Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I am 48 and have got a collection of young adult books that I am reading and have read!. I don't care what section they are from as long as its a good read! I hate soppy romances in the adult sections which there seem to be loads and I also don't like the true life abuse type books that there seems to be a glut of too!.

It's fine for a 30 year old to reach books which are designated young adult!. Afterall, the very people writing these are usually *over* 30!.

It shouldn't be all the person reads, but there's nothing wrong with them picking up a young adult novel and giving it a go!.

I'm 25 and just finished rereading the Narnia collection :PWww@QuestionHome@Com

I think a 30 year old IS a young adult!. Not like the under 18s of course, but there is nothing wrong with you reading a book from that section!. I'm 29 and I love reading Harry Potter and my wife's Twilight!. I will not admit this in public, mind you!!!!!

Just enjoy!.

I'm 21 and I read a few young adult novels!. Then if I think they're good I have my mom read them!. And she's 53!. I especially loved the Gemma Doyle Trilogy by Libba Bray!. Great series!!!

So, it's perfectly fine for you to read whatever appeals to you!. Good luck reading!Www@QuestionHome@Com

There really isn't anything odd about an adult reading young adult books!. Many of us do!. All the suggested age does is indicate that they were written with young adults in mind, and the content is suitable for them!. That's it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Avid readers enjoy books of all ranges!. We just care about the storyline, doesn't matter what some publisher classifies it!. Look at the Harry Potter series!. And I admit to being over 50Www@QuestionHome@Com
