Welcome to the Bookanistas!

The Bookanistas are a group of writers - in various stages of the publishing process - who have decided to band together and review the special books of our peers.
We primarily focus on Middle Grade and Young Adult books. And we tend to review books that have just come out in the last year or that are coming out in the future.

No negative reviews here! This business is hard enough so we give nothing but love. Rest assured, we are honest. If we like the book, we give it a special shout out.

We post every Thursday and cover various topics - upcoming ARCs, books we love, diamonds in the rough, classics, and even give cover love.

Come join the Bookanistas! We think books are the new black!

HEY.

I posted looking for writing advice in another club, and received a comment suggesting I try asking here. I'm trying to write a short story that starts with a romantic scene. I don't do much romance work. I'm looking for advice on writing a good (PG-13) romance scene between two 15-year-olds. Thanks in advance!

Hey guys, need some help! For standard english (my HSC year) my topic is 'into the world'. Now I know that I am doing Billy Elliot the film as a prescribed text and I need two other related texts (they can't be the same and can't be a film). So I was wondering if you knew of any books that would fit into the topic of 'into the world'

comment...hello Tiger - when I did my HSC (back in 1976 mind you) one of the set texts was Hickleberry Finn by Mark Twain - it has heaps of the coming out in the world stuff

I have just finished DAUGHTER OF SMOKE & BONE by Laini Taylor and it was one of the most incredible YA books I have ever read. Has anyone else read it? You can read my review on the book profile page but keen to discuss it with anyone who has read it as well.

Hi. I'm not sure if you remember but you recommended I read this book a few months ago. I loved it. I thought it was incredibly written and an inventive and clever plot. Thanks!

Hello, I have been in here a few times and have not noticed much activity. Is this book club still functional?

Hello to all! I am seeking some guidance in regards to attempting writing my first book (or an assemblance of it at least). I have so many ideas in my head however when it comes to putting them down on paper i seem to be at a loss. I am a very stubborn individual and would like to one day have at least one book written by me in my vast book collection, therefore i submit my question: Does anyone have some helpful hints, tips or tricks that they would share with me so i can attempt to get the ball rolling? It is muchly appreciated :)
