Hobbies I like to see in YA books (pt. 1)

Hello everyone! I hope everyone is doing well and making sure to take care of themselves!

At first I was reluctant to use the word hobby, but it’s the only word that kind of encompasses all the books, so just know that for most of these characters their love of the activity exceeds that of a hobby.
