Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish. Each week they post a new Top Ten list that members at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. All bloggers are then welcomed to join. This week’s Top Ten Tuesday is: Top Ten Books For Every X To Read. I picked the X of – people who want to read YA; young adult.
When I first started to read YA, when I was 12/13 it was all to do with Vampires, Werewolves and Angel’s – I was 12 when the first Twilight movie came out so it was when the movement was strong. I have put a list together in different genre for those people who want to read YA and don’t really know where to start.
These are in no order, but to me a good indication on where to start in the big world of YA. Sometimes I have an author instead of a book, because I think any of their books will do.
Contemporary:
John Green: Any books by John Green is a good way to start in contemporary, it’s how I started and I think they are easy to read and understand. I love Looking for Alaska and The Fault in Our Stars.
Morgan Matson: She is a newer author to me, even though I have been reading her books for over 2 years. She books with hurt, but they are quite beautiful. Book Review: Since You’ve Been Gone. My review on The Unexpected Everything will be up soon too – hint – I loved it.
Stephanie Perkins: Her books are fluffy, cute and they always out me in the a good mood.
Fantasy
The Winner’s Trilogy by Maire Rutkoski: Okay this is my favourite fantasy trilogy – even though it’s not really fantasy, but it is. It’s all confusing – just read it. The Winner’s Curse | The Winner’s Crime | The Winner’s Kiss
Percy Jackson World: So this again is a little round about on fantasy – however I feel that when trying to get people into fantasy and giving them a big 600 page+ fantasy book with lots of world building would deter them. However, if they start off with the Percy Jackson books, they are on a good start as the books go on the characters get older.
Urban Fantasy
The Mortal Insturments by Cassandra Clare: I know this isn’t the first books in the world, however they are modern-ish, easy to read and both males and females will enjoy it.
Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead: This is how I got into reading YA. There is killing, romance and everything in between.
Science Fiction
Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer: A world that isn’t too heavily complicated, with cyborgs and androids, theses books are so fun to read.
These Broken Stars by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner: This is such a good read for those who like science fiction and space – I cannot wait to read more.
That is this for this week! What would you recommend for people trying to get into YA? Do we share anything the same? Let’s Chat.
