YA Apocalyptic and Dystopian Fiction discussion

Ok, so the point of this game is to say the entire alphabet, but with book titles. One person starts and names a book that starts with an A. The next person names a book that starts with a B....yada yada yada...you guys all get the point. Oh, and once we get to Z, just start over again with A.

Let's try to make all the books YA books (PA or dystopian YA would be even better, but YA in general is just fine).

p.s. Ignore "the" and "a" or any other articles that begin book titles. So, if you were gonna use The Dark Divine for your letter, use it with D for Dark instead of T for The. Make sense? Yes. Good :)

This should be fun for us to find new books! Yay!

Ok, I'll start!


A: Ashfall by Mike Mullin

The obvious that came to me was Beautiful Creatures, but I kinda want to suggest that if possible, we list books that haven't gotten as much mention in our group. That way some of the less popular or little known novels can get some representation. Just a thought...

So my contribution is...

B:Bones of Faerie by Janni Lee Simner

OOOhhh! I read that one a while ago but I forgot most of it. The sequel came out the day CoFA did, and I haven't bought it yet. I'll get around to it eventually...

C: Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins

D: Darkest Mercy by Melissa Marr

Wow, I just googled "young adult books that start with X" hehe :) Yes!

Wow, Amy, I did the same thing -- searched goodreads for "X" books (didn't want X-men) and was just writing my comment with this book in mind when you beat me to it. (I had to read about the book first, so that slowed me down--ha!ha!) Looks like a good book I might read.
