My Return to YA
The book that brought me back was Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead! I positively LOVED it! It was so exciting and snarky and Rose was just a character I really enjoyed! It was after I binge read the first three books and was agonizingly waiting the fourth one to release that I started seeing other titles that were of interest to me! YA books that were paranormal in nature and were calling my name! And it was then I was noticing my "adult" authors were also writing YA, such as Kelley Armstrong and Kim Harrison! I was in love!
I call the years without any Paranormal YA books the dark days. The years in my teen life were pretty dark as there were few and far between books for me to read in those days. Reading was and still is my escape from reality, so I needed a book to help keep myself sane from the insanity of life that surrounded me! The fact that I had to wait another odd amount of years for these books to come out both saddened me, just a little, but I am still grateful that these books came out in my time! That I am still kicking it around to be able to read them!
Or else, you know, I'd be haunting the bookstores trying to pull a Patrick Swayze to read the books once they are on the shelves! Lol!!
Is there a book that brought you back to a genre you thought you left behind for good? Do you still read that genre?
