Addicted to YA discussion

(My turn haha)
Can anyone suggest a good series. Like Mortal instruments. BIG FAT lots of chapters, several books etc Female POV.

Going away in two weeks for a week need books to read!

ps-Big suck for the whole Hero Rescues Heroine kinda deal.


TMI
INFERNAL DEVICES
VA
Blood Lines
Steampunk Chronicles,

@Katie, you can try Morganville Vampires by Rachel Caine. There's 15 books in the series and they now sell the books two at a time in volumes. The heroine is smart and clever. LOVE this series.

Another would be the Divergent series if you haven't already. Or The Darkest Powers trilogy and it's spin off by Kelley Armstrong.

Good luck and happy reading!

The whole Throne of Glass series
Along with the Splintered
And
Endgame

Here are my best bets for great books guaranteed to make you cry:
A Monster Calls Unforgettable! I cried for hours.
Winger One of my all-time favorites.
See You at Harry's I think this one is even better than TFIOS
Code Name Verity Destined to be a classic
The Rock and the River Another favorite.

Anything by Mitch Albom, while not YA, has a direct link to my tear ducts.
And if you're open to comics, is pretty dang tear jerky and, while it took until the final volume, Y: the Last Man was fantastic and had some very poignant parts.

@Beverly, @Tommy
I'm so grateful and thankful to both of you (: . Have a nice day & enjoy your reading!

A Monster Calls is just amazing I think EVERYONE needs to read it at least once in their lives. It was so touching and beautiful and creepy and just... Oh my gosh I cried so hard. REALLY got me out of a slump that Cinder kind of stuck me in.


As for me... I'm in need of a recommendation...I want thrills, I want chills and I want feels!

You might enjoy these. I have friends who plan trips to Portland just to go to Powell's. Seeing me is second on their to do list. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/powell...

I recommend "Aschwood Academy" by M.B. Cohen. It is a really fun fantasy novel about a school for the magically gifted and it is told from different points of view. It's actually a really fun, quick read and it's a new series by an author that I had never heard of - and I love the way the book flows and the humor in his writing! If you are a fan of HP - you would really enjoy this!

Wow so many good books! I loved I'll Give You the Sun. I would also recommend Dark Confessions of an Extraordinary, Ordinary WomanandMe and Earl and the Dying Girl. Very good books.

Just read the newly released Air Awakens by Elise Kova. Great book

Read Dark Confessions of an Extraordinary, Ordinary Woman. It made me cry quite a bit.

I've been reading almost strictly Paranormal Romance for the past few years and I really want to try to get into more fantasy books but have no idea where to start!! Let me know if you have any suggestions for me XD

Peculiar children series. The third book is gonna be released on sept 22!

Throne of Glass series, A Court of Thorns and Roses, or Shadow and Bone series are all great

I'm almost finished with this series and it is wonderful!

I am new to this discussion but I would recommend the Dragonian series by Adrienne Woods. Starting with Firebolt Thunderlight. Frostbite and 2 novellas and we are waiting for the next release of Moonbreeze. in November. The world of dragonshifters and their riders in an academy and romance between the dragonshifters and riders makes a beautiful and exciting story!

I would recommend the dragoninian series, its to die for and the last two books are comming out really soon

Kristina wrote: "Has anyone read this book? Would you recommend it? I saw it at the bookstore today and love the cover and the description..."

omg loooove that book

Hi,

Can anyone recommend me any YA/New Adult books by British authors with setting in UK universities. Much like Beautiful Disaster, Losing it, etc.

TIA :)

Definitely A Court of Thorns and Roses

Aschwood Academy by M. B. Cohen was an awesome fantasy/ adventure book I read over the summer. It was a really fun quick read and kept me wanting more! I mentioned this book in a thread a while back and can't wait for the next in the series. It is on sale for 99 cents for the next few days on Amazon and I highly recommend it!

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B010KJP...

I would recommend we all looked up, more happy than not, and I'll give you the sun!

The Amulet of Samarkand -- Jonathan Stroud
Artemis Fowl -- Eoin Colfer
Howl Series -- JK Brandon
OZ Chronicles -- RW Ridley
Abhorsen - Garth Nix
Midnighters - Scott Westerfeld
Pretty Little Liars -- Sara Shepard
Ranger's Apprentice -- John Flanagan

If you want a funny and inspiring book, read Dirty Secrets of the World's Worst Employee. If you want a sad and inspiring book, Dark Confessions of an Extraordinary, Ordinary Woman. Both made me feel good.

The Darkest Light Ashley Earley

All of my favorites have been recommended already, except for



It's an awesome YA sci-fi read! I think this is definitely underhyped. The other book in this duology comes out fall 2016. :)

Would love to get some recommendations based on the novel Ready Player One.

His second book, Armada, is quite similar in style and tone.

Slated Trilogy

I've read the Harry Potter series, Hunger Games series, Divergent, Mortal Instruments series, I am number 4 (Lorien Legacy series) and recently read An Ember in the Ashes. All easy to read page turners with lots of action and great premises!

I've also read Ashes, The Maze Runner series, Unwind series, and the rest of Divergent series - they were okay but not great.

What next? Would be good to find something that keeps you guessing with slightly more complex characters. I like sci-fi / fantasy - can anyone recommend a good series?

Shatter me. It's very character driven with romance, dystopian and fantasy elements. The writing style is poetic. It is heavy on the romance though. I couldn't put it down and the 3rd in the series is the best. If you read them be sure to read the destroy me novella before unravel me.
The darkest minds is another great series. I have only read the 1st one but I'm reading the others very soon. Shatter MeThe Darkest Minds

@ Alex- I'd recommend The Infernal Devices trilogy by Cassandra Clare, which is the prequel to The Mortal Instruments, and the Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas. Those are both great fantasies. A great sci-fi would be the Across The Universe trilogy by Beth Revis. I hope you like these if you read any of them! :)

If you're looking for a good YA sci-fi book then try All Our Yesterdays by Cristin Terrill. It's a standalone and there's also time traveling in it.
For fantasy, I'd recommend Eon by Alison Goodman, which is inspired by a Japanese mythology and featured a strong female protagonist.

This is a surprisingly good serie, and while it's heavy on the romance side, the way it's treated made it very good for me. The complete turnover of some of the characters et the whole complex devellopment of them (I'm really new at these reviews and discussions, it's hard talking about specifics without giving spoilers !) felt new to me, even if the idea behind it isn't a new one ;)

So. A good and different read. And loved the writing style too !

So. Is it juste me or is there a really bad recurring theme in YA romance novels about the jock who can get EVERY GIRL EVER but never cares (And everybody's in awe and finds that normal) and then this one girl just plays hard to get a little and it becomes a complete game changer for both of them ? Is that not like... a bad idea to repeatedly put in young girls heads ?

YA romance are really nice fluff reading that I like when i'm in a rough spot or in a period where my brain is over tired... I don't like them enough to pay much for them though, so I haven't read much of them until my husband bought me a Kindle, on which I can buy them all (or almost ) for less than 8$ ... ''THAT'' jock-player-meets-(weird-recluse-shy-unknown-desperate)girl (with a side of cheating some time ?) story can be good, i've just read 2 I really liked (and 3 pretty bad...) ...

but now I want to read different things... coming of age stories, realistically flawed people, talking a bit and discovering each other while falling in love, ... Not insta-love changing everything stories...

Does anyone have suggestions ?
