1499743 My plans for June are were:

Hunger Games
The Book of Lost Things
The Graveyard Book
The Remarkable Life & Times of Eliza Rose
Bewitching Season

Well that didnt work out so well! I read The Book of Lost Things and am in the middle of The Graveyard Book. The others will have to wait until July, I guess! I did read The Boy in the Striped Pajamas and I, Coriander, though.

The fourth one is the weakest in the series, almost like he published it before he was finished. The fifth one is good again, though, so hang in there.

I think you'll like The Uglies series, especially the first couple. Also great by Scott Westerfeld is the Midnighters series: first book: The Secret Hour.

I'm about to start fade too! I really loved Wake and the series has great potential. I also read the whole House of Night series (which i loved!). I've been reading a lot of paranormal romance lately and it looks like i will continue with that trend :)


message 26: by Vicki (new)

29460 I am reading A Curse as Dark as Gold and will be starting Fade soon.


message 25: by Lisa (new)

83445 In addition to the books that I mentioned above, I'm reading/finishing up tonight Ender's Game and it's so good! I thought it was adult science fiction but I guess it's ya; it's listed as in the teen collection at my library.


message 24: by Colleen (new)

2323636 I am reading Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher right now. Next up is the Uglies series. I will be reading Wake and Fade too. I just recently discovered YA last month and I am addicted! I just read The Alchemyst, The Magician and The Sorceress by Michael Scott last month. I also read The Awakening and The Summoning by Kelley Armstrong. I haven't found many paranormal YA I don't like. Except for Twilight that is.

I read Elsewhere last week and that was great too!


message 23: by Nicole (new)

2047735 To add to my previous list, I also just finished the first two 39 clues books.

1958329 I'm working on:
Re-read #8 of Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets
The Sorceress by Michael Scott
The Hunger Games
Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief
Eragon

I won't be too sad if I don't get Eragon done this month. It's not one I'm in a hurry to complete.
Hopefully I can obtain a copy of Hunger Games sometime this week or next. And hopefully I'll get HP #2 and The Sorceress done before then. I may not get to Percy Jackson at all this month, but that's okay.

I think that's all....


message 17: by Angie, YA lovin mod!! (new)

86285 I have heard a lot of bad things about the end of the maximum ride series. That's too bad. Sometimes when books get too preachy they are not fun anymore.


message 16: by London (new)

2222361 oh and finish the last two book in the maximum ride series too... but the first three were way better than the fourth one is right now... i mean global warming??? please...

then I plan to read (many are not my usual genre/type of book):

Admission

Storm Front

Something Borrowed

Jitterbug Perfume

and maybe some more, including Catching Fire but I doubt I can get an early copy of this, and certainly not this early.

86285 Well I got a lot of reading done in May! So in June I am going to read:

Scat
Bite
Unusual Suspects
Marked
One False Note
The Sword Thief

Seems like there will be a lot of YA this month!
