Many publishers hope their popularity will have a ripple effect, luring adults into other activities that are, like colouring, traditionally associated with children. Here are some books to get more hands on:

I got into these by accident. I had read the Twilight series and was on a Vampire kick and I stumbled upon these. There more aimed towards the young adult/early 20's reader but definately a good book to read if you're looking for more vampire! :) I loved them!

Very influential

Honestly I loved reading this book. I believe every teenage or young adult females should read it, especially those going though a difficult time in life. It's very insightful on Lily Collins life and eye opening on extreme real life issues that many people experience.

Science Fiction

A new author and new twist on the hidden world of knights and the super natural in the modern world. It held my attention as I read and wanted to know what happens next. The first book on the series. Not intended for young readers. Adult situations and language.

A Book For All Ages

This was one of my favourite books as a child and I still enjoy reading it from time to time as an adult.

The story of Mary Lennox leaving India to come to England is a heartwarming and magical story of her complete transformation.
