I feel like I’m getting a bit old for some of my Young Adult books I find on the shelf and I want to start trying some adult books, but I don’t really know where to begin.
I feel like I’m getting a bit old for some of my Young Adult books I find on the shelf and I want to start trying some adult books, but I don’t really know where to begin.
In bookshops and libraries the adult section is always ten times bigger than the young adult section, so does anyone recommend any good authors that a teen might be interested in?
My favourite genres are romance, adventure and thriller, but I’m open to just about everything.

Yes of course we all do but don’t bookshops price themselves out of the market at prices that don’t make sense anymore? We saw a gem of a book yesterday in Waterstones (UK) cover priced at £20. So we went home and sourced the same book for £12.50 on Amazon, brand new, free delivery. So why don’t traditional bookstores discount all cover prices? I am sure sales would soar if books were not priced to scare people off …….. your thoughts please?

I’m English, but I speak and write Swedish. I would like to read Stieg Larsson and Jens Lapidus books in Swedish, but I live in England - those books are impossible to find in the bookshops (except translated, which I don’t want). So where can I buy them and have them sent to me?
Abebooks had only one of the three Stieg Larsson books. CDON only handles music (as the name implies). More suggestions please!
