Dominated by women I know but all of these books made me think. They got the little gears in my head turning. They made me think about my beliefs and the person I was.

I always feel kinda guilty for loving Francesca Lia Block the way that I do, because I KNOW in my literary soul that what she writes is trashy young adult lit, but it FEELS SO RIGHT.

So rock on to you for listing her.
