More than half of young-adult fiction bought by over-17s Posted: 19 Sep 2012 01:31 AM PDT 'The Hunger Games' accounted for 30 per cent of current YA reading in a new survey. – All rights reserved/Scholastic Press LOS ANGELES, Sept 19 – Most young-adult (YA) fiction in the US is being bought by those 18 and over, says a new study, with The Hunger Games top of the pile and those adult readers hot on social networks and friend recommendations. In fact, those aged between 30 and 44 account for 28 per cent of purchases in the YA category, and 4 out of 5 times they're buying for themselves rather than for kids. Bowker Market Research came up with the findings as part of its report Understanding the Children's Book Consumer in the Digital Age, quizzing US residents about their book-buying habits. Of the works in question, The Hunger Games won out, accounting for 30 per cent of current YA reading, giving it a vast lead in a sea of the 220-plus titles named. So much so that Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows and Breaking Dawn were the only others to accrue more than a 5 per cent share. And while traditional reading groups might be deemed of "no interest" to more than half of the YA sector's adult consumers, the very same group identified themselves as big social network users and open to word-of-mouth recommendations. Over 40 per cent read e-books, the same top-level adoption rate seen among readers of adult mystery and romance, while 71 per cent are willing to go back to print where an e-book version isn't on the market. – AFP/Relaxnews
