I'm still waiting for 'choose your own adventure' books to make a comeback.

The Funnily Enough
So many adults are reading and enjoying YA - your trend might work!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to know what YA novels were on that AARP list!!!
ReplyDeleteI can believe that, because I confess that I enjoy a good YA story. One of the last books I purchased was a YA book. Ha...tell people you write MA...well it would certainly make an impression huh? Good post.
ReplyDeleteGo for it - start the trend!
ReplyDeleteOh, too funny! And so true. It does seem as if it'll have to be renamed at some point.
ReplyDeleteAdventures at the Nursing Home? Not sure that will be flying off the shelves.
ReplyDeleteSenior Cit Lit? Hmm--maybe lacks the vitality of Young Adult Literature. Besides who wants to be mature.

You're right there, Lee. I guess that's why I write for YA and MG readers. I can be anywhere from 13-20 again.
DeleteAn urge to relive our teen years maybe? :) I do enjoy some YA, more and more recently lately.

Yes, but does YA come in big print? I have to confess I haven't read The Hunger Games yet because of the size of that tiny print!
ReplyDeleteGreat question. I guess you got my answer, but for others:11 and 12 point seem to be the font sizes I've found in my YA library.
DeleteSomeone has to start a trend, I think you are on to something!
ReplyDeleteHello, beautiful space, passing to say hello, nice to read your text.
ReplyDeleteif you like the poetry I invite you to my space, thank you.
happy day.
It's an interesting thought. I think teen lit has become such a phenomonon and it's great to see so many reading it. Adults love reliving those teen years thru characters.
ReplyDeleteMA! I love it!! Why not?!?! LOL! I'd like to think that teens also read books meant for adults too! Take care

This is a short and spot-on post, Clee. I wonder, too. In the past few months, I have read several YA novels--and never had before. They were quite good-- and surprising to me was how much I didn't miss the mature content. Great "Y" post :-)
ReplyDeleteEverything that goes around comes around as when I was YA age, the genre didn't even exist.
ReplyDeleteYA is a new genre which I discovered recently and I enjoy reading it now.
ReplyDeleteThanks Medeia!
MA. It has a nice ring to it!
ReplyDeleteSo true. It bugs my thirteen year old to death that I like to read her books, too.
ReplyDeleteHey C.
ReplyDeleteLove MA - go for it!
Just wanted to say hi, and give you huge props for your hard work in my A to Z Writing Prompts Challenge - your entries had me in stitches!!! Hope your computer bug is all sorted out (I didn't give it to you, honest!). I've given you a little surprise on my blog though, if you want to stop by :D
Hugs,

Interesting concept. Why do people do the opposite of what is reccommended? I guess it's in the nature of the beastie.

You've got to love YA. I can't remember the last time I read an adult book. LOL
ReplyDeleteI'm glad more adults are reading YA these days. Makes me feel less "alone"!
