I'm obviously in a book obsession right now;)
What are some of your favorite YA book series? Or YA books in a series you are hoping to read soon?
I just finished the 5th Wave book 1, will read book 2 soon.
-
@Bao: did you like the 5th Wave? I may read that next.
I just finished the Red Rising Trilogy and I REALLY liked it!
-
I just finished the lux series by Jennifer armountrout. There suppose to be making movies out of the series. I literally can't wait. I'm reading the last book in the jeniene frost night huntress series. It's adult, but one of my all time favorites. I go back and forth

I
YA Series.
I loved the Forest of Hands and Teeth series by Carrie Ryan.
Working on the Red Rising Trilogy right now. At first it was a bit too sci-fi for me, but now I'm hooked.
Recently read Under The Never Sky Trilogy, really good.
I could list way too many... Vampire Academy, Throne of Glass Series, The Mortal Instruments, Shatter Me Series.... -
@hellobeeboston: loved it!!
-
@hellobeeboston: just finally looked this up! It sounds SO good! It's sitting in my Amazon cart now!
-
@Bao: yeah, I really really enjoyed it... I listened to it through Audible and I finished, then listened to the first book again!!! it was fun 'reading' the first book again after going through the series...
-
I loves all of Cassandra Clare's shadowhunter books, although there are a ton of them.
One of my bridesmaids actually wrote a book The Ward and its sequel The Isle. It's about a flooded nyc where everyone lives on the roofs of buildings. Obviously I'm biased, but think they're really good!
-
I love the Mortal Instruments and all the spin off series. I just bought the first book in the new trilogy this weekend.
-
@Mrs. Pickle: I finished it last week! I really liked it, which I was a little unsure going into it, knowing it was about different characters.
-
@Miss Ariel: oh that's good to hear! I've been a little unsure, too.
-
@Mrs. Pickle: @Miss Ariel: Does one of the series have the City of Bones in it? What's the new one then?
-
@Bao: yes, the city of bones is the very first one. The newest one is called lady midnight.
-
@Miss Ariel: thank you! What would you compare these books to?
-

The Mortal Instruments
Infernal Devices
Red Queen
The Malediction Trilogy
The selection
The DivinersStand alone a I've loved:
Fan Girl
Eleanor and Park
Code name verity
Gracefully Grayson -
@MrsTal: thank you! Going to look these ones up now
-
@Bao: I would suggest reading the first three books in the Mortal Instruments, then read the Infernal Devices trilogy, then the last three Mortal Instruments books. Otherwise you might come across some spoilers for the Infernal Devices.
-
@Mrs. Pickle: ah, good to know! Thanks!
-
@Mrs. Pickle: I didn't even realize there were spin-offs to The Mortal Instruments... I'll have to go check them out.
-
@josina: yes!! I love the infernal devices even more than the mortal instruments!
-
@Bao: I don't think there's a good thing they compare to. Although there's a movie and "abc family" tv show based on them.
It's similar in a way to Harry Potter except more love triangles.
-
Bumping for more ideas!
-
I like Cory Doctorow's books, they're a little more science-fiction than The Fifth Wave.
And I read the first book in the Lunar Chronicles and liked it. And the Winner's Trilogy by Marie Rutkoski. These two are typical YA fantasy-romance.
I absolutely loved the Kingdom of Little Wounds by Susann Cokal. It's hard to describe but it's almost like historical fiction except the kingdom isn't a real place. Most of the book is about power and how one person can have/gain/keep power over other people. It's pretty dark and intense but totally great.
-
@tofuwad: I just got Cinder! Haven't read it yet though.
-
@hellobeeboston: @josina: Just for clarifying, Red Rising by Pierce Brown isn't actually young adult. Although it's EXCELLENT and I highly recommend it to anyone!!
Here are some of my fave young adults:
Shadow & Bone by Leigh Bardugo
Divergent by Veronica Roth
Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead
Bloodlines by Richelle Mead
Cinder by Marissa Meyer
A Monster Calls (standalone novel) by Patrick Ness
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
Uglies by Scott Westerfield
Everneath by Brodi Ashton
Sanctum by Sarah Fine
City of Bones by Cassandra Clare
The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness
Across the Universe by Beth Revis
The Adoration of Jenna Fox (can be standalone) by Mary E. PearsonAnd I'm currently reading The Iron King by Julie Kagawa and it's excellent so far!
-
@Adira: I have some of these on my Goodreads! So many books, so little time!
-
@Adira: I'm curious about Vampire Academy, is it cheesy? Assuming no since you liked it!
-
@Bao: I didn't think it was cheesy, though the first book wasn't that great. As a series though, it just seemed to get better and better. There's an overarching story throughout the 6 books and I really enjoyed it! Plus I'm a sucker for romance and these books do have that. Bloodlines is the following series - it follows a couple of the side characters from the Vampire Academy series and I actually enjoyed that one even more! But I think it would be easier to read/follow if you read the Vampire Academy ones first.
-
@Adira: I had no idea those two were related, good to know! Thanks!
-
@Bao: You're welcome! Have fun reading!
YA Series.
