Those who know me and follow my blog, know that I am a new adult and adult book addict.
I love a good book that can make me blush and most adult books do that. I love the romance and heat between the characters. The sexual tension that is created and builds is electrifying.
Since New Adult has become a popular genre, I have fallen in love with it. I love it because it has some of the steam and sexual tension from the adult genre but it also is much more intense and emotional.
What genres that weren't specifically discussed in Armchair BEA this week that you really love to read?
Wrap Up
Today is the final day of Armchair BEA and I wanted to do a wrap up post. This is my first year participating and it was a really amazing experience. I am a newbie blogger so it was great having the opportunity to connect with other newbie bloggers as well as seasoned bloggers. I loved being able to have discussions on topics like ethics, young adult, genre literature, classics, etc. It was also fun to read other's posts and see what their take is on the different genres and the books that they like to read.
The blogger community is so amazing and there are so many awesome people out there.
I want to thank all the bloggers out there for the fun week of interaction and discussions. I also want to thank all the bloggers out there for all the amazing book recommendations that I am always getting from you. I had an awesome week and I hope you all did too!
I agree, I've had so much fun this week - even if I haven't really read much when it comes to books :) I've read a lot of different blogs, though, and it amazes me how wonderful this community of bloggers truly is!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog, and for the fun interactions we've had! I look forward to having many, many more :)
Great wrap up and I'm glad you enjoyed your week. I discovered Armchair BEA last year and loved it. I've been Book Expo in years past so it's nice to be able to have a virtual way to play. Looking forward to reading more of your blog.
ReplyDeleteI agree, it is so amazing how awesome and huge the book blogging community it. :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you! I hope I will get a chance to go to BEA in person one of these years but it is so awesome how they give us an opportunity to participate online. Thanks for stopping by and I look forward to interacting with you in the future :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd I always feel lucky to be a part of this community :)
ReplyDeleteI'm not sold on New Adult although I know many readers are enjoying it. This was my first year attending Armchair BEA. I didn't last year because I didn't really understand it all and I was much smaller. I'm definitely glad I took the plunge this year though. I had a blast and found so many amazing new blogs because of it.
ReplyDeleteMy BEA post for today.
I have yet to read any New Adult titles. What would you recommend starting with?
ReplyDeleteOh man, I have so many that I love :-) 2 of my absolute favorites are Falling into You by Jasinda Wilder and The Edge of Never by J.A. Radmerski. They do have some descriptive sexual scenes so I like to warn people in case that bothers them but they are so amazing. Everyone I recommended them to loved them. If you want more recommendations, you can also check out the new adult label on the footer of my blog. It is one of the main genres I read so I am always adding more too. :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm in the middle of The Edge of Never right now and loving it. I was really enjoying ABEA, great topics everyday but then I got sick and had to abandon ship.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are loving it! Yay!! Oh man, I am glad you are feeling better! :-)
ReplyDeleteAs with any genre, it really is all about personal taste. I am a huge adult novel fan as well as young adult contemporary so new adult is perfect for me since it is kind of right in between. I am really glad I participated too, it was so great being able to meet new bloggers :-) Thank you for stopping by!
