Since I read Easy by Tammara Webber I'm reading New Adult books and I have a lot of favorites! <br />Easy by Tammara Webber (this is a must read!), Slammed and Point of Retreat by Colleen Hoover.<br />Another my favorite is My Favorite Mistake by Chelsea M. Cameron, Charade by Nyrae Dawn and The Sea of Tranquility by Katja Millay!

Awesome post!:D
Ever since I read Easy by ...Eeep! Awesome post!:D <br /><br />Ever since I read Easy by Tammara Webber and Slammed by Colleen Hover this past summer, I've become addicted to this New Adult genre. I was already a little burned out on my usual YA Paranormal books, so this genre was a perfect fit for me! It may or may not be because I'm 24 and it's much easier to connect with the characters. (I tend to get impatient with the angsty, immature YA and I'm not ready to jump to the lots-of-drama-get-a-killer-career-get-married-make-babies type of adult books yet LOL).<br /><br />Anyway... Here's a list that has all the good stuff in NA: <br /><br />http://www.goodreads.com/genres/new-adult<br /><br />I personally recommend: Flat-Out Love by Jessica Park (one of my all time fav now!), The Sea Breeze series by Abbi Glines, Lengths by Steph Campbell and Liz Reinhardt, Just remember to breathe, The Sea of Tranquility, Losing It, The Secret of Ella & Micah, Crash by Nicolle Williams... and I'll stop now. LOL<br /><br />I hope you enjoy the books you get!:)<br /><br />Oh, and Happy Thanksgiving!Deeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04020398462121714932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3237472495858622850.post-88530798970525684532012-11-22T10:52:56.065+00:002012-11-22T10:52:56.065+00:00Thanks Amanda!

It's a bit like YA with more mature characters and steamier scenes!

There are all of the steamy moments of Adult Books but from a younger voice that isn't as angsty as a teen voice. It might just be my perfect genre!

I haven't read anything from this genre yet but I would definitely be willing to give it a go, especially if we really do get something in the middle of YA and adult. I'll be looking to you for some recommendations after you've read some :DLyndsey OHalloranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04329828978270120140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3237472495858622850.post-85313831526593283672012-11-21T19:38:46.507+00:002012-11-21T19:38:46.507+00:00I'll definitely be interested to check out thi...I'll definitely be interested to check out this new middle band of literature. I struggle at the shop sometimes to decide whether a book should be shelved as YA or adult fiction, so maybe those are the books I should try! I find that YA literature can sometimes be a bit too angsty for me (I had such a shit few years as a teenager that I REALLY don't want to relive it now) and I often want a bit more spice in my romances, if you know what I mean, but at 25 I'm not really up in the mummy-lit or high-flying businesswoman bracket either! That's why I tend to flit over most chick lit unless it has a particular hook I love (like a cool setting or a quirky twist), because I just don't relate to it. Looking forward to seeing what you recommend in the months to come! :)Elliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07246472269477492583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3237472495858622850.post-84743835589181818742012-11-21T19:26:12.636+00:002012-11-21T19:26:12.636+00:00I'm 23 and agree with everything in this post!...I'm 23 and agree with everything in this post!<br /><br />I've only read a handful of these new New Adult novels, and so far I'm liking what I'm seeing.

I have a bunch to get through like Slammed and Easy. The only one I've read so far is Holier Than Thou by Laura Buzo which I loved! I can't wait to pick up more of these books! :)Jasprithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11346050783201302967noreply@blogger.com
