Ten Books To Read To Get Into YA

Apr 12, 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 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.

I love a lot of books, but I do talk about more than I do others. Here is a small list of some of my favourite books/series that I don’t think I talk about enough.

Lux Series by Jennifer L. Armentrout: This is only a recent read, and I have no idea why I waited so long to read these books, because they are seriously so good. I haven’t written my reviews for this, but I read the whole series in a week.

Winner’s Trilogy by Marie Rutkoski: This is probably one of my favourite fantasy series that I have read. I adore these books, and I just want everyone to read them. Winner’s Curse | Winner’s Crime | Winner’s Kiss

Salt to the Sea by Ruta Sepetys: Another recent read, but this book is already of my favourite this year. Review

Emmy and Oliver by Robin Benway: I love this book a lot, it was fun, cute and broke my heart at times. Review

Masquerade by Kylie Fornasier: This book is just beautiful. Review

The Darkest Corners by Kara Thomas: This book messed with my mind, but it was so good. here was so many twist and turns and I had no idea to believe. I guessed some things and was way off on others. This book kept me thinking and thinking, I could not put it down. Review coming soon.

And that is it for this weeks Top Ten Tuesday. I hope you liked the 6 books that I love, but don’t about enough. I hope that you read some of them. Do we share any? Are you going to read any? Let’s Chat.
