I finished Pack Challenge by Shelly Laurenston this afternoon. I feel like every year I go through a small cringe worthy phase were I can't help but read weird werewolf books. The MC is 28 so I'm going to use it here.

Just finished reading Painting on the Pond by Sharon Lewis Koho. All of the main characters are in their 20's. A romance with a "ghost" story, it's kind of sugary sweet. Cedar Fort, the publisher, is an independent LDS publisher.
Well I’m currently reading Thomas Hardy’s “The Trumpet-Major” right now. This was one of Hardy, the famous Victorian-era writer of tragedies that calls out the oppressiveness of Victorian class consciousness and social mores, lesser known novels, it is no less entertaining. This can be termed as a “romantic comedy/historical fiction” set during the Napoleonic Wars of the early 1800’s, so the genre, the time period and the topic he was writing about was vastly different. 2 out of the 3 main characters, Anne Garland and Robert Loveday, are in their 20’s. They form part of a love triangle that also involves Robert’s older brother, John the Trumpet-Major.
I'll have to decide between two novels as to which I'm counting for this prompt; Emma The titular Emma is 21 from the start of the novel or The Deal Both leads are 20/21, super fun New Adult romance with lots of great banter
I just read Marrying Mozart for this. He's 21 when the book starts. A truly fantastic and true story!
Surpassing Certainty: What My Twenties Taught Me by Janet Mock. She has a lovely writing style; I felt like I was in Hawaii ( minus the humidity), Rhode Island and NYC with her. Her observations on intersectionality of race, gender and class are really well-thought out and so poised. Wonderful book to celebrate Pride Month and to deconstruct racism. Solid 5 stars.
I recently read Wasteland by Terry Tyler, a dystopian fiction set in the UK, and the main character Rae is 24.
I read Oathbringer by Brandon Sanderson for this one. Several of the main characters in the series are in their twenties.
I just read Call the Midwife (book 3), and it says "22 year old Jennifer Worth went to work as a midwife", so the trilogy will totally count towards this challenge.
