Hi everyone!

If you liked , you would like or (an underrated one). Boys in twisted situations!

I've also recently read and , and found both thematically similar.

Sometime ago, I read . Are there other books that sort of resemble it?

[Trish]

If you like Twilight you must read The Survivors

Very captivating!

[Heidi]

If you liked Sloppy Firsts you would like The Boyfriend List: 15 Guys, 11 Shrink Appointments, 4 Ceramic Frogs and Me, Ruby Oliver.

As much as I enjoy this thread and getting ideas for new books from my goodreads friends. Another idea if you are looking for similar books try yournextread.com. It also gives ideas for books you might like.

If you like the Queen Betsy books by MaryJanice Davidson, you might like the Bewitching Mysteries by Madelyn Alt.

OK...Queen Betsy is about vampires and the Bewitching books is about witches, but they are both lighthearted, fun reads. I've had a laugh or two in every book of these two series.

I know this is an older post but i just have to say that Twilight is what got me back into reading too. Before Twilight I didn't read fiction for...7 years! I've finished 2 books this week and on my third. Twilight is flawed and brilliant...

I felt The Hunger Games series was far superior to the Maze Runner series, even though the third book of Maze Runner is not out yet.

[Becca]

Agreed.

Oh my :) I don't think I said it was as good as HG (in fact I think somewhere around here I said that I liked HG much better), but I did enjoy both sets of books and recommended it because in both books it features teens having to escape/live through a situation that they're put in against their will. The only thing about MR that bothered me at first was adjusting to the slang, but I had to adjust to the writing style in Chaos Walking and Gone as well. CW, MR & Gone are all written by male authors and the feel to those series are completely different than HG, and it's not a bad/good thing, it's just a different perspective.

We did MR as a group read in another group, and most of us enjoyed it, so it's likely that everyone has different tastes when it comes to dystopian.

I liked the maze idea and the concept of killer machines that were part bug. Maybe the maze thing awoke my inner child or something.

YAY! I love any book that gets people reading again. That's why I don't understand how so many people have had problems with Harry Potter. If a kid will read an almost 800 page book (the last one) I can't complain. I am working my way through the series for the first time. I am on book 3.

If you liked The Catcher in the Rye, you should read CATCHER, CAUGHT. Shelfari.com just recommended it as one of their four March selections. It shocked the heck out of me as I wrote it, and had no idea the recommendation was coming even though I love Daniel(the 16 year old boy, who tells the story of the year he's diagnosed with leukemia and has just read TCITR).The Catcher in the Rye
Catcher, Caught

I loved Gone and Hunger Games, so I may have to give Maze Runner a shot. I also want to read Ship Breaker.

[Gwennie]

It looks really good. And it's gotten some great reviews from friends, lol.

[Sarah]

The Catcher in the Rye is so much more sophisticated, writing and story, than the Perks of Being a Wallflower. After all the hype, I was very disappointed in Perks, who was he writing the letter to, and didn't it drive you crazy that he had such a simplistic view of life, yet they let him join their group without a believable reason. As a writer myself, characters have to be believable to hook me. Holden is so convincing, even if you think he's making bad decisions, he carries you along with him so realistically.

[Ladyacct]

If you liked Harry Potter you should look at Mortal Instruments.

I absolutely loved the Hunger Games trilogy. This is the first series in a while that actually made me sad when I was done just for the fact that I was done. I'll have to try out Maze Runner.

I think the thing about The Hunger Games that really hooked me was the whole angsty romance in a place where I didn't really expect it. I think that's why HG reminds me so much of Unwind. I liked that book a lot, too.

[Julie]

If you've tried then you'd like

[Jessica]

If you liked the Midnighters series by Scott Westerfeld, you'll like Anthony Horowitz's Gatekeepers series!

[Amanda]

If you liked Unwind, The Hunger Games or Bruiser, you should try Girl in the Arena. I just finished it and I really enjoyed the book. It's definately a darker and emotional novel, reminds me a lot of Neal Shusterman's writing.

[Amanda]

That was one of the downfalls I noticed, you can't tell who is talking sometimes and it's a little annoying, but I did like the book otherwise.

[Arphaxad]

If you liked (or anything else by Tamora Pierce), you might enjoy :)

[Amanda]

If you like anything by Tamora Pierce, you should try something by Sherryl Jordan, like Winter of Fire, The Raging Quiet or The Juniper Game

[Arphaxad]

I really need to try some of Sherryl Jordan's other stuff actually, since I loved so much! Are her others as good as that one, Amanda?

[Amanda]

Winter of Fire is very good also, I would go with that one.

[Arphaxad]

Thanks, I'll add that to the TBR! :)

If you liked The Hunger Games and The Gathering you'll definately appreciate The Judas Syndrome and Rebirth. The characters are 18 and the story is much darker. Book one is told through a male perspective and book two a female POV from book one.
