YA books are not only for the young, friends. Not by a long shot. I know a ton of older people who devour these books.
In fact, I’ve kept reading them myself, as I’ve gotten older.
YA books are extremely popular and here are some funny tweets that really get to the specifics and the quirks about the genre.
If you’re a YA fan, you’ll appreciate these tweets.
1. Just do it!
(pitching story idea to a YA book agent)
Me: ok so we have our main heroine
YA book agent: kill her parents
Me: why
YA book agent: just do it

3. She’s had enough of that.
I have abandoned several YA books on this vacation because once again the female lead “didn’t think she was anything special until a beautiful boy paid attention to her.”

4. Living that forest life.
I’ve never met a boy who smells like pine??? Where do YA book characters find these boys??? Are they actually just trees???

5. You did what you had to do.
Hi I'm a full grown adult and I'm not sure how to tell people that the reason I have a fat lip is because I was sprinting upstairs at night so the monsters wouldn't get me and I tripped on a dog toy and opted to protect the YA fantasy book I was holding instead of my face.

6. Dark, but accurate.
me:
YA books in 2013: everyone in my society is put into distinct quadrants once we reach the age of 16. ever since the unnamed disaster that caused our dystopian government to be instated, there are rules on how we act, what we wear, & where we live. but i will break these rules— trish (@ULTRAGLOSS) March 22, 2019
7. Not very impressed.

10. That seems a little extreme.
If someone says "why don't you read real books instead of YA?" you are allowed to sacrifice them to the swamp witch and buy another YA book.

11. Sums it up.

12. Always meddling, aren’t they?
YA protagonist: ah, an evil force!
Mentor character: *long monologue about the dangers off the supernatural, respecting the balance, actually makes a lot of sense, etc*
Mentor: Promise me you will NEVER MEDDLE!
YA protagonist: I promise!
Mentor: *leaves*

13. Or the gardeners?
Why does YA fantasy hate soft characters. Why’s everyone an assassin. Where are the chefs

14. They sure are angsty…
YA protagonist:
you like
my hair
gee thanks
I just just chopped it all off myself in a moment of angst— Michael (@mike_booklion) January 20, 2019
15. Over that stuff 100%.
why are people so judgemental about adults enjoying YA books though like sorry I don’t want to read about Susans office romance
