Young Adult books cover A LOT of different types of books, so you may not like some/all of the books I’ve got here, but oh well.
The Lumatere Chronicles by Melina Marchetta
There are three books:
#1 – Finnikin of the Rock
#2 – Froi of the Exiles
#3 – Quintana of Charyn
I actually like ALL Marchetta’s books (I discovered her about a month ago and now I’ve read all her books. I am obsessed.) Check out her books if you already haven’t 🙂
Some others:
The Maze Runner by James Dashner (and its sequels…. *shudder* creepyyyy… but slightly confusing at the start)
Angelfall by Susan Ee (I’m not sure if this one’s out physically yet. I read it as an eBook)
Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher
And some other books that you’ve probably already read. oh well. I’ll put it down anyway.
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
Divergent by Veronica Roth
I Am Number Four by Pittacus Lore
Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephan Chbosky (I actually didn’t particularly enjoy this as much as I thought I would from all the reviews it was getting [I blame emma watson playing in the films… cos everyone loves her 🙂 ] but if you haven’t already read it you might like to check it out.
also books by Nicholas Sparks (I’ve only read a few and I loved some of them, but found others a bit boring)
A good website for finding books that you’re interested in is goodreads.com
I found it reallly helpful for finding books that I really liked because, as I said before, the category of books ‘young adult’ is really broad and sometimes I don’t like the popular books that fit into that category.
Hope this helped!
I just finished reading a trilogy and I totally recommend it. The trilogy is called Keegan’s Chronicles by Julia Crane. The book is just awesome and it has mythical creatures in it too.
