Dead House by Dawn Kurtagich!
Looking For Alaska
A Court Of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas
I just finished this book today.. and I’m screaming. I was a horrible person and looked on Pinterest and found out hints about the next book and my whole heart just broke lol
@Jessica lol yeah I avoid spoilers I didn’t want to know anything. I didn’t really like the first book Tamlins character didn’t settle well with me. Towards the end is where it really got good! And book two is my absolute favorite!!
Harry Potter and Twilight
Oh, and Hunger Games
They both die at the end by adam silvera was good.
Harry Potter
I’m old.. lol. My books in my teens were Judy Blume and the Sweet Valley High series

I repeat the comment above me – Harry Potter, Twilight, Hunger Games, and also Mistborn and The Wizard of Earthsea.

Harry Potter, Morganville Vampires, Vampire Academy, Wolves Of Mercy Falls trilogy, Wicked Lovely, and many more
I loved the Wicked Lovely series!
Wicked Lovely ?
Miss Peregrines Home for Peculiar Children
Hunger Games, Divergent, Hush Hush and Twilght
Twilight. And I was an adult. When I was in the target age range for YA it didn’t really exist in the huge capacity it does now. Basically there was VC Andrews and Sweet Valley High. Obviously, there were more, but those were the big ones. I mostly read classics and adult books when I was a teen.
Totally agree with you. All we had was adult fiction. It was Victoria Andrew’s that got me hooked as a teenager.
And Dean Koontz ?
Harry Potter and hunger games
I’m older, but I wanted to see what the hype was all about with the Twilight books.
…..and? What did you think?
@Liz I really enjoy them for what they were. Bella annoyed the hell out of me on numerous occasions, but I was fully engrossed in all 4 books ?
Ok. I have never understood the adult obsession with YA books.
The Night World series.
Mortal instruments!
Harry Potter
Sisterhood of the Traveling pants
Hunger games, Lunar Chronicles
Harry Potter? I was 11. Maybe hunger games
Looking for Alaska by John Green, Only Ever Yours by Louise O Neil and the #BloodforBlood trilogy by Catherine Doyle!

I’m reading the dark guardians series at the moment which is pretty cliche but it’s still good ? would also recommend the trylle series too
Obernewton series by I carmody
Tamora Pierce
Scott Westerfeld
Ellen Hopkins
Everything these 3 brilliant authors have written, I’ve read and LOVED.
Omg I haven’t read the Scott Westerfeld books in FOREVER but they are so good.
One of the more enticing dystopians for YA, I think. Time for a reread!
Completely agree. The whole premise is unlike anything else out there
Twilight, Hunger Games And Divergent got me hooked on YA but my recent favourites are Daughter of Smoke and Bone trilogy, A Court of Thorns and Roses trilogy and Angelfall, End of Days Trilogy. I do love a trilogy lol
The fault in our stars and the perks of being a wallflower
I was out of surgery and and boughtThrone of glass by sarah j maas to pass the time which got me back into reading. Then vampire academy by richelle mead was another amazing series then Threader by Rebekah turner
A Court of Thorns and Roses!
Trying to remember I think it was either the Matched trilogy by Ally Condie, The Hunger Games trilogy by Susan Collins or The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel series by Michael Scott
The lie tree by Francis Harding
Hunger Games
I love Jennifer Brown. She has some great books and I have even got to meet her a couple times.

Hush Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick
City of Ember!
Anything Christopher Pike (loved him when I was a teen and still go back and read them), Vampire Diaries (the books, of course), and in later years I’m a huge fan of the Lunar Chronicles and I liked the House of Night, but it went on a little long.
R.L. Stine’s Fear Street series! It really started my love for crime and mystery books, movies, and tv shows!
Twilight pulled me into the YA genre.
Shadow Falls series by CC Hunter
Morganville Vampires by Rachel Caine, Skulduggery Pleasant by Derek Landy, Shadow falls series by CC Hunter, Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins
Flying in place by Susan palwick is the best one for me. It’s short and was amazingly well done.
All of Kelley Armstrongs books!
