Sure, I understand. You are young you have the whole world open to you. You can be anything that you choose if you apply yourself and try hard to work toward that goal. But being a Vampire is not what it seems like. It’s a life full of good, and amazing things. We are as human as you are.. It’s not what you are that counts, But how you choose to be.

I mean - I am 23 years old and I am very happy that they've finally made a category that suits me :) I love YA. And I love Adult. But I've always missed something but I couldn't put a finger on it what it was. And when I've read my first New Adult book I knew! I can relate to teens (still feel like a teenager sometimes :P), and I could relate to women in Adult books. But what I was and still am going trough isn't something a YA or Adult fiction girl would go trough. Decisions that will shape my life. These are hard. So I am very happy that I can read about heroines in books that relate to that. I feel less scared of the future this way. You know, like a feeling - if they managed to find the right way, then I can do it too :) Neahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13388968180535346918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3688593041989276313.post-3124382017384177222013-01-12T00:13:44.026-05:002013-01-12T00:13:44.026-05:00I love Jane's definition of New Adult, and thi...I love Jane's definition of New Adult, and think it's pretty perfect. There's so much debate about the new genre and I honestly haven't given it much thought but when you said if you walk into a library do you want the genres separate...I guess I would. Sometimes I feel like reading straight-up YA where the characters are in high school, and sometimes I feel like reading something a bit heavier and maybe even sexier without reading about characters who are in their late 20s, 30s, or older, which would mean I'd go for NA. I also enjoy adult books, and of course they have their own section and I know where to go for them, so why not NA books? Then I think about if I had kids who were, say, 14-16 and the so-called NA books were grouped with the YA books because people don't think NA should be its own genre...would I really want my kid reading hot and heavy sex scenes because NA doesn't have its own section?<br /><br />I have no problem with it being its own genre, but I do have an issue with the way some people define it (like I recently heard it referred to as 'Harry Potter meets 50 Shades of Grey'...I don't even know where to begin with that)...it's also kind of annoying that almost ALL the NA covers coming out are pretty much the exact same, AND some authors use the genre as an excuse to write gratuitous sex scenes. If that's the case, they should be honest and call it erotica. I guess there's a fine line between a lot of genres and with everyone weighing in and having varying opinions, it makes you wonder who makes the final decisions on things like this.<br /><br />Great discussion. :-)<br /><br />~Marie<br /><a href="http://sweetmarie-83.blogspot.ca/" rel="nofollow">Ramblings of a Daydreamer</a>SweetMarie83https://www.blogger.com/profile/12518239232924662332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3688593041989276313.post-91733129274252648562013-01-11T02:19:19.686-05:002013-01-11T02:19:19.686-05:00This is the first that i've heard of "New...This is the first that i've heard of "New Adult" books and am somewhat intrigued by the concept. I just turned 20, so i've pretty much been reading YA books my entire life and even now only venture into the Adult book world rarely. I personally feel like I connect better with characters in high school versus characters that are in their 30s or 40s. I personally would love to have a whole genre of books aimed at 18-30 year olds, it would make sense and would be nice to branch out of the YA section.<br /><br />I guess for now i'll stick to YA (especially since the "New Adult" books that they described I had considered YA anyways) and see where this genre of books goes!<br /><br /><br />-Stacy at <a href="http://longtimeloverofliterature.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow"> Longtime Lover Of Literature </a><br />Stacy Bernstein (Longtime Lover Of Literature)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02600088633073036396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3688593041989276313.post-82883948456126337252013-01-10T15:49:28.395-05:002013-01-10T15:49:28.395-05:00I don't think there is a need for a whole bran...I don't think there is a need for a whole brand new genre. The problem lies with the fact that they'll be lumping YA into that category and do you really want your teen picking up a book filled with so much sex? Parents aren't that involved in what their kids are doing, let alone reading. And with all the devices out there, it's much easier for them to grab a book mom or dad would say 'no' to. As for the genre itself, defining it on the 'more sex', like you said, should not be the defining factor. There's so many books in adult genres with sex, what makes this any different? If it is going to focus more on the transitional period of a young person's shift from high school to college, then by all means, focus on that. Not on how many partners the girl or boy has to 'find their place in life'. That's ridiculous. I'm not against sex in books, but with everyone always up in arms about teenage pregnancies being on the rise, why are we so focused on sex? There's enough of it in movies, even TV and other books, don't create a whole genre to promiscuity to college age people, fresh out of high school.

I have read plenty of books about people in that age group and absolutely nothing have separated them from adult books I have read.<br /><br />It feels more like getting the YA crowd to read a more spicy kind of YA books.
