Do you read New Adult or Young Adult fiction?

[Amber Nichole]

I take it New Adult almost exclusively contains heavy romantic and/or sexual themes? I think as a genre, I would be interested in investigating it. I do read a LOT of YA, but I'm at that point in my life where I feel kind of self-conscious about it. I do stray into other genres because I get tired of the YA cliches sometimes, but I always come back. I suppose I like the emotions and identity building of the YA genre; I also like the fact that YA novels aren't terribly sexually explicit. I don't mind a few smutty scenes (I absolutely LOVE Laurell K Hamilton's Meredith Gentry series), but I don't indulge in it often. If there are "New Adult" novels that are light on the sexual encounters, I might be inclined to pick a few up.

I would prefer reading a book titled Young Adult Fiction. It is my favorite genre along with fantasy and romance.

I prefer Young Adult because the audience it's aimed at is slightly older and focuses less on teenage drama topics. I'm not a fan of the tropes often seen in YA books so I prefer to steer clear of them.

I read YA novels. I haven't tried NA novels yet, but I think YA is more interesting than NA.

I've never heard of "new adult" fiction before now. I think I'd probably be more likely to read it over "young adult" fiction though.

I haven't heard of that either. Sometimes I want something that is not that deep and young adult is perfect...not too deep but engaging and not too long. And besides, need to keep up with what all the kids are reading.

Most of the time I read YA and have read very few NA, though I would really like to read some more.

Young adult is my favorite too, especially fantasy, although I am not a huge fan of romance.

I love all YA, new or old!

I enjoy reading both! But since I'm in my mid 20s, I can relate more to the new adult genre.

To be honest, I don't shy away from any of them. I'd like to read and discover new books all the time. The only two genres that are really not for me are sci-fi and historical fiction.

I'm the same! I'm in my early twenties so I relate more to new adult but I also really enjoy reading YA as well, specifically YA fantasy or dystopian.

Sounds great! I'm not a fan of dystopian stories though, can you recommend some?

I really enjoyed 'The 100' series by Kass Morgan and 'The Hunger Games' by Susanne Collins - they're probably my favourites. But here are some other famous ones:
1. The Giver Series by Lois Lowry
2. Divergent Series by Veronica Roth
3. The Maze Runner Series by Matt Dashner
4. Legend Series by Marie Lu
5. Uglies Series by Scott Westerfeld

Let me know what you think when you've read them! I would seriously recommend you try 'The 100' it was one of my favourite series!

I haven't read many NA books, though I believe it's sometimes interesting to read about the more graphic details that don't quite make it into YA books -- I have a terrible fascination with the gore and the darker side of human nature, and YA books gloss over those most of the time.
