is coming out with a new book called The Siren and it comes out January 26, 2016. WHA WHA WHAAA. But do not fret. PRE-ORDER! 

   Before I let you go I also have to that I will be super busy due to school and things so I may only post once or twice a month! -__- But I will make as much time as I can! *book shimmy*

   And I'm back... hey hey hey! Sorry I was really busy with school coming up and whatnot so here I am and I have A LOT to tell ya'll! So I finished Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas and it was better than I expected! I'm kinda sad that... oops, don't wanna spoil it. Anyway I am now reading a lot more books because I went to the library (the new one on Chickasaw Trail)with my aunt and cousins. I am now reading Vanishing Girls by Lauren Oliver, Isla and the Happily Ever After by Stephanie Perkins (finally), and The Assassin's Blade by Sarah J. Maas (life for Celaena before Throne of Glass).

   So Winter by Marissa Meyer is coming out in November so she is going on a book tour, and she's coming to Orlando! I'm so excited! CAN'T WAIT, CAN'T WAIT, CAN'T WAAAIIT! *book shimmy* So click here for the link to the tour dates and where she is going. YAY! 

   Also there is a trilogy called Sweet Evil by Wendy Higgins and the guy main character has his POV in a book coming out later in the fall. (It's called Sweet Temptation)

   Since I haven't been doing book of the week often I will now be doing book of the month! And this month is.... wait for it.... hold on.... Paper Towns by John Green! Since the movie came out last month in honor it is now book of the month. Go read. Now. 

   So I hope everyone has and great day and I will see you next week (hopefully)! *book shimmy*

   Hey hey hey! I finished The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin and it was SUPER good! Can't wait to read the next one, The Evolution of Mara Dyer! Also since I have not done the book of the week in a while this is the book of the week.

   So if you are wondering what it is like to go to a bookstore with a book nerd, then for our non-book nerdy friends click on this. 

   So I have also started to read Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas and IT IS SOOO CUTE!!! I swear, like, wow. So read it. Now. 

   I also will be updating Awesome Authors to the right over there, so click on the authors name if you love them or need a new book and/or series to read! 

   I didn't really have anything planned so I guess when something new pops up will get to you as soon as I can!

   And if you guys don't know what a *book shimmy* is or how to do it read below.

*book shimmy* (noun): A spontaneous shimmy caused by becoming overly excited about a book you are reading.

There are many ways one can perform a *book shimmy* but the basics are just rotating your shoulders (and upper body) back and forth. We recommend practicing the classic to start out, then don’t be afraid to branch out and discover your signature shimmy style.

And I'm back! So a lot has happened since I've been gone. Paper Towns came out today, the book covers for the Red Queen novellas came out a couple days ago, I got a Beatrice Prior Insurgent Collector Black Label Doll (Collector's Edition((yes, I know I'm weird)), I'm almost done with The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer, I'm going to Tampa next week, and I got the moneys to BUY MORE BOOKS!!!!!!!! So I know that was a lot but I gotta go and I will make sure to make time for me to just sit, breathe, and blog for a second. But... that's not today! Luv ya! *book shimmy*

   Hey hey hey I'm back! I've got a lot so read very closely...
   I finished Ignite Me by Tahereh Mafi. I will do a review on that soon...(video maybe!!) and also the most A-MAY-ZANG new to come out since the Insurgent movie is #SHATTERMETV! That's right the Shatter Me series may be made into a TV series on ABC network (I think).
   Paper Towns major motion picture comes out soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yay!!!
   And then some I will make sure to post as soon as I find anything else groundbreaking in the YA world today. So luh ya all and see ya soon!!
   

This is probably my last post for this week because I will be SUPER busy. BUT as you know my birthday was two days ago and I got over $70 for books. ALL OF IT. So since books are so stinkin' expensive I only got six books... wah. But the books I got are Delirium, Ignite Me, Throne of Glass, The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer, Cress, and Unite Me. But have no fear I am going to the book store later this week to get some more!!!! YAY! I'm thinking Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard, A Thousand Pieces of You by Claudia Gray, or somethin' else. Anyway all these books look SUPER good so that is also part of the reason I'm so busy. Man the hard life. Gotta get back to reading! *book shimmy*

   Hi! I'm back from O'Brien, Florida and I am so duper glad to be back. I went to a camp called Camp Dovewood and I got a lot of awards and rode horses etc. So sorry I didn't get to it yesterday I was super busy with the 4th of July stuff. Speaking of MY BIRTHDAY IS TOMORROW!!!!!!!! Yay!
   SO lets get right to it. The book of the week is I am Number Four by Pittacus Lore! It was turned into a movie many many years ago but I'm just starting to read it now.

   Along with that I am also reading The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan and Scarlet by Marissa Meyer. So as you can see I will be having a VERY productive summer and because of this and many other things I may post  once every couple of weeks or when I have time! Here is I am Number Four! Have a great day! *book shimmy* 

   So I know it took me forever but I am leaving tomorrow morning! So of course I will not be posting in a week but the book of the week is posted down below(Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli). 
   I also figured out the name for the Lunar Chronicles Collection book coming out next year on February 2nd. It is called Stars Above: A Lunar Chronicles Collection. 
  
 It will include Glitches: A prequel to Cinder

The Queen’s Army: A prequel to Scarlet

Carswell’s Guide to Being Lucky: A prequel to Cress

The Princess and the Guard: A never-before-released prequel to Winter

The Little Android: My retelling of Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Little Mermaid”

And a BRAND NEW as-yet-to-be-determined story!

