Q: What is your guilty pleasure as far as reading? Is it a genre, or is it a certain type of book?
Wow, what a Q! :) I do love reading many genres, but it might be obvious or not, that I do love, just love New Adult. It's definitely a genre I have grasped onto, since I learned about it, last April/May and it's just been really fun reading the different New Adult novels. I'm currently a college student, and some of the characters I read, do go to college, and some don't concentrate on a college setting, but I like relating to the characters I read, because maybe its the same age, but I just find myself relating to them, in different ways. I also love Adult Contemporary Romances, where the characters are a bit older than New Adult characters or they sometimes are not, older than 25, so anyway, there's still so manyyyyy books I have to read, some books that have been raved so much, and I hope to read them this year :)
Here are a few Clickable covers (that lead to Goodreads) of some of my favorite New Adult/Contemporary Romance novels. There are some I'm definitely forgetting, but here's what came into my mind right now :)
I would love to check out your posts so remember to leave your link down below in the comment area & Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Yes it is! :)
DeleteI would have loved New Adult if it were around when I was in college!!!! I like it now, but I just know I would have loved reading about college kids. Plus I like the romance :)
ReplyDeleteYes the Romance is lovely :) Even when I started college a few years ago, I was looking for books that had college characters; so glad there's a variety now.
DeleteI haven't read much new adult yet, but I would have really enjoyed having it when I was in college. Like you I love a lot of different genres, but I do enjoy my romances when everyone gets their Happily Ever After :D Thanks for stopping by this week! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteTraci @ Mad Hatter Reads

sure! hope you check some of them out :)
DeleteNew Adult is great, sometimes it's nice to read about characters who are still in a school setting, but older than high-school. Thanks for including some clickable covers for us - I'm checking some of those out.
ReplyDeleteOld follower stopping by to wish you a wonderful weekend. Here's my FF post for this week.
Yay, great :) thanks for commenting!
DeleteI am so confused with genres. If someone wants to explain me how to separate them I would be so happy!!
ReplyDeleteI read many genres, that I know, but which is which..:/
I am an old follower.
Here is my FF http://goo.gl/P6ToX
well New Adult concentrates on characters that usually range from 18-25 and it can include college or not, and these 'New Adults' sometimes face realistic situations, and face a new sense of independence, but it just depends on which story. hopefully that helps with this genre: New Adult.
DeleteThank you for explaining. :)
DeleteI have written a mystery novel titled, Dazed and now that you're explaining me this, it could be New Adult. I have to find the genre that my story represents by the time I finish editing it, but I am really confused. :/
I hope you find the correct genre for your upcoming book and if it's new adult, that's exciting :)
DeleteI've started reading some New Adult books recently, I completely agree with you about relating to them. I'm currently at university too :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!
My FF
That's great! :)
DeleteEnjoy! your reads.

Good choice! Maybe this should have been my answer. :) I occasionally make a little fun of some NA books in my reviews, but I have yet to pick one up and not eagerly read through to the end, even when I find myself rolling my eyes at times.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by! New follower.
Stephanie (Go Flash Go) @ Read, Rinse, Repeat
Hopefully some of the covers of the books you see above, will catch your eye. Vain, let me say, was purely awesome, really; if you haven't read that one yet. :)
DeleteI've just discovered that New Adult was actually a genre, and from what I've read of it so far, I'm liking it. :D However, I tend to stay away from strictly adult books, because a lot of the time there a little bit to a......mature for me. xD
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by! Old follower. :)
Daphne @ Reading Until Dawn
That's great! I hope you checked some of the covers above :)
DeleteAnd I totally understand about the adult books; read whatever you're comfortable with :)
LOVE LOVE LOVE New Adult. If You Stay by Courtney Cole and Vain by Fisher Amelie are probably my favorites so far this year.
ReplyDeletePS- Thanks for the follow! Following you back :)
Christyn @ The Book Cafe
Yes! If you Stay was really good! Vain was just incredible; definitely ones of my favorites too, this year. :)
DeleteI would love to get into New Adult. Thanks for posting some book covers. I'll check them out :)
