YA Book Club Reads

YA Book Club Reads

November 1, 2016 Posted by angelreads Features, Top Ten Tuesday 6 Comments

TTT

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. Everyone join as you please. This week’s topic is: Top Ten Books To Read If Your Book Club Likes _____. 

Because I am all about the YA, I thought why not share young adult books that I think book clubs might love to read. There is a range of different YA here, some older, some newer. There is a range of genre’s and authors and just a little mix of everything. Nevertheless, these are also in particular order.  

YA Book Club Reads

ttt-book-club-1

Something in Between by Melissa De La Cruz: Such an important book that is topical. It was a refreshing and smart and that I think every teen and adult should read.  Full Review coming soon. 

Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo: Addicting characters, wonderful world and a plot that had me turning page after page. 

Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor: Daughter of Smoke and Bone is truly an original piece of writing that is utterly beautiful, the words dance from page to page. It takes the normal Angel stories and throws them in the bin.

ttt-book-club-2 

Frankie by Shivaun Plozza:  Frankie by Shivaun Plozza is a brilliant debut novel that captured my heart. It’s a story of heartbreak, belonging, finding yourself and what it is to be a family | Full Review #LoveOzYA

Every Series by Ellie Marney: A breathtaking, original series that will have you on the edge of your seat. You will not know what will happen next and you will be begging for more. #LoveOZYA

Disruption and Corruption by Jessica Shirvington: Has enthralling characters, an engrossing world and a plot that just keeps you right there in the action. A must read for everyone that loves YA and beyond. Full Review #LoveOZYA 

ttt-book-club-3

Salt to the Sea by Ruta Sepetys: Beautiful, captivating, extraordinary. Salt to Sea brings to light a catastrophe that has been forgotten. With stunning writing and intriguing characters Ruta Sepetys brings a novel that tells a story that everyone needs to read. Full Review. 

Illuminae by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff: You are kept on the edge of your chair with many twists and turns. #LoveOzYA 

All the Rage by Courtney Summers: Important, brilliant and just breathtaking. However, it’s heartbreaking and hard to read. 

ttt-book-club-4

The Yearbook Committee by Sarah Ayoub: Is enchanting book, that will tear you apart and put you together, over and over again. Be prepared because you will be taken on a ride with 5 students in their last year of high school. Full Review  #LoveOZYA

    I like The Year Book Committee to, and I loved Shades of Gray so I know I’m going to like Salt to the Sea when I get to read it… soon I hope 🙂

    I love some of these and some are brand new to me! I hope The Yearbook Committee get published in the US. It sound so good! I’ve had Illuminae on my wish list for awhile. I see it everywhere! Great list!

    This is such a great list! I loved Daughter of Smoke and Bone, Six of Crows and Illuminae. I don’t have a book club but I do have discussion groups for each of those books.

    I want to read The Yearbook Committee. It sounds like something I would like. I am planning on starting Six of Crows before the end of the year. Great list! These are some good ideas for our library teen book club too.

I have a love-hate relationship with this series. I have a love-hate relationship with this series. But I ended up really enjoying this one. It’s best friends to fake dating to-lovers. It’s always been you, bad-boy/good-girl, and I loved that. While Save Your Breath has quite a few tropes, it really leads itself to it, and it works. 

Aleks and Mia have known each other for years now. Since they were teenagers, that angst has been building up this whole time. And you can tell right from the get-go, it’s fantastic. I even wanted more of it, because I love pain. When Aleks went to live with Mia’s family as a teenager, sparks flew, but for many reasons, they both put their feelings aside. And well, now they are not only going to be fake-dating, but they might as well be engaged, too. 

I really enjoyed seeing how both Aleks and Mia both tried to hide how they were feeling throughout the whole ‘fake-dating’ situation, but anyone could see it. They know each other as no one else does. Aleks has a lot going on, and while I do think this was brushed over a little too much, Mia is his centre. Mia is a massive music star and is a female in the industry, so yeah, people don’t respect her. Obvsiouly because why couldn’t a female star be badass and write about the things that she has gone through? Aleks and Mia get each other, and that is very clear from the start; they are both just trying to squash everything. We get to see them slowly start to show how they feel, and well, one night it all explodes. 

Overall, I enjoyed this one a lot; it’s not my favourite of the series, but I had a great time reading it. I liked Aleks and Mia a lot as characeters and while I think the mental health aspect could have been explored a whole lot more, I can see why it wasn’t. The romance was slow and spicy, the angst was great, and the payoff for these two was what they needed.

Well February wasn’t the best reading month. I onl Well February wasn’t the best reading month. I only ended up reading 3 books in. 3 pretty fun books but one of my slowest readings months in a while. 

And I’m going to be honest here it’s because I’ve been constantly reading Heated Rivalry fanfics. 🤷‍♀️ I’m having the best time though. 

How was your reading in February? Any 5  star reads?
