Since last poll there was a tie between fantasy and young adult, I decided to split the two genres in these two months (July was fantasy genre discussion), and August is currently young adult genre discussion.
For this month's genre discussion, we are reading books in the fantasy/paranormal genre. What is the difference between the two? Is there one?
Young Adult: "fiction written for readers from 12 to 18 years of age" and can include themes of "friendship, sexuality, drugs and alcohol, and sexual and gender identity." It is typically written for the teen audience (vs middle grade) and the characters are in their teen years.
Here are some guiding discussion questions:
- What book did you read or are currently reading?
- Do you feel the author portrayed the genre, fantasy or paranormal, well?
- Were there other genres included? Which one(s)?
- Do you generally read young adult novels? Why did you choose this one to read?
- Please share your rating and recommendation.
Can't wait to hear about what you are all reading!
