This could be from any age really. I remember reading lots of books like Harry Potter as a 4th grader to seem smart to the teachers looking at me but I didn’t understand any of it. When the big YA dystopian boom was happening, I read tons of terrible YA dystopias to seem cool but many of them frustrated me.
I read tons of YA-Books. I started in the paranormal YA era with Twilight and got on to dystopian YA. Now i read lots of fantasy, smut and YA. But if some non-reader ask me what my favorite book is, i answer: Frankenstein or Pride and Prejeduce (Two books i can really recommend) just because i dont want to explain why i like that book with the cute murderer who can wield shadows.
