Unwalled Room

Welcome to the Unwalled Room.

Because not everything fits in a box. 


I had been the proud owner of this blog for over a year when the hard truth finally sank in: there are books that tend to escape any category. Yes, they can still be labeled, but it's not easy to put them in one of my designated Rooms - or I might spoil them too much if I did. As soon as I realized this, I decided to reserve them a special place in my blog, which I called the Weird Room at first. But I wasn't really happy with the name. I meant it in a good way, but who knows - maybe some authors might find the adjective not particularly flattering 😶. Another year passed before I came up with a satisfying name...why, the Unwalled Room! It's mysterious, and likely to confuse some of my visitors at first (or to seduce them into visiting this page just in order to see what it's about LOL)...and still it conveys the meaning I'm trying to communicate. This is an open space, where books that refuse to be labeled - or politely ask not to - are stored and live happily ever after. Welcome, oh you reader in search of a thrill 🙂.
(In plain English: these books are a mixture of afterlife, horror, supernatural, sci-fi and thriller, in different doses and maybe not always all together. A paradisaical mess 😉).
As usual, books in bold are the ones I still have to read...

Welcome to Offbeat YA! I love hearing from you and always - I mean always - acknowledge your comments. This used to be a full democracy place, because anyone could comment, regardless of being a registered member of any community. Unfortunately, I had to turn off the Anonymous comment option, because I was getting too much spam that didn't get filtered. So, you’ll need to have a Google account (Gmail will suffice) in order to comment. Sorry about that. Anyway, jump right in! Come on, you know you want to...😉 And be sure to leave a link!
BTW...I don't care if a post is a million months old - you comment, I respond. And you make my day 😃.
