Sorry, but I do enjoy reading about people my own age, thank you very much! I think the traditional industry is shooting itself in the foot, here - everyone knows the "Under 30" crowd is too busy texting to read anything with real words... For a reading audience, "Codgerville" is where it's at!

In my mind, there should be more books like Charlaine Harris's available for the 'new adult' and i don't necessarily mean supernatural/paranormal books, like you said books aimed at 18-30 age group! There is definitely a market there to be tapped. Great post, i may look into this more :)Emily Crosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01707967073095394090noreply@blogger.com
