S/0 do you read YA books

[disneychrista]

Not as a rule but I really enjoyed Thirteen Reason Why (so much better than the Netflix show).

Yes that can be a bit confusing. I have read several books lately that like to go back & forth between characters telling the story. Sometimes I end up having to re-read a passage because it didn't make sense because I was "reading" it from the wrong character.

I barely have time for the few I do have to read. But I am not really into YA books. I like real life murder trials, and good murder mystery books.

Sometimes, although I don't read as much as I used to and lately it tends to be more non-fiction. I enjoyed several of John Green's books, then saw the movies. I also occasionally re-read some of my childhood favorites that I consider classics, like The Outsiders, Catcher in the Rye, and A Wrinkle In Time.

I love to read YA books! I have even written a few.

I often joke that if someone found my Kindle they would think that I am a 14 year old girl.

 

[CynBeth]

I love the Harry Potter series, Twilight series, and Hunger Games series. I have also read a few others such as Mortal Instruments series and Divergent series but do read adult books by Nora Roberts, Debbie Macomber, and Janet Evanovich plus some others.

Same with mine and the sad thing is I turn 32 a week from today

I do sometimes. My friend has even been to go back to when she was young, she'll pull out Nancy Drew for a quick read. Now, not sure how popular they are anymore but they were a big deal in our childhood.

Well, I am 40 years old and my favorite books are the Harry Potter and Fablehaven series' (I guess those might be considered kids books? Or are they young adults?). I like their creativity and imagination. While I like adult books too, I have a harder time finding ones that I like. I find too many seem to focus on sex or graphic violence. That said, my favorite "adult books" are Jane Eyre, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, and A Man Called Ove (though initially I found that one disturbing). But I find the first place I go when I enter a book store is the young adult section!

Yes! I'm 27 and I love to read YA. I love anything by Sarah Dessen. I also love that there's sort of a new category being created called "new adult" for people in the "too old for ya but too young for adult" demographic. So I read YA and NA.

 

[tinkerbellandeeyor]

I want to check out the new category

Harry Potter is my favourite series!! I've read the Twilight, Hunger Games and Divergent series as well. I also love the Little House on the Prairie and Anne of Green Gables. Not sure if they're considered YA?

 

[Kogo Shuko]

I read a lot of books, and I am not ashamed to admit I do enjoy teen fiction, and sometimes kids chapter books as well. Mind you, I usually am reading them because my boyfriend's son recommends them to me. But I like them nonetheless.

I LOVED the Hunger Games when the books first came out.

 

[Cogswel_Cogs]

I read them in part because I write them. However Harry Potter IMO really changed things and the distinction to YA Books is blurrier. Many YA books seem to written for all ages to read now. Books like Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children is it a YA Book? I tend to read ones like that or John Greene, not books like Percy Jackson.

Maureen Johnson. Rainbow Rowell.

 

[Swimnoid]

I read just about everything and I do like YA. I'm 62 and work with teens. They often give me recommendations for good books.

 

[GaryDis]

We've gone through the Artemis Fowl series by Eoin Colfer, and the Bartimaeus Sequence by Jonathan Stroud. The latter is described as a children's series on Wikipedia, but I believe it's more YA. We've started on Stroud's Lockwood & Co. series, but I've given up; it lacks the clever wit of Bartimaeus.

These are all audiobooks, which are good for long drives together.

I haven't read A Man Called Ove, but I just finished My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She’s Sorry (also by Fredrik Backman) and loved it! I will try that one and some others on your list.
