Have you read All The Bright Places? I loved it.
I have not but just ordered it on amazon ?
Great!!! It’s so good and so sad. It’s one of my favorites.
Read ‘more happy than not’ if you’re a fan!
Do you like more contemporary or.more fantasy?
More contemporary but I’m not against fantasy lol
I didn’t even know that we were liars was considered YA. I loved it.
I suppose it doesn’t much matter. To me, a good book is a good book, however it’s classified.

Morganville Vampires, Weather Warden, Iron Fey, Wicked Lovely, Chemical Garden, Penryn And The End Of Days, Uglies, Throne Of Glass, Study, Shifters, Wolves Of Mercy Falls, Fallen, Hush Hush, Soul Screamers, are all YA series/trilogies I love

The Lie Tree
You guys are awesome!!!
My 11 year old and I just finished The Children of the New Forest. We both loved the story. It is historical fiction. Apparently the BBC has made a series (mini?) out of it.
Tangerine
Six of crows; legend trilogy; delirium trilogy.
Six of Crows! ??????
My favorite book in high school was This Lullaby by Sarah Dessen and I still like to reread it every once in awhile. And I love all of John Green’s books but haven’t read his newest.
Some of the best teen reads I have done in a while have been:
The Agony of Bun O’keefe – Heather Smith (I can’t recommend this one enough!!!!!!!!)
The Hate U Give- Angie Thomas(this one should be self explanatory)
The Gentlemans Guide To Vice & Virtue – Mackenzi Lee(I LOVE this book)
Girl Mans Up – ME Girard (rare to find butch lesbian YA, and so good!)
Allegedly – Tiffany JAckson
Beauty Queens – Libba Bray (I was CRYING laughing on every page)
Simon/Unrequited – Becky Albertalli
Queens of Geek – Jen Wilde
Eliza & Her Monsters – Francesca Zappia
Moxie – Jennifer Matthieu
Gabi, a girl in pieces – Isabel Quintero
The Bunker Diary by Kevin Brooks is one of the bleakest teen books I have ever read also.
The Red Queen Series, The Selection Series and Everless
Colleen Hoover has some I think would be considered Y.A and they are so good!!! Try November 9 or Confess. Or one that is much more steamy in the bedroom is Ugly Love. They are really great reads!
Ah LOVE Colleen! Have you read Abbi Glines?
@Lauren No I havn’t.
I will look into her though. Do you have a favorite of hers?
She is friends with Colleen! She does two main series; sea breeze and (the other escapes me) but her website tells you the orders xx
ok will check it out! Ty
The Hate U Give is amazing
I’m reading that one right now! It is so good
OH YEAH and Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe.
Glimmerglass
THE PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER

genuine Fort, e.lockart!
leigh bardugo is amazing!! the grisha trilogy and the six of crows duology ??
Ice wolves by amie kaufman. Percy Jackson series. Rilla by Ivana Truglio. I am a grown woman and love YA fantasy.
The Rithmatist by Brandon Sanderson
I love Percy jackson
@Sean did you read all ten or jist the first five?
All 10 of them plus the two short story mini books they released
@Sean i am halfway through the mark of athena. Finding the second lot of five harder to get through but absolutely love the first five.
First 5 were better in my opinion with the exception of 2nd book. I think the second series needed a little bit of something more also didn’t have the same feel
@Sean yeah. Chaninging it to third person and introducing so many new characters was part of the problem. I feel the quests are bogged down with too many hurdles to get over that are just there to beef out the book rather than for a legitimate story moment. The first five are perfection.
The concept was interesting the mix of Greek and Roman parts but in execution didn’t work as well as i was hoping
Tell Me Three Things, Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda, One of Us Is Lying, Turtles All the Way Down, Eleanor & Park, We Were Liars, and Every Day. Wonder is classified for even younger readers but I loved it, too! Love them all and I’m def nowhere near YA age. Actually, my youngest is almost out of YA age range. 🙂
Eleanor & Park, We were liars and Every Day yes! I need to check out your other recs.
Everything Everything
When We Collided is good! ? xxx
Matched trilogy
going to check this out myself
The Sin Eaters Daughter by Melissa Salisbury. Mind Games by Teri Terry. The Rest of us Just Live Here by Patrick Ness. One by Sarah Crossan. Showstopper by Hayley Barker. Broken Sky series by L.A.Weatherly. My Sister Lives on the Mantlepiece by Annabel Pitcher. Noughts and Crosses Malorie Blackman. My favourite YA book in the world is My Name is Mina by David Almond.
Not sure if anyone has mentioned The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue. One of my faves!
So good!!!
I can’t wait for the sisters book
What?!?!?!? I hadn’t heard about that! You just made my night ?
YES! The Ladies Guide to Petticoats and Piracy 😀 😀
We were liars…I read it twice because of the twist in the end. Everything made completely different sense second time around. Book clubbed it with a group of high school girls and they LOVED it.
Just finished my second time through as well. I thought it was wonderful!!!
It really is one that needs a second read. I just never saw the end coming. I saw everything so different the second time yet didn’t feel like it was ruined because I knew the end. Just a different perspective throughout. Good writing and great reading.
I’m so excited about all of these recommendations…my amazon account is loving me while my wallet hates me right now ? thank you all!
If you are in australia i am happy to pass on the books Inrecommended.
Awww thank you so much but I’m in the states…
The Lunar Chronicles and A Court of Thorns and Roses trilogy
I’m also saving for recommendations….
Looking for Alaska by John Green
Like fantasy?
A Court of Thorns and Roses, This Mortal coil, anything by Cassandra Clare, Anna and the French kiss, I’ll give you the sun, Caraval, Fangirl and 180 Seconds are some of my absolute favourites!
Eleanor & Park, Looking for Alaska, Slammed, The Cavendish Home for Boys and Girls, and Every Day
I just finished A Court of Thorns and Roses. Do yourself a favor and Read. This. Series.
Eleanor and Park, All The Bright Places, You Know Me Well, Looking For Alaska, The Serpent King. Also YA Fantasy -The Rithmatist ( like read this immediately) and the “Study ” trilogy by Maria V Snyder, starting with Poison Study
The Lux series if you like aliens ?
We (my teenage daughters and I) loved we were liars, all the bright places but also for something completely different read replica, preferably the physical version! We also liked the first 2 divergent books
The Medoran Chronicles by Lynette Noni! ??
Also Rebel of the Sands by Alwyn Hamilton.
The rising storm by Ceri Lowe. Hemlock Jones and the Angel of Death by Justin Caroll . Thirteen reasons why by Jay Asher. Richelle Mead her books are vampire style and good.
Tangerine
Fantasy? The heku series was awesome as well as the grey wolves.
Pretty much anything by Quinn Loftis. She puts a level of humor. Richelle mead is also great. The blood decendent series, the relentless series. I have plenty more if you need more ideas.
Yes i like vampires and shifter series.
Morgan Rice is also pretty good
Currently at work…other suggestions for you! ?
The Way I Live Now by Meg Rosoff
Beautiful Disaster
The Book Thief
The Fallen Crest Series by Tijan (And anything else she writes) Pepper Jones series by Ali Dean and The Paper Princess Series by Erin Watt
I really liked “Dash and Lily’s Book of Dares”.
Divergent Series and Hunger Games.
Try beautiful disaster, by Jamie McGuire, then read walking disaster. It is the same story from the point of view of two different characters.
