any Young Adult books you’d like to recommend?
(I’ve read Harry Potter, the Hunger Games, Percy Jackson and Artemis Fowl series)
Both series by Sarah j Maas are excellent.
The dorthy must die series.
Everlife series.
Sarah is very popular, according to most comments here.. 🙂
@Jane her newest book just came out last week so everyone is very excited about her again haha
ok, I’ll try to get a copy.. thank you
Tiffany Aching series starting with The Wee Free Men by Sir Terry Pratchett
Terry intrigues me 🙂
He is an amazing author and taken from us far too soon ? if you enjoy those his other Discworld books might be of interest to your reading list and if you decide to give them a go start with Mort or Guards! Guards! Those are a few books into his Discworld series and shows off his writing and humour properly, I started with Mort and got hooked.
Susan Cooper’s Dark is Rising series… Probably just a tad younger than “young adult”, but still a damn good read.
Shatter me by Tahereh Mafi and arcana chronicles by Kresley Cole ❤️
Why not try mine? The N Days on Amazon
His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman
Try Lord of the rings, Ranger’s Apprentice series, Maximum Ride series, Raven boys series, I am number four series, books of Cassandra Clare, the Magesterium series, maze runner series, 13the reality series, infinity ring series.
I agree with both of SJM’s series, Vampire Academy, and Six of Crows, and also if you want a quick read i would suggest a Study in Charlotte ?
I’ve heard six of crows is better than the grisha series. Have you read that one too? I started the first book and I find it rather boring. I’m only a few chapters in though, but some say it’s better to read that before six of crows.
@Brittany omigosh for some reason I almost hated the Grisha Trilogy. I didn’t really like any of the characters, plot, or setting. However, I was completely hooked with Six of Crows. It’s the weirdest thing!! ? I haven’t read Crooked Kingdom yet, but I highly recommend it ?
@Sarah okay! I mean I already bought the first two in the grisha series so I might as well read them ? I’ve just been seeing a lot of hate on them and so far I’m bored haha. At least I know six of crows won’t be the same way.
@Brittany yeah I bought them as well. It’s not a terrible series; I personally just didn’t like it. ?
The falling kingdoms from Morgan Rhodes
Falling Kingdoms series
Or a cute dystopian the selection by Keira Cass
The His Dark Materials series by Philip Pullman, The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare, Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs, and the Books of Ember series by Jeanne DuPrau.
My students love the redwall series. I only had 1 our of 10 or 12 who did not like it.
I loved Redwall too! However, I don’t think that’s necessarily a YA series. I think it’s more of a middle grade ?
Harry Potter is a middle grades book too!
Cinder by Merissa Meyer. The Testing (can’t remember who wrote it ATM, but it is amazing.)
Twilight series
done 😀
thank you
Love those books I think I’ve read the series four times since 2009

Judy Blume. You may like her books. though she writes for a slightly younger audience.

We Were Liars
The Infernal Guard Trilogy by SGD Singh

It’s pretty similar to things like The Hunger Games and Divergent series. And no problem!
The Falconer series by Elizabeth May. The Great Hunt by Wendy Higgins. Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea by April Tucholke. Grave Mercy by Robin LaFevers.
wow.. never heard of these..

I often find a lot of underrated YA books that border on adult! Those are some of my favorite series. If you are ever in a dry spell and want some off the wall recommendations, I’m your girl!

