Bingewatching YA Read- Alikes With all the ways to watch TV today including; on demand, DVR, and instant streaming it is possible to watch an entire series’ episodes back to back rather than in a serialized week to week format. This kind of watching has been dubbed “binge-watching.” Maybe when you hear this term, an image comes to mind of someone mindlessly watching hour after hour of TV whilst eating chips.

Here are some great YA read-alikes inspired by some of my binge-worthy favorites. Orange is the New Black – One of Netflix’s original binge-worthy series.
