You might like or . Both series gave me that otherworld feeling.

[Amber]

Looking for a recommendation for the New,New,New Seasonal Challenge:

Genre? Anything not contemporary

Mood? Nothing that'll make me cry sad tears (happy tears are OK)

Character? Strong female-driven

Must have happy ending - can be a series as long as the series has a happy ending.

NO love triangles. NO insta-love, but some romance is nice.

Amber, maybe give a try? The romance isn't quite what I call insta-love, because it gets explained later on-- I'm not an insta-love person either but I adore this book. The writing is stunning.

[Brandi]

Second Daughter of Smoke and Bone-one of my fave books.

[Kdbrand]

If you like audiobooks, is absolutely magical in that format!

I felt the same way about The Lunar Chronicles. I tried to read it, put it down for months and then picked it up again as an audio book and it was SOOO good. Cinder is probably my least favorite of the 4.

I got into the series right before the last one came out and I was so glad I waited because then I didn't have to wait for the last book. I would suggest trying it again, maybe as an audio book if you like those. I think the narration is really good.

As for me, I'm gonna go with simply because it's the only one available right now on my library's ebook system. The others are all checked out.

[Rachel]

and are two of my favorite YA books of all time. I hope you'll give them a chance!

and might also fit your criteria

[Melanie, looking for a partner in crime]

I need recommendation for the quarterly challenge. I love fantasy books the best, but I am not really looking to start a new series, so definitely a stand alone.

Some my favorites authors are Terry Pratchett, Brandon Sanderson, and Neil Gaiman, so I've probably already read the book if it is by them. Also after reading All the Bright Places, I need a book with a happy ending please.

[Diane]

is one of my favorite YA fantasies. I would highly recomend it. Though there are 3 books in the series it is really like a stand alone because the other two are about different characters in the same world. If you have not read it you should give it a try.

[Heidi]

I agree with Diane

You should try the Falling Kingdoms series, it truly gets better and better. The first book is . I just finished and I'm getting some ideas of what to read from this thread.

Hi guys! I haveno clue where to stick a non book reco because this is most def not a book but simply a random one that I think anyone would enjoy... (hamilton) >https://open.spotify.com/album/1kCHru.......

I envy anyone who gets to see that live. I have listened to it twice. (Btw, the entire soundtrack is great for cardio (by song 21 i was sweating buckets.)

I'm reading the biography it was based on now!

And I LOVEEEE the cast album, I've been listening to it since August and I'm still not tired of it. Lin is a genius.

I need a recommendation for our reading challenge! I'm not sure what I'm in the mood for. Not exceptionally high on romance. It would be awesome if it had a lesbian main character actually. I have a lot of trouble finding books like that which I end up thinking are good. I'd want something where the main character is a lesbian but that is not the entire point of the book. Usually all i can find are coming out stories, or basically stories with no plot but Hey, there's lesbians.
I know this is a YA group not a GLBT group, but I would love some good YA like that if ya'll have any ideas.

[Jenny]

Have you looked at our GLBT thread? https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

[Casey]

Jenny wrote: "Have you looked at our GLBT thread? https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/..."

Yes I had, but none of them really jumped out at me. I've read so many bad GLBT books and honestly most of what people put in that thread they either said they didn't really like or hadn't even read. So I'm hesitant.

Was just hoping maybe one would pop up here that was not there.

This is a male gay character but It is awesome how his sexuality is just part of him not what the story is based on.

It is a great story and I would recommend it.

[Casey]

Sounds interesting! I added it. Got some bad reviews by some friends of mine though but I will see if the library has it.

[Ashley Marie]

Casey, is one of my favorites.

None of are YA but they are all exceptionally well-written. i can say the same for ... would you consider those?

was good... as was .. both YA.

Ooh! Do it, Diane! :)

[Diane]

Thanks - I will. I need a good escape book about now and this just might fit the bill. Besides I already own it and one of my goals this year is to read at least 25 books that I already own :)

I added the first one Thanks! Won't work for challenge but looks good.
The others just don't appeal as much. I'm too picky! Thanks everyone for your suggestions I going to see what the library has.

[Gwennie]

Awesome! Thanks!

Indeed it is. I listened to this series and fell in love, agree with the other poster that the writing is STUNNING... couldn't have described it better.

[Amy]

Trying to decide what to read next. I've had on my TRB list for a while but not sure about it now. Does anyone recommend the series?

Also has anyone read ?

[Kdbrand]

Looking for an audiobook recommendation. Some of my favorite authors are Rick Yancey, Kenneth Oppel, Maggie Stiefvater, and Laini Taylor.

[Hillary]

Not looking for something in particular? Just random audio recs?

If we're doing random audio recs... and the series... the narrators for both were great.

[Kdbrand]

Random works! I will listen to just about anything if the narration is good.

Thanks Ladies! You all have shared some good ones-many are new to me. I'm trying out first.

[Maryjoelisa]

Hi! I've been listening to Patrick Wolf's Oblivion and now can't stop obsessing about this book which name I don't know. Please, tell me you know this story, it must be YA fiction/dystopia. I've read a few pages of the beginning perhaps and this is all I know about the book:

... a girl is on the roof of her house, on a lookout, with a gun. She lives with her father, they have water, others will soon come for the water...

Does this sound familiar, any ideas? Thanks guys.

Sounds like Not a Drop to Drink to me, although she lives with her mom instead of her dad. One of my favorite books!

Shantaram best audiobook ever.

[Maryjoelisa]

Yaaass! It is Not A Drop to Drink, that's the book. Thanks Ashley *Hufflepuff Kitten* and Isamlq. I once dismissed the book but now I'm getting and reading the series.

Oh and by the way, the lyrics say:
...Father, where's my gun?
Now that the war has begun...

Relief to my obsession, thanks.

[Ashley Marie]

I still have yet to read the companion novel but I adored Not a Drop to Drink. have fun!!
