Twenty-Something
So lady_sarai and I were talking earlier about some of our beloved teens' books, and I had a thought.
Are there any books for us twenty-somethings?
I can read books about sixteen year olds, and about forty year olds - not a problem. But there seems to be a lack of books written about the 18-25 age group. That, or I just haven't found those books. The books I have found that involved kids my age were mostly beach reads, like Grecian Holiday and Spanish Holiday.
I dunno, I would just like to read about someone in that age gap for once. Someone who is in college, just out of college, or was never in college - either way, trying to find their place. Or just something unrelated, but with people who are closer to my age and easier to relate to.
Just some thoughts. :) I would love to read a Sisterhood of the Travelng Pants type book or a Ya Ya Sisterhood type book - with characters someone my age can more easily relate to.

I've got a couple of suggestions too *grins*
Queen Kat, Carmel and St Jude Get a Life (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/014028124X/002-7413568-2725658?v=glance&n=283155) by Maureen McCarthy for the not fantasy element, and if you do like the fantasy stuff, or Fiona MacIntosh's The Quickening Trilogy (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0060747560/sr=1-3/qid=1155526199/ref=pd_bbs_3/002-7413568-2725658?ie=UTF8&s=books) might be worth a look too. Starts off with the main protagonist at fourteen, but quickly moves to him reaching young adulthood. Great series with some good twists.
