They have NO idea of what YA is! <br /> And another thing that gets me pretty pissed off is that by hearig "young" they say: you are in college, and still reading children´s twilight books? I mean..C'mon! A fiend's grandma reads my friend's YA books and she LOVES them.

And then they look at me funny, kinda like this 0_o as if only young preteen girls should read them. <br /><br />And the reality is, they'd probably love these books also if they just gave them a chance!Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03022815349809140110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2897777812787333518.post-48885622305046221272011-04-10T17:30:36.267-07:002011-04-10T17:30:36.267-07:00I totally agree, and yes, I DO hate that. There ar...I totally agree, and yes, I DO hate that. There are so many YA books out right now that are a million times better than Twilight. People just can't seem to get past that one series. Even just last night, my husband picked up my copy of City of Bones that I'm reading, read the description, and, bless his heart, said, "So...it's like Twilight?" Um, no. But thanks for asking. :) Good rant!Megan @ Reading for Refugehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01927738414620943286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2897777812787333518.post-91789556243402319692011-04-10T17:01:55.425-07:002011-04-10T17:01:55.425-07:00agreed!

Wh...None of my friends understand my love of books. When C.C. Hunter visited my school and she talked about her book, all everybody could talk about was her book being a "Twilight rip-off." Even my English teacher wasn't a fan of her. It was just me against everybody else, so I couldn't really do anything. A couple of my friends like to read, but none of them are obsessed like I am. They were never blog, or go to book conventions, or anything. Makes me very lonely. :(<br /><br />What I hate most is just when they hate on books without even reading them. Sure, they're not "classics," but they may be in a couple decades. I prefer to not have my passion called "pointless," thank you very much.<br /><br />So, yeah. That's why I never talk about books with my friends.<br /><br />Lucia<br /><a href="http://bit.ly/ftxOlr" rel="nofollow">iLive, iLaugh, iLove Books</a>Lucia (iLive, iLaugh, iLove Books)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14904039384433294763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2897777812787333518.post-68637867959097300102011-04-10T16:37:57.761-07:002011-04-10T16:37:57.761-07:00I agree, I hate it when everyone associates YA wit...I agree, I hate it when everyone associates YA with Twilight, there were books before Twilight, just because it might have made it a bit more popular does not mean that is all thats out there..I love YA and I am not afraid to admit it..lol. :)Stormihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07157799090129414984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2897777812787333518.post-23031042315095470412011-04-10T16:26:34.304-07:002011-04-10T16:26:34.304-07:00I completely agree with you.

I feel like the blurb is just an unnecessary way to say "this book is YA".pepsivanillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05184170915815736323noreply@blogger.com
