I love young adult books, the plots and characters seem more realistic than in "adult" books and the authors are more connected to their readers. I was just wondering if anyone else feels this way or if it's just me...
Do you still read Young Adult books?

07/23/2012

I won't read a book just because it's YA, however I won't discount a book just because it's YA either.

I read books from every level. The day after I finished 'War and Peace', I read through my collection of picture books.
Some YA books are great, some are awful, but no one should discount an entire slice of the publishing market for not being "high brow" enough. I generally prefer YA fantasy to traditionally adult fantasy - it's less over-dramatic and more accessible.

If a plot idea interests me, I'll read the book, I don't care who it was allegedly written for, and there are some great authors out there writing YA fiction.

Some of them are great - Harry Potter and Percy Jackson are two I enjoy. Probably my favorite series ever is considered YA - The Dark Is Rising.
07/23/2012
Sometimes!
07/23/2012
I don't read them nearly as often.. but if a good one came along I'd read it.
07/23/2012
I'm a nerdfighter. Of course I do.
07/23/2012
Not generally, but there's always exceptions
07/24/2012
I read all kinds to be honest, but I'm a sucker for YA.
07/25/2012
Yup lol
07/25/2012
I definitely do. No shame in that.
07/25/2012
I guess some of the manga I read could be appropriate for that age group, but I typically don't read books of the young adult genre. I don't really find them relateable.
07/25/2012
man of COURSE I love reading some young adult novels- like Tithe? that was a great book
and I'm currently re-reading the series of unfortunate events

It's pretty much all I read...I just can't get into "adult"-style books. They tend to bore me.
07/25/2012
I read any book that strikes my fancy.

Maybe once in awhile, but not really. I've been reading books for adults since I was 11 or 12.
07/26/2012
If it looks good, I'll read it!
07/27/2012

07/27/2012
Not really, but I read mostly non-fiction.

I read adult books, but I will always have a soft spot in my heart of a good piece of young adult fiction. :]