 PLUS a sneak peek at my first non-TLC novel,Heartless 

I hope your as excited as I am for 2015-16 new books! See you soon! *book shimmy*

I just found out that after Winter comes out on November 10 a new book is coming out with a bunch of extra short stories and stuff. I totally forgot what it's called but I will get on that soon! Also the Paper Towns movie is coming out in July(my birthday month)! Anyway gotta go back to Virtual School... see ya later! *book shimmy*

Hey hey hey! I FINALLY got over my book burden! I finished Cinder last night night and thank God my mom already bought me Scarlet. So I started that last night too! I feel so accomplished it's
A-MAY-ZANG.
 Just to remind you to check out my Goodreads @craycrayforYA and EpicReads @erudite60. I didn't really have anything planned. Sorry for posting so late. Luh ya! (This is Maru) *book shimmy*

Ever have that feeling when you want to finish a book but you don't want to at the same time? Same for me!!!! I want to finish Cinder so bad but I just want to eat and sleep at the same time. It's terrible,  I know but that's been happening a lot lately. ANYWAY.  I made a vow to myself to finish the Lunar Chronicles by the time Winter comes out and I am doing pretty good if I finish Cinder by tomorrow(hopefully) then I can read Scarlet and so on.

Okay I'm back again! Only to say that I will not be here at all next week! Yay vacay! So I only came back to tell you about new releases coming out this year and next year!!!
   So to start it actually turns out that Winter by Marissa Meyer doesn't come out 'til sometime in November... but don't fret PRE-ORDER!. Thank you Lord for the internet.
   Another fab book by The One, The Elite, THE Author KIERA CASS!!! (See what I did there?) So she wrote a another book, not a novel but a book filled with novellas and maps and people from the Selection and let me tell you it's gonna be awesome. It is called Happily Ever After. So get that in October or PRE-ORDER!
   She is also writing the last and final book in the Selection Series that comes out next year and currently does not have a title, but as soon as I find that out I will tell you. Find more Selection related stuff at Kiera's website! http://www.kieracass.com/
   Also one last book that you may want to know about is the Red Queen trilogy. The Red Queen came out not to long ago and the book title for the second book was just released on EpicReads. It is called  Glass Sword and the book cover is coming soon. It is by Victoria Aveyard and looks really good. I'm planning on reading it in the next month or so... cause I have no money. BUT WHATEVER! Bye luv ya. Check out Maru on YouTube and *book shimmy*
 

Okay! To get right into it the book of the week is... Cinder by Marissa Meyer. This book is awesome has a lot of cliff hangers and plot twists. It is also part of the Lunar Chronicles. The books in order are Cinder, Scarlet, Cress, and Winter. Then Queen Levana's story in Fairest. Reads these books if you love fairy tales, sci-fi, and of course YA. I highly recommend it!. Gotta jet... *book shimmy*

   Hey hey hey! A couple of weeks ago I made a motto for myself that is also on my Google Plus account and displayed to the right of this blog. Read...Eat...Sleep...Repeat. Personally I absolutely love this because these four words are basically my life. I think I saw it somewhere but that doesn't matter. 

   Anyway I am going to start having a book of the week and this week is Gone by Micheal Grant. *book shimmy*

   Hey guys... so it kinda feels like I'm bloggin' to myself but... I know I'm not. So I if ya'll could be a little more active that would be A-MAY-ZANG. Even if it's literally one person who comments that would be... wow.
   Anyway enough about my boring life, let's get book nerdie!!!!! I may or may not do a book haul... hmmm we'll see. Questions or comments on that comment below.
   One book I REALLY want to read is Isla and the Happily Ever After by Stephanie Perkins. If anyone has read it and wants to do a book review down below about it... BE MY GUEST, BE MY GUEST. PUT MY SERVICE TO THE TEST! I know, I'm very corny.
   Anyway! Uh yea... *book shimmy*

Hey guys... just to let you know I will be going on a cruise next week so I may not post in a while. But don't worry! I will be back in less than a week! I've also been getting a lot of confusion towards my blogs name. Just to clarify it is Cray Cray for YA. In case you didn't know YA means Young Adult because those are the books I mostly focus on (Divergent, Hunger Games, etc.) Thanks again for anyone who seems to stumble upon my blog here and don't forget to comment if you have any concerns and follow me On EpicReads, GoodReads, and Wattpad (listed above). Lastly here is the book cover of Ignite Me just in case you were curious. *book shimmy*

Has anyone read The Testing by Joelle Charbonneau yet? If you haven't don't bother. This lady totally rips off The Hunger Games AND Divergent!! Like come on, you can't try to copy two of the best YA books OF ALL TIME. Who does that? But this is also a Sunshine State Book for the 2015-16 school year... so if you certainly HAVE to and there are no other books in the galaxy, then... knock yourself out. My one recommendation for you book lovers is the Shatter Me series by Tahereh Mafi. I will blog about that series sooooon... or when I get the last book in the series (Ignite Me). Love you all! *book shimmy*

Hey hey hey! It's ME... Diana with craycrayforYA and thank for joining me! Come here so we can get all book nerdie... and stuff. Make sure to follow me @erudite60 on EpicReads and Wattpad! Then after you do that follow me on GoodReads @craycrayforYA. Thank you so much again and I hope to hear from all of you soon!  *book shimmy*
