 "Why do you read the genre that you do?  What draws you to it?"

I love YA because it was the genre that first made me enjoy reading over a decade ago. Yes, I may be 21 now and some people feel that is a bit too old but YA (though I do read other genres as well) but I think it will continue to be my favorite genre. I am drawn to it because of content and story line. Not only  do you not have to worry as much about gore or content I would prefer not to read about but when you are younger you think differently. So many adults get caught up in their jobs and day to day life that the novels aimed at adults sometimes have something missing that I can find in YA. YA is geared towards teens and teenagers are just starting to be able to experience a lot of new emotions and trials in their life that after long enough we forget about. Reading about those trials and those emotions helps me remember that being human isn't about work or about falling in love, it is about all of the possibilities. The people we can help, the ways that we feel, never knowing what will come next because we create our own futures, etc.
