reading phases

[archersangel]

i was thinking that i've gone through many phases in my reading life. besides children's books; i went though a teen romance thing in my teens. around the same time, maybe a bit before, i was into the sweet valley series (the high school stuff & the kids ones) pre-teens was the babysitters club & something called the sleepover friends. i've gotten away from ghost stories, both fictional & real. currently i'm in a historical fiction phase, mostly the tudor era. as for mysteries and books of the sc-fi or fantasy kind, i seem to permantaly attached to those.

so my question is; have you noticed phases in your reading tastes? if so what are they?

I don't know why, but I didn't like YA fiction when I was the right age for it - I didn't start liking it until I was well into my twenties.

Right now, I'm reading historical fiction too, as well as re-reading a lot of childhood classics, like The Dark is Rising, Madeleine L'Engle, the Narnia Chronicles (except for The Last Battle. *shudders* Still can't deal with that book.)

I only found The Dark is Rising sequence about a year or two ago, and I'm just a few days shy of 32 right now. I fell in love with it and have reread them each several times since stumbling across them.

And I am Narnian at the core - have two sets of those books, and they're all well-loved (read:falling apart).

I only just read A Wrinkle In Time a few months ago, and was a little disappointed in it; I'm not sure what I expected, and may need to give it another chance.
