I’m a fairly recent convert to Young Adult books. Looking back, there wasn’t an exact moment where I consciously chose to read more YA titles than Adult, it kind of slowly progressed that way. The last year-and-a-half to two years has seen my biggest shift toward reading YA, and with all the books I’m reading and loving it doesn’t look like that’s going to change any time soon. There have been SO MANY awesome YA books released over the past five or so years, and since I was so late to the YA revolution I feel like I’m playing catch up!
I'm linking up with the Top Ten Tuesday meme, run by The Broke and the Bookish this week.
I see these 6 books EVERYWHERE, and I’m probably one of the last people on Earth that hasn’t read them yet. I really do want to change this status, and this is where you come in! Which one of these books/series should I make my top priority to read as soon as I can?

The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor
The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin
The next 4 books I’m a little unsure of. I think it’s safe to say most of us have been bitten by the hype bug once or twice – I know I have! These titles are insanely popular, but I’m kind of scared of trying them and finding they don’t live up to my expectations. If you’ve read any of them, let me know which ones really do live up to the hype, and think I should try!

The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher
The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky
I’ve begun the painful process of accepting that I’ll never get to read all the books I want to read in my lifetime. (Oh, who am I kidding - this will never sink in! I’ll still carry on trying to read ALL the books until the bitter end!) If you had to pick, which book from this list would you recommend I read right now, and which ones should I skip?
Thanks for reading, and have a fab Tuesday!
I LOVED Shatter Me, Daughter of Smoke and Bone, and Legend! I highly recommend them! Accepting that you won't be able to read EVERY book is quite depressing. Why must life be so short!?

I know!! I really wish I could read every book I like the sound of, but it's not possible sadly :( I can't wait to try Shatter Me, Daughter of Smoke and Bone and Legend now! I got a copy of Daughter of Smoke and Bone last week, so hopefully I'll love it :D Thanks for stopping by, Lizzie!
DeleteNice! I've read Shatter Me, Mara Dyer, and Legend! All were great! They were intriguing reads for sure since those were kind of mysterious and/or dystopic! Hope you get to read these soon and enjoy them!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Tuesday Post
Have a GREAT day!

Thanks Jessica! I really hope I can get my hands on them all soon :)
DeleteI highly recommend "The Book Thief" !! It's absolutely fantastic!
ReplyDeleteCheck out my TTT post: https://greenishbookshelf.wordpress.com/2015/07/07/top-10-tuesday-hyped-books-ive-never-read/
Ooh, thanks for the recommendation Jane!
DeleteThe Book Thief really is a great book and out of all of these you really should read! :-) The Perks of Being A Wallflower is definitely over-hyped >.<
ReplyDeleteEnjoy these if you decide to read them :-)
Here's my TTT if you would like to check it out :D Have a great day :-)
I was afraid of that with Perks. I've seen it everywhere, and just from the synopsis it didn't seem as amazing as the hype was making it out to be. I think I might skip it, at least for a while longer :D But The Book Thief, oooh I think I'll have to get my hands on a copy soon :D Thanks for stopping by, Emma, and for the recommendations!
