D | 11 comments Hi, guys. Just joined and love reading your reviews. I have the next 2 months off of work and am looking to read some new titles. I'm in the middle of Graceling and have read City of Bones series, Divergent, etc. Does anyone have any good suggestions to occupy my time off? Anything would be awesome!

D | 11 comments Hi, Heidi! Honestly, I'm willing to try anything. I have a ton of time and just want to curl up (in air conditioning lol) and read. I'm embarrassed to admit, but I forgot how relaxing it is! Those were just the recent titles I read from suggestions on the site. :)

Heidi Well if you are talking YA books I will name of some of my favorites. I am pretty picky so hopefully you will like them if you give them a go!

The Book Thief by Markus Zusak The Knife of Never Letting Go (Chaos Walking, #1) by Patrick Ness Anna and the French Kiss (Anna and the French Kiss, #1) by Stephanie Perkins Jellicoe Road by Melina Marchetta The Fault in Our Stars by John Green Bloody Jack Being an Account of the Curious Adventures of Mary "Jacky" Faber, Ship's Boy (Bloody Jack, #1) by L.A. Meyer Hex Hall (Hex Hall, #1) by Rachel Hawkins Ready Player One by Ernest Cline Cinder (Lunar Chronicles, #1) by Marissa Meyer The Monstrumologist (The Monstrumologist, #1) by Rick Yancey Rot and Ruin (Benny Imura, #1) by Jonathan Maberry Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell Poison Study (Study, #1) by Maria V. Snyder

There! That should be a good mix of all different genres! Let me know if you read any of them and what you think. :)

Heidi p.s. if you liked Book Thief have you also tried his other book I am the Messenger I am the Messenger by Markus Zusak ? I really liked that one too - it is different than Book Thief but still good.

D | 11 comments I actually had read that first. I went to the library today and went a little book crazy! I don't even know where to start! I picked up a couple of your suggestions. A bunch were out! I can't wait!

Heidi *squee* I am so nervous but excited to hear your thoughts - what did you end up finding??? p.s. have you also read Markus's Underdogs Underdogs (Wolfe Brothers, #1-3) by Markus Zusak ?? I could tell it was his first published works but it was still worth the read IMO.

Heidi p.s.s. If you like Markus Zusak you may be an Aussie author fan as I have turned out to be so you should also like On the Jellicoe Road (hopefully).
