Age-Appropriate

By --Deb on

btt button

Do you read books “meant” for other age groups? Adult books when you were a child; Young-Adult books now that you’re grown; Picture books just for kicks … You know … books not “meant” for you. Or do you pretty much stick to what’s written for people your age?

  31. Walt

    My (sorta disjointed) post is up here: http://comicreviewsbywalt.wordpress.com/2011/05/12/booking-through-thursday-age-appropriate/

    Basically, I read whatever’s appealing to me–always have–which pretty much translates to this adult reading like a kid-at-heart in the YA stuff.

    I originally said “no”. But after some consideration I realized that was a lie and changed it to “sometimes”.

  77. Lena

    I read whatever is interesting. If it’s good. It gets read. Even some of the books I prefer, can end up being a dud. So I try to keep an open mind. I love YA, and I read middle grade because I have kids. I like to know what they are reading and be able to discuss it with them.

  78. Michelle

    Although technically and legally an adult, I love YA and children’s books.
