The Forbidden Topic.... Adult Novels

So I have a policy that labels a big no to adult novels because I am in love with the Young Adult genre and that is where my passion grows. But I do enjoy an occasion read from adult novels. So I decided to open up what adult novels I've enjoyed to help out those who are interested in branching out.

I have a list of adult novels that I highly recommend for those who also, venture between the line of adult novels and young adult. Trust me, I still love young adult, but I'm having a growing interest towards adult novels.

The House of the Spirits by Isabel Allende
This is a beautiful book that portrays such vibrant and colorful characters. Allende truly captures the essence of magical realism and beautifully toys with literature elements. Her usage of foreshadowing is chilling and with such ingenious ways. Her novel is loaded with hidden literary meanings. Her characters are very three-dimensional and wonderfully portrays the thoughts and roles of women. I highly recommend this to many people who want to pick up a beautiful and ingenious novel.

A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini
A Thousand Splendid Suns is such a powerful and heart-wrenching novel. This novel holds a strong hold on the reader and drags them into the novel. You become emotionally-attached to the novel and develop a bond with it. The characters are two strong, independent women and their journey will personally move you. This novel is the type of novel that makes you think twice and re-examine the world and social norms.

The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck
This is another powerful book that explores the characters and the time period. It takes place in China and develops such three-dimensional characters that allow easy attachment. It reveals classic human nature and makes the reader re-examine normal concepts that are easily accepted.

I Am Malala by Malala Yousafzai

A biography of a wonderful woman, Malala who shows courage and strength where most people lack. She is so admirable and reading about her life story adds such depth and even more courage to her. This novel reveals more about her and causes you to admire her. Her story is so wonderful and deserves to be read by everyone.

Yes Please by Amy Poehler

Ms. Poehler is absolutely hilarious and carries so much wit that it makes reading her novel a joy. She's very funny and she carries it into the words, making the reader crack up numerous times as they read the novel. While her novel has humor, she gives valuable advise that everybody needs to know. This book is a must to those who need a pick-me-up because it can lift anyone's spirits.

Did you guys like that I posted a post on adult novels even though I have a big no-no on that concept originally? But I think I'm opening up to adult novels and if you guys have suggestions, please comment below because I'm always looking for a great one to read.
