OF course, that was when all the books in my reading level only look like ten minutes to read. Now I am l like "We'll worry about having no books to read after you get through your humongous TBR pile on your dresser." Not to mention the articles/news I also regularly read. *sigh*<br /><br />Sometimes I think prison would be great for reading.

TRAGIC.<br /><br />Weird, yeah, I wouldn't classify things that way. Whatevs, though! As long as they have the books, that's what really matters.<br /><br />I think Ruiz Zafon does have some books that are YA books. Maybe. Not The Shadow in the Wind though. Nope. They're trying to make 'new adult' a thing to cover books for people in the 18-22 range, since teens can't handle reading a book about someone slightly older apparently. *stomps*Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00370486039531015541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-267110363219794432012-08-01T23:13:32.605-04:002012-08-01T23:13:32.605-04:00Well, you always surprise me by how many books you...Well, you always surprise me by how many books you manage to read. (it makes me feel bad! hmph!)<br /><br />My library is funky with classifying like that, maybe they don't actually read the books so they don't know...<br />Ready Player One was classified as YA as well. Which might be a good idea since there's a dire lack of "male" YA novels.<br /><br />It surprised me when Carlos Ruiz Zafón and Brandon Sanderson were also in the YA section..and Christopher Pike's Falling (I picked it up thinking it was a YA novel when I was 14, then the gore creeped me out--so not a YA novel).<br />New Adult is a genre? I thought it was just "new adult books." *pat pat*<br />Keep calm and ride a zombie unicorn.Lilianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11540910005642018594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-6486328801747688272012-08-01T23:00:30.244-04:002012-08-01T23:00:30.244-04:00Lol, well I will be reading Incarnate.

I like when people actually say things.<br /><br />It's totes not YA. It's chick lit. If anything it might be 'new adult,' but that new category makes me want to throw things.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00370486039531015541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-69925881462039973832012-08-01T22:53:35.020-04:002012-08-01T22:53:35.020-04:00"Well, your tbr is going to be attacked, beca..."Well, your tbr is going to be attacked, because I mostly have good reviews so far."<br />*rolls up sleeves* BRING IT ON!!<br />I am waiting for your review of Incarnate, I saw the cover staring at me again at the library and I was like "NO! No matter how gorgeous you look, your story is about a whiny girl!"<br /><br />For WoW comments..it would be nice if people actually bothered to put the title of the book in their comment..or something relevant. Instead of just two words. *sulks*<br /><br />OKAY, BACK TO READING ENCHANTED INC.<br />(ooo, I didn't know it was a YA book, but the library labeled it as such)Lilianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11540910005642018594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-89110098628223169492012-08-01T20:09:10.207-04:002012-08-01T20:09:10.207-04:00Well, then you SHOULD join in on the dystopia-read...Well, then you SHOULD join in on the dystopia-reading.

I've had a lot of 4s so far. Only one 5, though.<br /><br />Yeah, I don't like that part of WoW. I try really hard not to use the phrase 'great pick,' because OMG so boring.<br /><br />Bahahaha.

I plan to read a YA romance when I finish up this month. haha. Recovery book!"<br />but..but..I wanted to join in on the cool party! Plus, I wouldn't be able to write dystopian reviews, thus not being able to enter Lenore's dystopian-review giveaway (if I do choose to join Dystopian August.) *pouts*<br />Unless you write a negative review, I will probably put the book on my TBR--and then I will only skim the review. I only hope I have something interesting to say; unlike most of the WoW commenters who I swear didn't read my post and just copied and pasted some generic message like "interesting choice! here's mine:" to linkplug.<br /><br />I liked the GIFS more because DARREN CRISS IS IN THE FIRST ONE!<br /><br />I'm just started Enchanted Inc. as my recovery book!
