Well I like vampires/werewolfs/dragons...
Well, I like the Urban fantasy/paranormal romance books alot, and I appreciate what they do for the reading of 12-19 year olds. See, I work att a library (in Sweden) and our consern most of the time is how to get kids to read more. A few years ago it was Harry Potter that brought the kids, now its Twilight and followers...
As I said, I like them, read them and buy them for the library. Some of my collueges express that perhaps we should not buy so many "vampire" books, is it not enough to have say three such series? I say, what about all the crime books, should we stop buying new series there to because we already have several thousand crime books (and I think they all have more or less the same plot)? Of cause not, is always the answer to that.
Iīm in favor for letting everybody read what they enjoy, if you donīt like paranormal romance/urban fantasy, donīt read it!
However, at the library everyone should be able to find some of the books they enjoy.
