Oh, and Gabrielle Zevin. She has several books out now. I think the concepts of her novels (she has a particular focus on the brain and memory) are intriguing to adults and teens. Have you read either of them?<br />Oh, and I just thought of Wendelin Van Draanen, author of Flipped. I chuckled while reading that one because it's a coming of age story about love and friendship.<br />-Jenna @ Fans of FictionJenna and Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00952637818862079014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7440155126902938632.post-43042604599484755002011-10-13T20:27:59.365-07:002011-10-13T20:27:59.365-07:00I actually don't really enjoy Kelley Armstrong...I actually don't really enjoy Kelley Armstrong's adult novels, but I love her teen books. I like her voice better there, and her writing. <br /><br />Jennifer Estep made a fantastic transition from adult UF to Teen with her Mythos Academy series. They're awesome. Juliet Marillier wrote the Sevenwaters books and then wrote Wildwood Dancing for teens--which I love. There are a lot of authors making the transition now. I haven't read it yet, but Lisa McMann just published her first MG, The Unwanteds. I loved Cryer's Cross, so I'm eager to try it. <br /><a href="http://www.rubysreads.com/" rel="nofollow">Ruby</a>Rubitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14929614007516530129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7440155126902938632.post-33904272369956438882011-10-13T10:27:48.625-07:002011-10-13T10:27:48.625-07:00I've only read a couple of these authors, but ...I've only read a couple of these authors, but I completely agree with you!Bookish Brunettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04753627136675666788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7440155126902938632.post-52799437838920013472011-10-13T06:11:51.595-07:002011-10-13T06:11:51.595-07:00Oh I totally agree with this post!! It's alway...Oh I totally agree with this post!! It's always impressive when an author can successfully write for multiple age groups and produce these absolutely stunning novels. I'm really excited to read Liesel and Po and I rarely read MG these days. But it's Lauren Oliver and it sounds brilliant. Haven't read Suzanne Collins' MG ones either. But since I LOVE THG, I'm definitely willing to check them out.<br /><br />I know Richelle Mead has two adult series in addition to VA. I haven't read them though, so no idea how they compare to her YA. But she has a lot of fans... might have to check them out some day.Brodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16389909407256668662noreply@blogger.com
