Do you read YA as an adult?

article image placeholderThe 100 Best YA Books of All Time
And I've actually been thinking of revisiting it as an adult to see how I experience it now. So what are some of your favorite Ya reads? And if you're someone who maybe hasn't read a ton of young adult fiction but is curious, I've linked a really great list here that is at least according to Time, the 100 Best Young Adult, the Shim books. Have fun

You. Hey, this is Erica. Souljourney one k. Excellent question, excellent topic. I Love Ya novels. I grew up reading Ya novels, and Judy Bloom is number one. Also, what's interesting is that after a time I started reading more adult fiction. And then in 2008, I found Twilight. And people can say what they want about Twilight, but it rekindled my love for Ya books. And so since then, I started reading more Ya

@bowie The deep end all the time gets tiring :)

And if you focus just on the deep end all the time, you're going to drown. You're going to tire this. Enjoy the shallow end. Sometimes it's okay to just do a little splashy in the pole and leave. So, yes, I definitely read why as an adult. I also sometimes read children's books as an adult because, hey, we all need those little reassurances sometimes. That's why we read, right? We want to be comforted. Definitely

It's okay to play in the shallow end so that we don't drown or get too much heaviness in our hearts. So, yeah, I really enjoyed your response as well
