Sometimes I
wonder if I’m too picky when it comes to books. I’d like to say that I’m very
commercial with my tastes, but honestly that just means that I prefer my
entertainment to be highly polished.
My favorite
novels have almost always been in the young adult section (and notice I didn’t
say genre). The reason I’ve liked these novels is because the stories usually
have to be tight and extremely entertaining for a teen to even read it.
My favorite novels for young adults have been:
1. The
Harry Potter series.
2. The
Warrior Heir.
3. The
Mortal Instruments trilogy.
4. Eragon,
and its sequel Eldest.
5. Wicked
Lovely, and its sequel Radiant Shadows. (though I did like the others)
6. Vampire
Academy series, including Bloodlines
7. Tithe
8. The
Grimm Legacy.
9. I
Hunt Killers.
Lately
though, I’ve been having difficulties in finding lots of novels that I adore.
The last two novels that I loved, I’ve posted a book review on them for all my
fellow rejects. And trust me that’s a really small number compared the how many
I’ve picked up and tried to read.
So here are
my questions for everyone. Has anyone else noticed romance has become a part of
the main synopsis for too many novels even when they’re not considered a paranormal/urban
fantasy romance (to be clear, all novels should have some romance in it)? Are
any of you having issues finding world entrancing novels, for either guys or
girls? And lastly, am I being too picky?
