Connecting factor : Both are dystopian and have elements of action, violence and the struggle to escape. HG is better, but it's hard to equal HG.

Connecting factor : Both are about social climbing New Yorkers, even though BB is PNR and Luxe is historical.

Connecting factor : Both are Urban Fantasy set on the east coast. Both authors have similar writing styles (they are even friends and edit each other's books). Male characters have similar wounded hero appeal. Jace from MI even has a hidden alternate world mention in White Cat.
I know some of you have great ones to rec. Some of you are as big or even bigger readers than I am.
Poison Study is amazing. Good catch!
Yeah it's a great series. I'm gunna have to read it again.
I actually liked it better than Graceling, but both Valek and Po are !!!
Stacia, if I may, let me tell you I love you for this!!! xD
Thank you Stacia! This is a great idea. I've been wanting to read White Cat, and I loved MI, so I'm glad to hear I might enjoy it.
Thanks Katty and Sasha. :)If you like

Connecting factor : They're both dystopian books. The stories are not the same, but most people that love HG also really enjoy Unwind for many of the same controversial reasons. In the future abortion has been outlawed, but parents can opt to give their teens over while still alive to be "unwound" by letting the government harvest their body parts for medical purposes.
@ Stacia, sorry for my ignorance, but I believe I never completely understood what dystopian is... I've always related them with chaos or something, well, actually like a difficult situation and the will of the characters to survive or so, am I getting it wrong?

I just thought of this one recently: If you like
, you'd probably like
. They're both historical fantasy, though as far as I can tell, the world of Brightly Woven is a product of the author's imagination. Wildwood Dancing seems like it could be set in our world.
@ Katty,This thread will probably clear it up a bit. I wanted to know more about it myself not too long ago.

There's also a ton of dystopian books listed in there, with differing opinions. It was a good discussion.

.Connecting factor : They are both Urban Fantasy, which is rare for YA, since most paranormal books in YA are paranormal romance. It's nice to see some series getting down with the action. Both Clary in MI and Claire in Morganville are sort of wimpy heroines in books 1 of their respective series, and have to learn how to stand up for themselves over time. Both stories involve a group of teens living together unsupervised.
Stacia, this is a GREAT idea! Love! And it's helpful!

Connecting factor : Both books feature teens living among other teens. They both also include multiple races and talents/abilities, as well as a female lead that isn't sure who she can really trust.
If you liked
Then you'd probably like
Connecting Factor : Both set in a Post-Apocilyptic (sp?) world with a controlling goverment.
Please guys, feel free to add your books. :)It doesn't matter if the book has been used before (like we've done Hunger Games a few times).

(series).In my opinion, you would have to like Morganville Vampires if you like House of Night. I love HON, but Morganville is way better written.

Both main characters have angel blood.
Did you read Boneshaker? I've read Leviathan, but only got about halfway through BS. I liked what I read so far, but just didn't have time to finish before it went back to the library, same with Incarceron, which I've gotten to the halfway point on twice now, lmao.
I've read part of it just like you Stacia. My A.D.D. is acting up or something. lol
It has a harder sci-fi feel, so it's not the easiest one to get into. I actually was liking it and had just gotten past the part where the son was off on his own and at some point will have to go back and read it out of curiousity.
I liked it... I just get sidetracked sometimes.
