1. Young Adult
Young Adult, also known as YA, is a genre targeted toward teenagers. However, survey polls and research suggest that a good majority of YA readers are actually adults. Some well known YA novels that you may recognize are Holes by Louis Sachar, The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton, To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee, and the Harry Potter Series by J.K. Rowling. These are great books for teenagers, but if you are an adult who thinks you’d enjoy these titles, have no shame and subscribe to the YA genre!
2. Romance
There’s nothing like a good romance novel. According to the Romance Writers of America, there are “two basic elements that comprise every romance novel: a central love story and an emotionally satisfying and optimistic ending.” This sums up the majority of romance novels’ storylines pretty well. Examples of some great Romance novels are The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks, Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell, and Outlander by Diana Gabaldon. According to a survey from the Romance Writers of America, women make up 84% of romance readers and men make up 16%. Who knew? Girls love romance!
