I hate Fifty Shades of Grey as well, although, I do give it props for making BDSM so popular.

V...Oh, Benish, what a GREAT idea for a book meme!! Very original concept!<br /><br />I've heard a lot about the New Adult genre, but have not read any books from it yet. However, when I have sampled some NA books on Amazon, I've noticed that they contain quite a bit of profanity, and I don't like that at all. This is why I prefer to read YA. But I don't see the point of calling these books "New Adult". I thought they would be somewhere between YA and regular adult books, but they're obviously not! <br /><br />Anyway.....I completely agree with you -- "Beautiful Disaster" does NOT sound appealing at all. I, too, dislike reading about violence directed at women, and women tolerating it. (Of course, I HATE the "Fifty Shades of Grey" series, which I REFUSE to read.)<br /><br />So I would go with "Maybe Not", as well. Thanks for your GREAT thoughts!! : )Maria Beharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13635809880830316283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3433746510084776903.post-80541135029047720752014-12-15T05:51:37.397-05:002014-12-15T05:51:37.397-05:00Aw, thank you for the nomination.

Colleen Hoover is amazing <3 Her personal story is inspiring too, how she went from having nothing to almost everything. Her personality reminds me a bit of J.K Rowling. Both so humble :)Beenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17718861012681693010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3433746510084776903.post-82698456936690860362014-12-11T23:30:30.247-05:002014-12-11T23:30:30.247-05:00Most NA books are disastrous, the most explicit sc...Most NA books are disastrous, the most explicit scenes I can handle is two, if more than that than it becomes an erotic novel.<br /><br />Colleen Hoover is a great NA author! She probably has less graphic scenes in her novel with the exception of Maybe Not.

I must say, though, Colleen Hoover is one of my absolute favorite NA writers. So far, every book that I have read by her (every one by her that is out) I have enjoyed and/or loved! She really can capture emotions so well!

I do intend to read a Colleen Hoover book though, because I have heard so many amazing things about them!
