If You Like This Young Adult Book, You Might Like This Adult Book – Times 7

Initially for today I had noted down to do the topic of new adult fantasy. New adult as in the target group. However I am not quite liking how that post is turning out so instead I am doing something I have had noted down in my notebook for a while.

I think I’ve only ever done an if you like this…you’ll like that for top ten tuesday before. I think these always kind of spooked me. What if people don’t agree with me. But hey, this is based on my own insights of what I have read of these books and what they made me think about. I think that is always important to remember when going into these lists.

Some books can just remind you of another book and there is nothing wrong with that. Sometimes we look for books that are similiar to books that you really liked before. Or sometimes we are just in the mind for certain type of books. I know I have that very strong sometimes.

So here we have 7 young adult books and 7 adult books I think you might like if you liked those young adult books. Some of these might be obvious but I thought I’d put them out there anyway haha.

Why
Both deal with something that seems to be a playful game but has so much more behind it. Both have people behind the players that manipulate the game.

Why
Heists! Clever leaders. Both have an amazing band of characters that form lasting relationships.

Why
Demons. Both have demons in very different ways. And both demons are fairly self-centered, sarcastic and witty things.

Why
Both have a sentient item that interacts with the main character.

Why
Both use a different kind of format of telling the stories and are of the sci-fi genre.

Why
The writing style of Fairyland reminded me of Discworld right away. And there is something magical and whimsical about Fairyland that also right away reminded me of Discworld.

Why
They have a similar, intricate writing style and way to build the plot that makes the story lines come together in the end. The feel of the books was somewhat similiar with an air of mystery. Also both are historical fiction.

Have you read any of these books?
