DeleteI think there is definately going to be an uptrend in harder Sci-Fi and deceptively heavy contemporary (the kind where you think that it's going to be a cute love story and you end up being completely emotionally wrung out by the end) Personally, I want to see more main characters that are not inherently "good" and altruistic. It annoys me becuase nobody in real life is willing to go through what so many YA MCs go through for somebody else and NOBODY consistantly makes the right choices like they do.
ReplyDeleteOh! And I am kathleenelizabeth@live.com!
ReplyDeleteMore zombie novels! And even more mystery YA novels!

MORE ZOMBIES!!!!!! I just LOVE zombie novels.
ReplyDeleteAlso I would love to see more contemporary novels that are less focused on love and more focused on LIFE. :)

I think the "era of dystopia" is slowly coming to an end for YA trends. There seems to be an upshot right now of mermaid/siren/selkie tales right now, but I'm hoping that a scifi or horror YA trend takes off.

If I look into the crystal ball, I like to forsee more fairytales and retellings in the future. I think it's important to keep them popular, since they have everything you need in a story. A brave hero, a nice heroin, some action and drama, romance and in the end: always a happy ending :) It's a nice escape from the reality sometimes! But I hope that it's not a real instalove and a lot of authors are doing a good job! Like A.C Gaughen with Scarlet :D

I think (or maybe hope) sometime really soon we're going to get the next BIG thing, and I have no clue what it is. Everything has this feeling of blah laid over it - I enjoy it while reading, but when I finish I start to realize it's the same as I've read before - and I think soon, somebody is going to come up with something completely new we've never seen before. I'd love to see some satire there, and a breaking away from the strictly Paranormal/PNR trend. So here's to the next Harry Potter/Hunger Games/Twilight level big thing, to start up the new trend!
