We're back with Season Two of the podcast and starting off with one of our favorite topics; young adult fiction. It's a hugely successful category of literature, and we would argue one of the most lucrative markets right now. From such sensations as Twilight, Hunger Games, and Divergent, readers can't deny the impact that young adult has on in the reading world. But is young adult even that good? Why do readers of all ages get so caught up in it? And what's up with all those trilogies? Your librarians are here to discuss it all in this episode!
