I thought otherwise I could ramble on and on, and I wanted it to be easy for readers to see what I thought and respond. <br /><br />I read Just One Day. It was really borderline for me as far as acceptably clean. I did like it, but I didn't recommend it unless none of that stuff bothered readers.<br /><br />So maybe a book is NA if the characters are already graduated and in college? I still don't know. <br /><br />Maybe I won't read Beautiful Disaster. Thanks for letting me know and for stopping by, Christina!Tressa @ Wishful Endingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13526748955941114672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5874758882938332051.post-55484278941709717622013-04-02T12:40:37.814-07:002013-04-02T12:40:37.814-07:00I love how you came up with those questions! Your ...I love how you came up with those questions! Your post is so much more focused than mine.<br /><br />"Plus there are YA books that include older teens and college-age kids. Are those now absorbed in the NA genre? I don't know how that works."<br /><br />True. I've referred to Just One Day as NA, though it's been published as YA. (I would recommend that one based on what you've said!)<br /><br />"I have already have an ebook of Beautiful Disaster, but haven't read it yet. I have heard good things about it. I will have to read it and see what I think."<br /><br />^--- Really??? I have not heard the best of things and if you're looking for a clean book, I don't think you'll find it there.Christina Reads YAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14937783114868207494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5874758882938332051.post-7205290852450844582013-03-26T13:29:26.351-07:002013-03-26T13:29:26.351-07:00Thanks, Eva!

I will try the ones you suggested.<br /><br />So, you didn't like Beautiful Disaster? I've heard good things about it. That's the things with books - sometimes you never know since we are all so different, which is a good thing. I agree that there are bad books from every genre.<br /><br />It's probably more of that it may not be the genre for me, which is fine. I normally don't read that much Adult Fiction either for the same reason.Tressa @ Wishful Endingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13526748955941114672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5874758882938332051.post-40263149687909848062013-03-26T10:00:25.319-07:002013-03-26T10:00:25.319-07:00I personally love NA -- it is not that different f...I personally love NA -- it is not that different from YA but there is something authentic about it when you read a good book from the genre. <br /><br />My favorites are Hopeless, Slammed/Point of Retreat, Charade, Flat-Out Love, Easy, and Wait For You<br /><br />There are definitely bad books from the genre as well -- Avoiding Commitment, Beautiful Disaster, The Secret of Ella and Micha but there are obviously bad books from every genreEva @ All Books Consideredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04463453822150052462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5874758882938332051.post-52442383505967711032013-03-23T15:53:40.511-07:002013-03-23T15:53:40.511-07:00I'm trying to do that.

The ones I read seemed to basically be romance novels -- which I do enjoy from time to time-- and be a little similar in structure: good girl, bad boy, etc. etc. But I found a few at a used book sale so I'm going to keep an open mind and give a few more a try.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04756695137600895936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5874758882938332051.post-18417591196412038432013-03-23T12:49:40.829-07:002013-03-23T12:49:40.829-07:00I agree.

But alot of them to me would just be normal romance books. So its confusing as to what all qualifies it as 'new adult'.VampedChikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10620180306733385131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5874758882938332051.post-50770892705572180512013-03-23T10:00:36.551-07:002013-03-23T10:00:36.551-07:00I'm hoping that maybe if it's not contempo...I'm hoping that maybe if it's not contemporary romance, such as fantasy, dystopian, or sci-fi, it might be cleaner. Although, I don't know if it's worth trying out. There are so many other good books and I have limited time, so I hate to invest it in something that won't work out. I will try the ones I have heard good things about that are already on my tbr and then I'll just have to see if I'll continue doing that. I've never completely disgarded a genre (I may read a book once in a while from Adult or another genre), so I don't see me doing that here.Tressa @ Wishful Endingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13526748955941114672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5874758882938332051.post-34390077302794291332013-03-23T09:05:15.397-07:002013-03-23T09:05:15.397-07:00I love your answers to these questions because the...I love your answers to these questions because they are exactly what I would have said. <br /><br />Personally, I haven't been a fan of any of the NA books I've read. I've only read a couple of them, but there was too much sex and bad language and so I quit before I got very far into the book.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07242093737449452993noreply@blogger.com
