Who's reading young adult anyway?

I have long wondered what the young adult readership demographic looks like, whether YA books are read more by teens or adults. Apparently, I am not alone in musing about that topic! Goodreads has put together an awesome analysis (with charts!) showing the ages of their members who have marked certain YA books as "read."

    I absolutely LOVE YA! It's all I read (besides MG for the kids and research for my MS) :D

    I am as old as dirt and I like YA much better than the books I am "supposed" to be reading :) I feel like YA stories are purer in a sense. The story is clean and crisp. All the junk they put into books for "my age" is refreshingly missing.

    You have a pure story in "Between" and I personally cannot wait to buy the book!

    I'm way past my teens and I much prefer YA books.
