Even though the books I read now I think are better, I miss the culture of YA. I was lucky enough to be an early teenager at the height of the Harry Potter craze and right afterwards, so the buzz around various YA series was high. I'd go to midnight sales, book signings, actively anticipate upcoming books, share and talk about books with people at my school. I definitely enjoyed reading them more than now; I have to be conscious now, set aside time, whereas then it was natural.

Maybe I'm just nostalgic for that particular moment in my life. But I kind of feel sad that it's impossible to recapture it.
