YA books are pretty big these days, and as a result there are many articles written about YA books spattered across the internets.  I've read a fair amount of them, and while I like that books are a topic of conversation, many of these articles clearly have no idea what they're talking about.  One such article was recently published by Laura C. Mallonee entitled "Time for Teen Fantasy Heroines to Grow Up."  (I won't share the link because it's not really worth the read.  I'm sure you could find it via a quick Google search if you really wanted to.)  I am actually glad that this dumb article was written, though, because it prompted this response , complete with a YA Article Bingo board.  If you've ever read anything about YA, this will likely ring true to you.  I had a good chuckle.  Enjoy!