To All the boys I’ve loved before by Jenny Han
Throne of Glass Series by Sarah J Maas
Shutter me ,, the vampire diaries ,, divergent
The lake house series was amazing!
*updates TBR list*
thanks
I liked the Pern novels: Dragonsinger, Dragonsong. etc. by Anne McCafferty. They are older, but are fantasy so it doesn’t matter.
it’s alright.. I’m 24 and also likes some old books
The Spooks series by Joseph Delaney or Immortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare
The Weetzie Bat Series by Francesca Lia Block
been searching for copies..
very curious about the contents
Nothing to rash, just the regular family from the year 1997, that is when I bought them, but they are needed now just like Handmaiden’s Tale by Margaret Atwood. It’s really a wonderful series.
Divergent series
I loved that one!
Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children
There’s a total of 3 I that series, correct?
Yea, Home for Peculiar Children is the first one hollow city is the second one and library of Souls is the third
Beautiful Creatures is much better than i thought it would be
That is a good series. I forgot I had those!
You guys are making my to find an read list longer by the second lol. Some of these books I haven’t heard about.
I’ve heard most of these..
try searching for booklists like Top 100 YA books of all time..
or Newbery Awardees..
Thanks!
The Rules by Holder/Viguie and Before I Wake CL Taylor.
Skulduggery Pleasant!
*updates TBR list*
thanks 😀
Yup 🙂
My husband is obsessed with The Keeper of the Keys by Garth Nix
Marie Lu Legend Trilogy. Shatter Me Series Taherah Mafi. Miss Peregrine Peculiar Series Ransom Riggs. The Maze Runner Series James Dashner. The Clockwork Series and City of Bones Series Cassandra Clare.
I like these books..
currently on TBR list 🙂
I already read all of them. Now looking for a new YA series to read. I highly recommend reading Marie Lu Legend Series and The Clockwork by Cassandra Clare.
Legend is a good book.. I like Day..
The Clockwork is Steampunk, yes?
Yes. Its steampunk.
All of the books by Sarah Dessen are really good
What genre does she write?
Young Adult
Fiction
Ohhhh.. Sounds good I’ll have to try her books out
the left behind series 1 2 and 3
this is a long series, but one of the best sellers..
His Dark Materials trilogy by Philip Pullman
For adventure and stuff, Alex Rider 🙂 verrry improbable but does not stop 🙂
It’s James Bond for kids, basically.
I’ve read the first 3 books.. definitely worth it..
been saving the rest for years..
They are fun reads.
The throneof glass series and the court series by sarah j maas
The Charlie Bone series. If you liked Harry Potter and Artemis Fowl, you’ll like it.
inheritance cycle by Christopher paolini, sevenwaters series by Juliet Marillier, also the Bridei chronicles and Wildwood dancing
The Pendragon Adventure by D.J MacHale (Merchant of Death is the first book in the series, I believe) is fantastic and he also did a trilogy called Morpheus Road, which was really good. He’s got some other series that I haven’t read yet but they’re probably very good as well.
these are new to me.. thank you 🙂
You’re more than welcome, I love sharing book reccomendations. One of the cool things about DJ MacHale is that he was one of the creators/writers for the Are You Afraid of the Dark TV series in the 90s.
Red Rising by Pierce Brown. Ender’s Game.
I’ve read Ender’s Game before the movie came out.. one of my all-time favorites..
currently reading Red Rising, as a recommendation for Ender’s Game fans
It’s definitely on the more-adult side of YA, but I loved the series. I think if you like The Hunger Games and Ender’s Game, Red Rising is a good fit!
Gallagher Girls by Ally Carter (Only the Good Spy Young, Cross My Heart and Hope to Spy, etc.)
Ally Carter also has the Heist Society novels.
So you want to be a wizard by Diane Duane, I think. Madeline L’Engle has written some good series. Look at the Newbury Award books.
The 5th wave by Rick Yancey
Throne of Glass series by Sarah J Maas
I second this along with A Court of Thorn and Roses
Sherilyn Kenyan’s Chronicles of Nick series!
Had to go to the YA section of the library….. The Book Thief.
one of the first YA books I’ve ever read.. ???
i like this thread.. a lot of books to choose from! lol..
Amanda Hockings’ series; Switched, Virtue, Wisdom..
Strange Angels by Lili St. Crow and the infernal devices by Cassandra Clare
The Chaos Walking trilogy by Patrick Ness. Soon to be a major motion picture starring Tom Holland and Daisy Ridley.
I’d love to have a copy of this..
and Tom+Daisy? omg ?
They are amazing, beautiful books and it’s about time they were made into movies! I’m so happy for Patrick, he’s so talented and deserves his work out there. A Monster Calls is also very good, both book and movie.
I am about to read 13 Reasons Why & Everything Everything.
hope you haven’t watched the adaptation first..
I’ve read it years before.. it’s a page-turner
I haven’t seen the adaptation either. I just heard about the books on tv.
Loved 13 reasons, everything everything is on my TBR list
“Young Wizard” series by Diane Duane. I bought the first one because it was titled “So You Want to be a Wizard?” 🙂 There are 11 books in total; I haven’t read them all but intend to do so.
“A Series of Unfortunate Events” by Lemony Snicket is definitely bizarre, but it was a good read. There’s 13 (!) books in the series.
The divergent series
The Croak Trilogy by Gina Damico is hilarious (Croak, Scorch, Rogue) and has a cool concept (teenage Grim Reapers in training).
“Skullduggery Pleasant.” You’ll be pleasantly surprised. ?
Arabian Knights
Oh here’s another suggestion the red queen series by Victoria Aveyard
Anything by John Green
The perks of being a wallflower by Stephen Chbosky
The Ember series… it’s kind of dystopian, & pretty interesting…
Everything, all her books by Cassandra Clare
Alice in Zombieland series
The lunar chronicles
Heartless
Six of crows series
Both Sarah J Maas series
Rangers apprentice
yes ! those are great books
You’ve read Percy Jackson, but did you know the author, Rick Riordan, has multiple series all set in the same universe? Aside from the original Percy Jackson series, there’s a sequel series to it, as well as Kane Chronicles (Egyptian themed), the Magnus Chase series (Norse themed), and Trials of Apollo (only read after both Percy Jackson series).
I’d also love to recommend The Chronicles of Nick. It’s a YA spinoff series set in Sherrilyn Kenyon’s Dark Hunter universe, but without all the crappy romance subplots to spoil the sweet supernatural goodness and overarching story.
Harry potter Persy Jackson and Artemis Fowl are not Ya. they are middle grade.
However here are some grat ya books:
Mara Dyer trilogy,
Radio Silence,
Looking for Alaska
Heartless
The night circus
Shatter me
etc etc. Sorry for not writing author names. I am feelingreally lazy right now. You will be able to find them because they are all bestsellers.
the vanx malic books by m. r. mathias
a court of thorns and roses series by sarah j maas and dinner with a vampire by abigail gibbs
ACOTAR was so good!
It’s been a couple of years now, I picked up this book at a library sale, it’s called, “The Great Good Thing,” by Roderick Townley , Dinatopia by James Gurney, I Can Hear the Mourning Dove by James Bennett, OPRE by Cynthia Voigt, the Giver by Lois Lowry
Lois Lowry is a great author. Her children’s books have depth and character. Number the Stars is very good. I am glad you mentioned her, @Julie. Wonder is a moving story. I heard a movie is being made of it.
Yes, it looks so good too
