This week I spied on my site using Google analytics. The biggest revelation? Finding out the blog posts that have gotten the most hits, including several with over a 1000. Who are all these people reading my blog? I’d love to know!

Here are the top five blog posts, based on traffic:

5. Personal Mission Statement: Be peaceful. Be patient. Be Persistent (the words that keep me sane)

4. The Tattoo Story (how I got my only tattoo)

3. On Sex: Teens Are (Sexual) People, Too (why sex has a place in YA)

2. Parent-Vision, Teen-Vision, and What It Means for Books to Reach Their Audience (in response to the Gurdon “YA is too dark” business)

1. My review of Last Night I Sang to the Monster by Benjamin Alire Sáenz
