Summer reads...

[Madi]

I just finished reading Graceling and am in desperate need of a book. I like young adult books, dystopian and science fiction, but i'll basically read anything. I really liked reading Divergent, The Hunger games, Eleanor & Park, Throne of Glass, The Selection and Graceling.

Any Suggestions?

[Laura]

Gone Series by Michael Grant and the Maze Runner series by Dashner.
I Am Number Four by Pittacus Lore

hope you find a couple you like in there!

[Madi]

Thanks, I have already read I am Number four and The Maze Runner, but I will definetly check out Gone

Any chance you can set your profile to public?
It's really hard to find books for someone if you don't know what they like or even what they've read.

Gone was really good.

You'll probably also like Throne of Glass by Sarah J Maas. It's a high fantasy, there are three books in the series right now but I think it's supposed to have five or six in total, so it will keep you entertained for a long time. It's a lot like Graceling, in the sense that it's a medieval fantasy world.

The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Braken was really good as well. It's a dystopian, and it's the first book of a trilogy.

Also, I really, really enjoyed The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey and it's sequel The Infinite Sea. I believe the third book is coming out soon, it's one of the best science fiction books I've ever read.

You said you already read I am Number Four, so just to let you know the newest book, The Fate Of Ten, comes out September first!

I've read all the books you mentioned, and I read and liked them all (Maybe Elanor & Park wasn't my favorite, but I really loved all the others).If there's any book that you really loved and you think I'd like too, I'd love to know what it is. You can check out my own shelves to see the other books I've read, because we seem to have similar reading styles.

Thanks, I've read all of those! Lol! You might like Enclave, The Testing, Shatter Me, The uglies. I really liked The Darkest Minds, have you read the other two books? Never Fade and In The Afterlight?

Sorry, I am not allowed to. But I'll read anything dystopian or fantasy.

[SarahO]

Try the Lunar Chronicles (Cinder, Scarlet, Cress). It's a good sci-fi fairy-tale retelling.
The Remnant Chronicles (Kiss of Deception, Heart of Betrayal) is fantasy and one of the most amazing series out there right now.

Yes, I have read the sequels to The Darkest Minds. I've also read Shatter Me, and I'm currently working on the second book in that series, Unravel Me. I'll definitely check out The Testing and The Enclave though, thanks!

Since all my suggestions seemed kind of useless, I can name a few more.
Snow Like Ashes by Sara Raasch was an excellent fantasy book, and I'm pretty sure it has a sequel coming out soon, too.
City Of Bones and the rest of the Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare is a given, if you haven't already read those, as well as the prequel series The Infernal Devices, the first book being Clockwork Angel.
If you haven't read Percy Jackson and the Olympians by Rick Riordan, you should get right on that. The first book is called The Lightning Thief, and there is also a sequel series called The Heroes of Olympus.
Lastly, I'd suggest the Daughter of Smoke and Bone trilogy by Laini Taylor and An Ember In The Ashes by Sabaa Tahir.

Though I don't know about the Remnant Chronicles, I completely agree with the Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer that SarahO mentioned earlier. The three books are Cinder, Scarlet and Cress, and the fourth, Winter, will be coming out sometime in the fall. They're a retelling of classic Disney tales, but the science fiction element adds and interesting and wonderful twist. Definitely check those out.

Thanks for the suggestions! I've read the first lightening theft book and the first and second mortal instruments books (I am currently working on City of glass). I haven't read Snow Like Ashes, but I will definetly check it out! You've read Daughter of Smoke And Bones? None, of my friends that read have even heard of it!

You could always try An Ember In The Ashes by Sabaa Tahir- the writing and plot were will executed-, The Anna and the French series by Stephanie Perkins-the novels can be read separately, romance and humour-, The Lunar Chronicles series By Marissa Meyers is on my top 5 anticipated reads for the year(next to ember).

A Court of Thorns and Roses
The False Prince
The Infernal Devices
Delirium
Snow Like Ashes
Shadow and Bone
An Ember in the Ashes
:)

Have you read any Tamora Pierce? If you liked Graceling you might like the Lioness Quartet.

[Gabriella]

These would be my suggestions!
- Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi
- Everyday by David Levithan
- Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi
- The Pledge by Kimberly Derting
- Unwind by Neal Shusterman
Hope one of these is useful!

[TK]

Graceling series is a favorite of mine. You might like The Winner's Curse Series, Red Queen, & Defy series, The Selection series, Thorn of Glass series, Court of Thorns & Roses, Snow Like Ashes, Girl of Fire & Thorns, but be warned the next books in the series are due within 6 months. Other favorites that may of been mentioned, The Forest of Hand & Feet, Birthmark Series, Enclave series, Under the Never Sky, Handmaid's Tale, & Delirium Series (fyi Neal Shusterman is an awesome author). I am here because I am looking for something to read.

In the summer I like to read a lot of contemporary, only because it lifts my spirits. Read some Stephanie Perkins and read the trilogy, 'The Summer I turned Pretty'. Also read some more Rainbow Rowell, he's a really good author.

[♥ Emily ♥]

I'd recommend A Court of Thorns and Roses, Seven Realms series, Heir Chronicles, Girl of Fire and Thorns, Falling Kingdoms, Birthmarked trilogy, Throne of Glass, The Pledge trilogy, and A Book of Spirits and Theives
Those are most of my favorites (And Graceling of course) and they are all amazing

I looked through what everyone else said, and I'd read like 40% of it, and like 50% of it is on my books to read :D
