It was a very busy fall semester for me as I returned to full-time studies. Even so I was able to read quite a few books from October onwards and am finally finding the time to write about them. One thing I have confirmed is that reading teen fiction makes my life less stressful. I'm sure that soon I will read them and think "Their problems are so trivial," and put the book down never to finish it but for now I read them and think "Phew, I'm glad that's not me... must continue reading!" for their teenage woes amongst ridiculous scenarios always provide me with a chuckle or two. Of course I threw a few more "grown-up" books into the mix, I put grown-up in quotation marks because it's all relative, right? I mean some people may think a biography is a joke, not grown-up at all, but in comparison to my regular regime of teen fiction post-apocalyptic dystopias they seem pretty grown-up to me.
