Young Adult has no age restrictions – unless you’re too young.  Then, well, there’s no need to rush getting older!

Seriously though, when you walk into a book store or library, do you feel like you’re being watched if you don’t go straight to the literary fiction section?  It took me a long time to accept my brain does not think in symbolism and landscapes.  It thinks like a 14 year old on a good day.  I want adventure.  I want dragons.  I want honest emotions and general heroics.  I want someone to save the world, and I don’t care how old he or she is as long as it’s a good story.

I don’t believe I’m alone, either.  I think there are more folks just like me whose greatest joy is finding a book that keeps them reading way past their bed time.  A book they close and immediately start thinking about who has to read it next.  A book that transports them to another time, another age, another place or just down the street.   A book that reminds them of the joy of reading.  I want to read those books, and I’ve discovered, a lot of them are in the YA section.

So, if you’re like me and searching for your next grand adventure, maybe I can find you a book to enjoy in the YA section, too.  Think of it as an anti-aging secret.  It’s hard to feel old when you think like a YA.
