I set the limit for those who only really have 5, but if you know you have 10, that's even more cool!
Heidi is right, you are a reading machine! Go Jenny!
Hmm.. This is a tough one...1.

This was off the top of my head and will likely change, although my library does have Monstrumologist and Bone, so those will almost for sure happen.
Mod

Sorry, the next Age of X book. I know it is supposed to be 2015 sometime but doesn't look like it even has a title.
Heidi (Yup. Still here.) wrote: "Yay! More Monstrumoligist readers. I love Hex Hall too,"I don't even know what Hex Hall is all about, to be honest haha. I've just been wanting to read a "special school" type of story since Harry Potter and hall of them I've tried have been disappointing. So, the search continues and Hex Hall is next on the list haha.
*Note: I'm not looking for a book/series "like" Harry Potter and it's not comparing them to Harry Potter that's causing my lack of love(at least not consciously).

David, your raving, yours personally, put it at the #1 spot for me instead of somewhere else on the top 10. I wanted to read it before I ever saw you mention it, but how much you loved it(while, I believe, not loving some of Yancey's other work) really sold me).

Ditto. I`m not planning on Reading the got books,saw the first episode and it was too violent for me, People say the books are similar so no thanks. Besides they are so long it would take so long to read them, I would miss out on lots of other books I could be Reading instead.

Got all piled up and staring at me. Just got to find the time...I'm a slow reader too unlike you all. I can manage just about a book a week. Got Games of thrones but never started any -that would probably take me a month to finish!
Mod
Oh wow, I'm late to respond haha. GR decided not to notify me for updates on this thread for some reason.Hopefully this comment will put it in front of others so they'll keep listing. That way I can find more reads and make my list all the more challenging.

Heidi (Yup. Still here.) wrote: "What kinds of reads are you looking for Tommy??"I'm not really looking for anything in particular, I have a HUGE TBR list haha. Just kind of hoping to creep around and steal your guys' books haha.
If I had to answer though, I'd love to read some YA scifi that isn't dystopian/romance. Even if those things play a part, so long as that's not the main focus of the story.
Mod
but then again its not YA.
Boooo...I just realize I don't know a lot of YA sci-fi, thats not dystopian!

I've read the first HG book, but really should read the rest.
And yeah, every scifi YA book I see is either dytopian or heavy on the romance haha. Nothing wrong with that, but I'd love to see some space faring YA stuff.
I liked the underwater world in Katya's world Katya's World. Spaceships in there too. and for time travel scifi The Obsidian Blade - a bit complicated this YA series.
For a Hogwarts-type sci-fi Insignia. Thsi one goes out in space battle.
Those above are without or little romance that I know. Most YA sci-fi do have romance or dystopian. Happy reading :)
See, this is why I love you guys(in a strictly platonic manner, I assure you)!
Mod
These all have a bit of romance in them but it's not the main focus, so hopefully that works? :)

I really loved Leviathan too, it's steampunk and really entertaining.
More Than This was okayyy, although I had very high expectations since it was Ness :)
All Our Yesterdays is a really good read for time travel lovers (and it's a stand-alone, although the author did attempt a sequel but later nixed the idea).
And I'm going to read The Midnighters this month! YAY!
David wrote: "Brigid *Flying Kick-a-pow!* wrote: "Some more suggestions for you, Tommy:[bookcover:All Our Yester..."Agreed on More than This and All Our Yesterdays. Still need to read the other two!
I'm still trying to think of Sci-Fi reads that are not dystopians, and its difficult! I think most that I do read are dystopians! All Our Yesterdays and Unraveling are borderline dystopians. More sci-fi though, definitely!

I've really enjoyed the Lorien Legacies series, it's a great YA sci-fi series that isn't dystopian!
Mod
This is the first book

I agree great series, so you thin Pendragon is more middle grade than Young adult? I would say at first its mg then its more ya.
