Getting older is part of the human experience. And as we age, it’s natural for our interests to evolve. But there’s a trend amongst older readers to shy away from certain books because they’re older than the ‘target audience.”

This week on the HBC POD we’re talking about Young Adult fiction and the ways older readers sell the genre short. Whether you’re young or young at heart it’s a lively conversation worth a listen!
