Top Ten YA Books We'd Recommend to People Who Don't Read YA

Hosted by: The Broke and the Bookish

Welcome to our first ever Top Ten Tuesday!

Young Adult (or YA) is the go-to literature for both of us. Be it fantasy, contemporary or otherwise, it's what we like to read. We've decided to list a few books each, and hopefully it'll give you a good cross-section to chose from for your next (or first!) YA selection.

Lindsay's Selections: 

1. If you like fan fiction, family, friends and a dash of awkwardness: Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell

2. If you like Paris and cute boys: Anna & the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins 

3. If you like fairy tales, royalty and pretty clothes: Gorgeous by Paul Rudnick 

4. If you like fantasy, a female assassin, a dreamy prince and a swoon-worthy soldier: Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas

5. If you're a Jane-ite, an adaptation of Persuasion: For Darkness Shows the Stars by Diana Peterfreund

Lindsay's Honorable Mentions: Attachments by Rainbow Rowell (and Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell. Basically, anything by Rainbow Rowell...), Lola & the Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins, and The Girl of Fire and Thorns Series by Rae Carson

Sarah's Selections:

1. If you like dystopian futures and rebellion, try: The Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins

 

(Seconded by Lindsay!!!)

2. If you like award winning drama with self-discovery, a little mystery and romance thrown in the mix, try: Jellicoe Road by Melina Marchetta

Ditto to this one too!--Lindsay

3. If you like Nazi era historical fiction, try The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
