If
you’re like me, then you’re an adult who loves young adult fiction. Here are 10
signs that you may be reading a little too much YA. If you’re experiencing any
of these symptoms, put down the YA book and back away slowly.
10 Signs That You Read Too Much Young Adult Fiction
1. You’ve taken up archery and sword
fighting. When a
dystopian government seizes control of the world, you’ll be ready.
2. You’re waiting for someone to tell you
about your magical ability.
You seem like a normal person on the outside, but you must really be a witch,
right? Or a demon hunter? Or maybe a werewolf? A fairy?
3. You’re pretty sure that you’re the
Chosen One. There must
be a prophecy about you somewhere. The world needs saving, and you're the only person who can save it.
4. You have so many problems. But you know that they’ll all go away
once you find the right boyfriend. He’ll save you, and his love will fix
everything.
5. You’re hiding a deep, dark secret. You know that your life would be less angsty if you told someone your secret, but you just can't tell anyone, even though the secret is totally ruining everything. Also, all of your friends are hiding deep, dark secrets of their own.
6. You’re confused about why your
sixteenth birthday wasn’t awesome.
Isn’t everything supposed to change when you turn sixteen? Weren’t your parents
supposed to give you a car? Wasn’t there supposed to be a giant house party
where you got drunk, fell in love, and lost your virginity?
7. You’re confused about why prom wasn’t
awesome. Weren’t you
supposed to get drunk, fall in love, and lose your virginity?
8. You’re completely prepared to take a
surprise cross-country road trip.
It’s inevitable that you and your best friends will have to take an unexpected
drive across the country. You may come close to dying in a car accident along
the way, but you’ll learn so many life lessons that it’ll be worth it.
9. You fell in love, instantly. You just walked into a room one day, saw
a boy standing there, and BAM! You’re in love.
10. . . . but, you’re still waiting for the other
guy. You want to marry
your boyfriend, but where’s the sexy stranger who’s supposed to complete your
love triangle?
I'm an adult who loves reading YA! These signs are hilarious and on point for sure! Haha, taking up archery is something I've wanted to do for years now. Once I do, I will only respond to the name Katniss. LOL.
ReplyDeleteSuper funny! Especially #8. I love road trip books but it ridiculous how prepared they are for it on no notice. Great list!
ReplyDeleteHaha.. yes! Honestly, I've always wanted to learn sword-fighting and archery before a certain someone became so popular :P
ReplyDeleteIs it bad that a lot of these relate to me? Ahah what a hilarious post :'D
ReplyDeleteOh and I'm a new follower!
Haha this list is too cute! Love it.
ReplyDeleteHaha this is a funny list! The last two in particular are hilarious, forever waiting for that love triangle!
ReplyDeleteGreat post :)

I love this. I may have wanted to take archery lessons after reading The Hunger Games. :P

Ahaha you had me cracking up at this! All the YA tropes in one wonderful post. I do love my YA but yes, we do have our over done topics as well <3 I am pretty sure I am waiting for my magic ability to be told to me as well.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, I loved this! It's scary accurate. Number 1 is actually very true for me...ever since I've began to read, I felt the need to at least know how to hold a sword and shoot an arrow. And thus I signed myself up for fencing and archery, and I've gotten some weird looks since I've never shown interest in it until now. But like you said, when a dystopian government takes over, I'll be ready!

I LOVE this post!! 4,8,9 and 10 are my favorites!
ReplyDeleteNicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction
Number three is hilarious! :D I'm an adult and read YA at times. These points are spot on. Number 9 is just too funny (and too true) for words! Am I the only one whose mind flashed "Twilight" when I read that? Lol.
ReplyDeleteBwhahahha this is FABULOUS! I AM looking for the sexy stranger. He is supposed to pop into my life any minute now, right? RIGHT?
ReplyDeleteMeh, it's cool, I will just save the world with my bow and arrow. Let's see him not find me after THAT!
This is seriously SO fun, and I may think these things on a regular basis ;)
