On Tuesday I will try to engage you in a question/topic/idea. You are welcome to write in with a suggestion you want to share or maybe talk about next Tuesday. My response is not right for everyone but I am hoping together we can generate some great conversation. And as always, I would love to hear from you on this topic or any topic out there!
YA books seems to be one of those categories people either really enjoy or they find annoying. What is it about these books that draw people in? Is it the flirtatious yet timid love interests? Or maybe it’s more about being able to relate better to the main character?
But for those who don’t like YA books, what is it that pushes you away? Are the characters too immature? Are you unable to relate? Or maybe the plot isn’t as sexual as you would like?
My Question this week is:
- Do you love or hate YA books?
A- If you love them, why? What draws you to these kinds of books?
B- If you hate them, again why? What are these books missing that you find in other books? - If you are a fan of YA books, name a couple books that fall in your favorite category.
I know hate might be too strong of a word, but I think you get the idea. Feel free to answer all or one of the questions above 🙂
Personally, I find myself moving further away from that genre. The biggest reason being, and gosh I hate saying this, is that I am getting old enough that the characters aren’t relatable or their immaturity gets in the way. That’s kind of a hard thing to look past.
But honestly, I can’t say I hate all YA books because I have read some really entertaining ones. Below are a couple series I have enjoyed. Going through my shelves of read books, I am actually a little surprised with how many YA books I do enjoy. Still, in comparison to my other shelves, my YA shelf is the smallest.
