Before summer ends, I'd like to read a few books from the developing, semi-controversial "new adult" category. Bring on the recommendations!

I frequently remind myself of these great words of wisdom when I need to give myself permission to stop reading a book I'm not enjoying: "The point is, reading should be pure pleasure. You haven't failed the author by not enjoying the book. Instead, the author has, at that moment in your life, failed you. That doesn't meant that in six days, or six months, or six years, or sixty years, you won't go back to the book and find that you love it. All it means is that at that particular moment in your life, you were looking for a different sort of book."I've read Book Lust and More Book Lust twice so far. It surprised me how many books I found the second time through that I'd passed over on my first reading. It's all a matter of taste, but I've found more books from Book Lust that were to my liking than from More Book Lust.
