>>28 YA is usually fun in a pulpish kinda way. One of the reasons I still go back and read the old Tarzan, and conan the barbarian books is I started as a child on such fare. As I recall my favorites were the chronicles of Narnia, Frank perettis stuff, watership down, and the redwall series. Pic related is the first of frank perettis books. I think he finds a door to hell in the amazon but its been a very long time.

Don't mind me necrobumping the oldest thread in the catalog, I just know the YA genre is full of modern drama and somehow still alive despite being incredibly over saturated by a good couple decades. More on topic, I really enjoyed A Series of Unfortunate Events when I was younger because of both its art and dark sense of humor. Never did finish the series though since my brother was the one who had all the books and never let me borrow them. Same thing with the Harry Potter series, though in retrospect I'm glad I didn't get very invested in that. There was some other series I remember reading about some kids being hunted by vampires that took place in the 1800s but that's pretty much all I remember about it (this was a few years before the Twilight craze).

>>585 Doesnt ring a bell but after Anne Rice,s early 90s books the vampire genre was well and truly alive pre twilight. So it could be anything including Anne rices vampire chronicles. hmm. Now I gotta go look into it. Curiousity is a bitch.

>>586 The weirdest thing is I remember holding onto them (it was either a series of three our four books) but I can't seem to find them anywhere now.

>>588 Hmmm. Well hopefully I find an answer tonight and can post em sometime this extended weekend. Hope springs eternal anon.

https://libraryinthetower.wordpress.com/2020/10/10/blast-from-the-past-vampire-ya-books-from-the-90s/ This has a handful. Any of these perhaps? I notice most are part 1 of a series. They all seem set in present day tho... Perhaps the 1800s bits are flashbacks?

>>592 Hmm, nah, doesn't look like any are a match. I distinctly remember it taking place back in that time. The story was about two boys and a girl I think? In one of the books one of the kids gets sick on a ship and the other one gives him ginger to help with his seasickness, and now that I'm thinking about it the story led them to Mexico or some Spanish colony where they trekked through the jungle with some explorer guy. That all sounds very generic I know but I'm sure I'll recognize it once I find it.

>>585 Presented without comment. >mobi not allowed Dammit codexx. Fine lets use the inferior epub version.

>>598 Neat, thanks! I might actually get around to finishing the series now.

Hello, fellows, mates, fuckers or whatever you are. I'm from hispanics zones of this chan, and we have a question, why overnight >>/lit/ became one of the leading in the principals boards? Is a circlejerk? We are curious for that, nothing else, is good for 8chan a board dedicate to read and books.

>>616 Because it was there.

>>626 It's enough to me.

>>616 Someone in one of the GG threads on /v/ mentioned /lit/ not having a lot of activity and as a result I made like 10 posts the other day to help boost activity on the board because I like books and would like to see /lit/ become a top board again. I'm not really sure how the top boards list is calculated but it seems like whenever a board (even one with only a few hundred posts) gets a lot more posts than average in a short span of time, it gets featured.

>>595 >>592 Oh shit, I remembered it! It was the Vampire Plagues series, I distinctly remember having these three books because they were these colors and looked really similar. One of the few things I remember is they made a distinction between a Vampire and a Lampir (or maybe it was Vampir?) (like a slave, or just someone who's fallen under the control of an actual Vampire) and a quick google search later led me to these through images. Fun read, but pretty run of the mill young adult stuff. Judging by the Wikipedia page apparently there was another trilogy published, but I don't know how much it has to do with the original one.

>>630 Oh shit nice, anon! Man those are hard to find digitally. You may have to check amazon sadly.
