What is happening to the Young Adult Genre?

I noticed something when I made my Series I Will NOT FINISH post and I've been meaning to write about it, now, here it is!

So, as you already know, I'm an avid YA reader. I LOVE Young Adult books. If you think children's books are too childish and adult books are too adult-y for you, then YA is the middle line. It's the perfect balance (For, the record, I love both children's and adult books, still, I'm just pointing out a fact :D)

Twilight ex Machina! 

 
Day by day, I see increase in the people who've read Twilight or a book similar to it and loved it, so they are pick up their laptop to write a YA "book". Of course, I'm not saying all YA authors do it, but those who do outweigh those who don't.
It makes me so mad cause many YA books that are actually better in so many ways get pushed to the back because of ones like these.

I don't think Twilight is a great piece of literature. I would compare Twilight to  M. Night Shyamalan's The Happening. You see that movie and you immediately know even the actors who worked in it knew it wasn't making sense, but they just rolled with it and were like "Let's just get this over with *sigh*"..At a point in the movie I laughed when people were dying left and right (a few by a lawnmower...um..yeah..) The  movie is so horrible that it's epically Hilarious (It's still better than Twilight though..By a Lot).
 
Twilight is a guilty pleasure series. Period. I love the movie Supernova, it's one of my guilty pleasures, but if anyone said that movie sucked I would probably agree..because it does suck on a cinematic scale..

The Taytay Book Tag

Hey Folks! I have yet another Tag for you guys today! It's the Taylor Swift Book Tag! I saw this tag all over the internet a while back and have been meaning to do it, but I eventually forgot. Then, Blank Space reminded me and now, I'm gonna do it! 

I know I still gotta review the Feed by Mira Grant. I'm still reading it. With the cold and the humongous length of the book, let's just say my laziness is stretching high *wincing*. I swear, I'll finish it soon.... Hopefully *sigh*

But, now, it's time for The Taytay Tag. 

I got this tag from Books and Cleverness. You can check hers out here.

The Christmas Song Book Tag

I saw this tag on 'round The Flames blog. You can check it out here. In this tag, titles of popular Christmas songs are taken and a question is made out of each one.

So, here goes!

1. "You're a Mean One Mr. Grinch" - Name a villainous character you couldn't help but love to hate.
President Snow from The Hunger Games Trilogy. An old guy who kills children to further his political agendas and seems to enjoy it? Hell Yeah! He's so methodical in what he does and he's extremely good at psychologically manipulating someone to get what he wants. Maybe it's because I really like the actor playing Snow in the movies. But, looking like Santa and Papa Smurf combined he is a hell lot evil and I find his character really interesting.
