YA Book Club Reads

Nov 1, 2016

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

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.

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

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.

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

TTT: Six Villains that are fantastically brilliant

Oct 5, 2016

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 topic is: Top Ten Bookish Villains.

Villains always intrigue me. I love seeing how their minds work, how they have become who they are. I like seeing that some are just plain evil, while others are villains in different ways. My list isn’t particularly long or in an order.

Lada from And I Darken: Lada was fierce and scary and totally took me by surprise. I cannot wait to get into her head again | Review

Voldemort from Harry Potter: Another villain that I find quite interesting, he had a pretty crap upbringing, but still held a prejudice towards people.

Villain from Lady Midnight: Okay so I haven’t named who this person is because the reader doesn’t know until the end. But this person was intriguing and daring. I cannot wait to see what Lord of Shadows brings | Review

Queen Levana from the Lunar Chronicles: Terrifying much. So transfigured and overwhelmed by her desires that she makes a perfect villain.

Sebastian Morgenstern from The Mortal Instruments: Horrifying, manipulative, and oh so evil; yet very interesting.

Lillian from the Worldwalker Trilogy: Does some pretty horrible stuff, is manipulative, but she is not the only evil one | Review Trial by Fire, Firewalker.

Okay so I don’t have a list of 10, but close enough. What are some of your favourite villains? Do we share any? Let’s Chat!

Ten Books on my Spring TBR

Sep 28, 2016

I love spring, it’s one of my favourite seasons. I like that it’s not too hot, that I can go on walks and even sometimes I can sit outside and read. Also, my birthday is in spring (November 18th to be exact), but it’s just a nice couple of months before the heat comes.

This week there is a mix of books, some have been published, some not. Some I already have in my hands, some I need to find some money to buy. However, I am hoping to read most fo these by the end of November.

Heartless by Marissa Meyer: I currently have an arc of this in my hands and cannot wait to get started. I have loved Marissa Meyer’s previous novels and cannot wait to dig into this. Published: November 8th

The Star-Touched Queen by Roshani Chokshi: I was sent this one for review, but I am totally excited to read it. Published: November in Australia

Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo: I loved Six of Crows and cannot wait to see what happens next. I loved the world, the magic and the characters. Published: September 27th

Tales of Shadowhunter Academy by Cassandra Clare: Okay, I have already read this but, I cannot wait for it to be in physical form and re-read it. Published: November 15th

P.S. I Like You by Kasie West: This is already out, but I have yet had the chance to pick it up and I really hope to do it in the next couple of months. Published: July

Assassin’s Heart by Sarah Ahiers: I haven’t heard too many things about this one, but I was sent it for review and it looks like something right up my alley. Published: August 22nd Australia/New Zealand

Nevernight by Jay Kristoff: The only reasons I haven’t picked this up is because I haven’t had time. I feel like it’s one of those books that I just want to sit down and read. So I am waiting. I was lucky enough to be able to interview Jay for my #LoveOZYA Interviews. Published: July

In the Dark, in the Woods by Eliza Wass: Aka – The Cresswell Plot. This was one of my most anticipated books of the year, but I have yet had the chance to read it. I did buy it the other week so that is one step closer. Published: April

The Problem with Forever by Jennifer L. Armentrout: This one sounds like my kind of read and I cannot wait to get my hands on it. Hopefully soon. Published: June

The Hammer of Thor by Rick Riordan: I adored the first book in the series, and I am so excited to see where this adventure takes me. Published: October 4th

And that is my list! What are you looking forward to reading in the next couple of months? Do we share anything that is the same? Do you think I might enjoy something else? Let’s Chat!
