message 730: by Edwin (new)

Edwin (edwinrodarte) | 41 comments I thought book choices had to be from YA novels... or maybe some of these just seem more middle grade and adult. Either way, I haven't read any of those :( Sorry I can't help out.


message 731: by Theo (new)

Theo I updated my post with only YA novels, hope this helps. I don't remember seeing anything stating your 5 had to be YA. I've definitely seen non-YA books in other people's posts before, but maybe by refreshing my titles someone will find one they can recommend.

Do you by any chance get a lot of ARC copies? Because 3 of those aren't even released yet, and the 4th one has only been out a few weeks. That makes it highly unlikely that anyone else has been able to read them yet, and therefore recommend them to you to read next.

Because I always like to be helpful, I took the liberty of comparing your to-read list, with YA books that I've read and really liked and came up with these 5 recommendations for you. (Which was actually a fun twist on this challenge!)

The Girl of Fire and Thorns (Fire and Thorns, #1) by Rae Carson Tell the Wolves I'm Home by Carol Rifka Brunt Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman Openly Straight by Bill Konigsberg

Or of course, you can replace the 3 unpublished with other choices. Let me know if you choose one of my suggestions and I'll post 5. :)


message 746: by Hannah (new)

Hannah (shgmclicious) Just go ahead and post five of your own. I'll skip out this round. Yes, I do get a lot of ARCs. And to-read doesn't mean "accessible" or "currently at home," so I'll just post again another time.


message 748: by Jess (new)

Jess I pick Legend (Legend, #1) by Marie Lu .

My next five:
The 5th Wave (The Fifth Wave, #1) by Rick Yancey Chasing the Valley (Chasing the Valley #1) by Skye Melki-Wegner Exodus by Julie Bertagna The Way We Fall (Fallen World, #1) by Megan Crewe Throne of Glass (Throne of Glass, #1) by Sarah J. Maas


message 749: by Kaylene (new)

Kaylene Jessica I pick The 5th Wave (The Fifth Wave, #1) by Rick Yancey for you!

Antigoddess (Goddess War, #1) by Kendare Blake Promise of Shadows by Justina Ireland The Haven by Carol Lynch Williams Alienated (Alienated, #1) by Melissa Landers Don't Look Back by Jennifer L. Armentrout


message 750: by [deleted user] (new)
