Is there an age limit on YA books?

I know plenty of adults who read YA books. Paranormal romance isn't my cup of tea, but I try hard not to judge too harshly... I read Middle Grade books for 7-12 year olds and I'm almost 30! Of course, it's not the ONLY thing I read. I think the big thing about "growing up" with reading is to start balancing out your literary meals. It's totally fine to keep with the paranormal romance, but maybe get an inspirational non-fiction book in there, or a great thriller novel, or an edgy sci-fi. There are a lot of great books out there, and if you only ever focus on one genre, you'll miss out!

I'd say no because I still read some young adult series despite being in my early 20s. I recently read "Percy Jackson and the Olympians" series, along with still reading the Hush, Hush series by Becca Fitzpatrick. If you want to read young adult, read young adult.

You could look into some paranormal romances in the adult genre. A few that come to mind are:

Dark Hunters series by Sherrilyn Kenyons (a group of warriors brought back to an Immortal life by the Goddess Artemis to get revenge on who killed them then kill creatures called Daimons who prey on humans)--if you ever read The Chronicles of Nick, an adult version of him is present in the books.

The Host by Stephanie Meyer (Forget her twilight series. This stand-alone book tells how an alien-like creature and a human subconscious struggle to control one body).

The Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris (vampires, and I'm not a fan of her writing---way too explicit and not the best vampire work by far)

Graveminder by Melissa Marrs explores a new form of zombies and smalltown secrets

Would-Be Witch by Kimberly Frost is an all right series about a witch who struggles with her powers . . . there are three books in the series so far, but I only made it through one (series is called A Southern Witch)

Well actually there are SO MANY paranormal romance books that are not stifled under the young adult tag! I don't know how to start listing them all of, just google either "list of urban fantasy books", or "list of paranormal romance books" and you will honestly come up with hundreds.

I dont really think there is an exact age limit to books , only a recommended age . Also i remember a long time ago when me and my mom used to read the same book and she would enjoy them too . Hope i helped bye !

Nahhh - most of those designations are pretty arbitrary. If you enjoy books in the YA section, or in any other section, go ahead and read them.

Not really, read what you want. I'm in highschool and occasionally look in the kids section in the library.. o.o
