YA = young adult
I'm sure you'd have heard because they're so popular. Percy Jackson, Twilight, John Green, all those biggies are YA.
(I dislike the first two though and I haven't tried John Green but I'm a voracious YA reader, too. It's what I usually read.)
@mysticalmoon: Gosh darn that's sad ;_;

That's harder, to my mind. That's an ongoing, you have to live with it forever thing, instead of one single moment that's the exception instead of the rule.

This dress is gorgeous!
As far as reading goes I haven't been reading much lately. Mostly because I have troubles finding books in a language I can read well.
I'd read in Japanese but it's hard on my brain and I use my native language so little that I'm starting to forget it -___-

How lovely  I will always lament how I can't get Lolita fashion where I live.
@Kuuki: Maybe you could try reading manga then, it'll be less text for you to struggle through?

That's a lovely dress!
What about 'classic' YA books like "A Wrinkle In Time"?

@Death Candy: I don't like them either, I mentioned those two because they're the likeliest for you to have heard of.
Twilight is so problematic and all the characters in Percy Jackson sound the same ;_;
I'd suggest Delirium by Lauren Oliver, and Undone by Cat Clarke- actually, anything by Cat Clarke. They're not the absolute best YA out there but they're pretty good, and they're also very much within the genre, as in they'll give you a feel for what the genre is typically like.
@mysticalmoon: Added it to my TBR ;)
@Akili: I liked 'A Wrinkle In Time'. It seemed simple but a lot of thought obviously went into it.

Where do you live Am? Majority of online sites ship Lolita in pretty much any country in the world! I bought my dress online because where I live there are zero physical shops for Lolita haha
