Why Do You Read YA?

This article says that YA experiences are universal and timeless; people will be writing and reading YA books for a long time.

What do you think? Will you continue to read YA after you're out of the age group? Or is it dependent on the book, not the genre?

And for that matter, why do you read YA? Is it about the characters or the subject? Take the poll below!

Why do you read YA?

To relate to a teen character

Because I'm 16-25 years old

It's all about the author

I'm into a genre where the books are mainly YA

I'm an adult but I like to go back to those times

I'm just reading today's popular books

Hermione + ???

SPOILER ALERT!

JK Rowling announced this week that she made a mistake matching Hermione and Ron in the Harry Potter books. She claimed the pair was "wish fulfillment" and not giving either character what they truly deserved. Even Emma Watson agrees.

This leads us to question other relationship pairings in the books. Should Harry have ended up with Ginny? What about Neville and Hannah Abbott? James and Lily?!

But for now (fittingly, Valentine's Week), vote in this poll:

 

Who do you think Hermione should have married at the end of the Harry Potter books?
	Ron! Stick with the original canon!
	Harry! They were best friends for a reason.
	Krum! How cute was it that he called her "Hermy-own-ninny"?
	Cormac! She wasn't completely repulsed by him, right?
	Draco! It's obvious he was in love with her.
	Who cares?! She can do whatever she wants, including staying single, for Merlin's sake!
