I find books that are about the later quite boring actually and feel very detached from the plot.

SO. WEIRD. I think with MG-- I enjoy her books, but they're really sort of...like...funnel cake! They're sweet and fun to read and somewhat relaxing, but they aren't really filling and afterwards you're like "wtf did I eat that much funnel cake for." For example. :D It’s such a weird feeling, because I don’t even care about those thing when I’m talking to my friends/family, but I’ll totally read 200+ pages about some dude who just sits around watching soccer games.

I remember being amazed that he understood so clearly how people go about going into their house. I never looked at my keys the same way again! I am a bit iffy about reading Meg Cabot - be it her YA or adult books. None of them sound all that interesting... yeah, I don't see her on my TBR list any time soon.
