Yeah, a lot of the books I've been reading have definitely followed a formula. I wonder if NA will fizzle out because of this or if people will start mixing things up to give it longevity.

Still, I do enjoy this theme although I fear it might fast get tiring! What I love it seeing all this success of Indie's Authors that are not being aquired by big publishers!! Makes me super happy and yes Publishers FINALLY realize the potential awesomeness of these books!

I can't wait to read Just One Day - it's top of my wish list for next year. I read a sampler and loved it, but unfortunately my Edelweiss request was declined, so I have to wait until January to read the rest!daisychainbooksnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5689237444917451564.post-24120324190172021812012-11-20T19:43:36.272+00:002012-11-20T19:43:36.272+00:00Truly amazing how this has become the hottest genr...Truly amazing how this has become the hottest genre in publishing!Lauren Blakelynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5689237444917451564.post-80185155671010388042012-11-20T19:17:40.501+00:002012-11-20T19:17:40.501+00:00Oh, you KNOW I love NA and this post, Leanna! Love...Oh, you KNOW I love NA and this post, Leanna! Loved Slammed, loved Losing It, loved Easy. And thanks for the other rec's that I haven't read yet!<br /><br />So I have another for you to add to your list of NA releases next year: Just One Day by Gayle Forman. I finished it last night and I have to say, it is the absolute best example of a New Adult novel I have ever read. EVER. It captures perfectly that time you speak of, that time after high school when a young person has new found independence and is trying to define themselves in their own terms (as opposed to their parent's definition.) Best Forman book I have read yet:)<br /><br />Great post!

I wasn't sure what it was and a blogger friend of mine tried to explain it to me. I am just now starting to see eldelweiss treeline have more books available for review in this category. Nice explanation and selection above.Gina @ My Precioushttp://thecallawayfam.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
