Adult Books for Teen Readers
It has been a few months since I’ve featured adult books that might be of interest to teen readers who are either looking to dip a toe into the adult collections or who have been reading adult fiction or non-fiction for quite some time. Some of these will be more appropriate for mature teen readers and some will be enjoyable for readers of many ages. What do you recommend?

Whenever I see The Maid by
Whenever I see The Maid by Kimberly Cutter, I wonder when I found the time to write and publish a book. And then I realize that isn't quite my name and I'm not actually famous. Alas...
Great list!
You know, Kimberly, I thought
You know, Kimberly, I thought the exact same thing! I even mistyped her name on more than one occasion due to the similarity of your names.
Thanks for reading!
