@allyyccatt I know 😭 it hurt my pastry loving heart to see all that food cast aside

But a character being a teen is simply not what makes a book YA.

[Abby @abbysbookspace]

Re my recent post, it’s so disingenuous to state that some books are YA just because of a character’s age. Yes, there may be some crossover because the book industry at large has not fully adopted new adult. And there have been multiple cases where a book or series was forced

[Abby @abbysbookspace]

And lastly, just to make sure it’s clear, this isn’t me hating on YA or downplaying YA stories. I think YA can be beautiful and profound and have really important messages, and I’m glad teens these days have access to so many incredible stories.

@jmb378 @zbogus77 There’s definitely crossover, but as someone who was bookseller and is now working in a library in the Youth Services Department (which covers Young Adult), it is overwhelmingly not shelved or categorized as YA and outside of maybe the first book, hasn’t been marketed as such.

[Abby @abbysbookspace]

Hmmm no. You clearly don’t understand how books/marketing/publishing work & I don’t think you want to because I’m pretty sure you’re just being a dick.

But fyi it’s not the age of the characters but the age of the target audience as well as themes and content

Hope this helps.

Red Rising is YA
Mistborn is YA
Poppy War is YA
Scholomance is YA

Every book where all the main characters are teenagers is YA

Hope this helps

One of my most anticipated reads arrived in the mail today. So, many apologies to the stack of books I’m currently reading that are waiting to be finished, but I am starting this immediately.

@franknsimmons Lmao if only I knew 😩

[Abby @abbysbookspace]

@_nelb_ Exaaaactly. And if they did? They would be wrong!

[Abby @abbysbookspace]

@zbogus77 Your original post was condescending. Dont dish out what you cant take. The only one that is *sometimes* marketed as YA is Mistborn. None of the others have ever been marketed by their publishers and/or authors as YA. Just because you want it to be true doesn’t mean it is.
