Looking for YA books with 3rd person POV...

[Chris]

Anybody have any suggestions? I'm not a huge contemporary fan.

[David, Mr. Blue Eyes; He's the Best--Ain't no lie!! ;)]

YES! In dystopian/scifi:

This series is REALLY good, and the sequel is even better. Third book to come.

Only my favorite dystopian series ever!

So eerie and awesome!

This series is REALLY entertaining.

Mystery/suspense/crime: Really good book about the kid of a convicted serial killer. The author is awesome too and is coming to the fan group on September 13th to take questions :)

Sorry, drawing a blank on others as I'm having trouble keeping track of which are 1st person versus 3rd person, but I loved all these ones! Good luck :)

Awesome Dave - I've heard nothing but good things about KONLG - I'll have to start there!!!

It's my favorite series and Patrick Ness is my idol!

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

is another good 3rd person POV--Sci-Fi/ Dystopian. The series gets better with each book, too which I love!

Totally agree with Partials and the Gone series! I will read TKoNLG someday, I have to if its one of David's favorites! Also Unwind.

[David, Mr. Blue Eyes; He's the Best--Ain't no lie!! ;)]

Good call Jenny, that series definitely gets better with each book!

Omg Jenny, you've GOT to read Chaos Walking!!!!! My obsession with this series runs deep :)

Incarceron (MUST READ) and Uglies.

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

I loved Incarceron and Sapphique, but it seems to get a lot of mixed reaction. I also liked Uglies!

Don't worry, David, I will read it! Its always checked out at the library though. I will probably have to put it on hold.

Ummm is the only one I can think of at the moment...oh, and (They're third person aren't they??)

A glance through my shelves gives me these:

Very well-written YA fantasy. (And if you like YA fantasy, Tamora Pierce is the go-to author for the genre; her books are third-person too.)

Underrated indie YA dystopia. I can't pass up a chance to recommend this book.

Third person, multiple POVs. YA sci-fi time-travel dystopian with an autistic main character.

Another book I can't pass up a chance to recommend. YA sci-fi with dystopian elements.

Post-apocalyptic dystopia from a few years ago.

YA fantasy. I haven't actually read this one, but it's been sitting in my TBR pile for ages.

Indie YA urban fantasy with muses.

Another from the TBR.

Sci-fi from the TBR. I haven't read this one, but I read and loved a pair of non-YA fantasy novels (I hesitate to call them "adult" fantasy novels because that brings to mind an entirely different genre) by the same author.

More sci-fi from the TBR. I've heard a lot of good things about this one.

My book is also in the third person, but I'm always hesitant to bring up my own books in these discussions - I don't want to look like I'm shoving my books down anyone's throat or anything.
