I read a quite a few YA novels. I have a particular liking for the plucky boy/plucky girl type, although the high school angst type are entertaining from time to time.

I don't read books that would be classes romance on their own, although I have no problem with strong romantic subplots--things that would probably be classed as */Romance types where * = SF, Mystery, Historical. In other words I'll neither read nor avoid books based on a romance component as long as it's the type of thing I'd read otherwise.
