I must admit... I still read YOUNG ADULT/JUVENILE books [Merged]

[Calypso]

I do! Actually, i have this grand collection of LOVE STORIES (I'm not so much of an SVU or SVH fan) and the two best books for me are:

HOT SUMMER NIGHTS
AT FIRST SIGHT

As for the now-retro Sweet Dreams Collection... I just love WRONG-WAY ROMANCE!!!! Whoooopeee!!

[BabyFATS]

Hey, ako rin! I actually read mostly young adult books - SVU, Crosswinds, Sweet Dreams, Christopher Pike, RL Stine, VC Andrews...

I hate those really thick romance novels...

[MsEerie]

I like reading young adult books. Not those Sweet Valley stuff though. I like Judy Blume, Sue Townsend, etc. Even some unknown who make those funny and weird young adult books. Aliw!

[Eterna]

guilty as charged here.
its nice to go back to those juvenille books once in a while.
my favorites are

The Question Box
Even Pretty Girls Cry at Night

[acridmouth]

ahihihi akow rin....

Actually, when I was in my highschool, I was a big fan of these books, from SVH to Fear Street. My favorites were those by Ellen Conford, Lurlene McDaniel and Cherie Bennett.

But since I'm going to college, I think I had enough of those

[acridmouth]

Yeah, I love Judy Blume too, MsEerie...especially her Tiger Eyes and Are You There God, It's Me, Margaret

[juve_grrrl10]

I like Judy Blume and Beverly Cleary. Gusto ko nga sana i-kumpleto yung mga libro nila.

[joeyboy76]

anyone still have

CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE books?

I'm trying to complete the whole set.

email me at jmcarmona@lycos.com if you are
willing to give/sell me your copies that I may not have.

Thanks!

[Kurama]

Guilty as well!

Some faves of mine are the Witches series (Melinda the White Witch) by Maragret Storey, a little bit of Enid Blyton and whoever did the Five Little Peppers stories.

Also...well, this is childish, but...I'm still tickled pink by Paddington Bear stories.

I've picked up the Harry Potter 1st volume and it's cute too. Though it doesn't really hold a candle to true fantasy novels.

[misanthrope]

I admit I still read books by Madeleine L'Engle (of A Wrinkle in Time fame) and the Harry Potter books. I heard that writers must first perfect their craft by writing adult novels before attempting to write books for children/the youth. Something about the young's ability and willingness to explore new worlds, etc. etc. and that they are very discriminate/discerning readers.

[lief_meisje83]

me too!

up to now i still read the unicorn club series, sweet valley twins and high...

[DELISYUS]

lolz......sis...i still keep some Sweet Dreams, Mills n Boon, and even Archie comic books....

at ngayon nga ang hanap ko....fairy tales...yung gory, darker versions....

eterna sayang, i lost my copy of that book....pati nga yung lighten up, jennifer eh....lolz...ngek, pinamigay ko nga pala yung collection ko when i graduated from high school....

[tinyet]

me too! at 21, I'm guilty your honor!

especially now that I can buy books from my own pocket. e before I would borrow pa books from classmates, would buy one or two editions pero not naman lagi. Kaya, as I've said, now that may means na ako, collect lang ako again!

[GirlNextDoor]

hihihihi...


ako din guilty...

i still read yung Love Stories na pocketbook?

[winterswirl]

[singollo]

ako din matanda na na nagbabasa pa ng young adult books. pero hindi yung mga sweet valley na yan. mga tipong chronicles at narnia at yung wrinkle in time series. pati yung the giver ni lois lowry.

mga influences sa akin ng magaling kong girlfriend

[harry potter]

i read the Hardy Boys to make myself sleepy. it's not really a book that keeps you on the edge of your seat (or else I won't feel sleepy) but its entertaining enough for me and does not require analysis or reading some sentences over and over again to get the meaning. it's just plain fun.

[angel_eyez]

yah, yah i must admit, i'm still into reading young adults / juvenile books!! hahaha. actually, i have pa nga a collection also of love stories, just like Calypso!

i jst can't take reading those really thick books. they make me dizzy. well, except for some REALLY INTERESTING & WORTHWHILE ones!!

[chryseis]

Yup, I still love to read young adult books. My favorites are:

Charlotte's Web- E.B. White
Number the Stars- Lois Lowry
The Watsons Go to Birmingham- Christopher Curtis
and of course, the Sweet Valley Junior High series But only until Jessica and the boy gets together. After that, the series kind of fell apart.

[ShaRRY~*]

*raises hand and waves it around* count me in!

i grew up with sweet valley. and i love judy blume. and the baby-sitters club! my present favorite is that fearless series by francine pascal.

any love stories book by elizabeth chandler is super kiiiliiig!!! especially "i do".
