I haven't read Unwind yet, but from the synopsis, I think The Darkest Minds might be similar. At any rate, it was a really good book.

[Kate]

I'm looking for a contemporary novel- either lighthearted and funny like Life in Outer Space by Melissa Keil and six impossible things by Fiona Wood or something similar to the Fault in our Stars by John Green
Thanks :)

Maybe something like Stoner & Spaz

[Imasha]

Tiger's Curse by Colleen Houck is a fantasy romantic-adventure with a bit of action. It's my all-time favorite book. It's amazing:)

Flash Burnout is funny and serious both. It's a great book.

[Eliza]

Wither is another good dystopian.

[Stormy]

I'm looking for something similar to Divergent or in the dystopian genre.

Not sure what you have already read, but you might be interested in the Chaos Walking Trilogy, which starts with The Knife of Never Letting Go. I also enjoyed Ship Breaker.

[Kate]

Maybe Uglies? I really enjoyed it for dystopian fiction

[Stormy]

Thanks! Dystopian wise I have read aside from Divergent: Hunger Games, Delirium, the selection, the matched trilogy, and am about to start legend.

I will definitely try those two series out though!

An amazing book to read is "cross my heart hope to live" by carmen Reid !! Hardly anyone has heard of it so I'm trying my best to get it more popular! it truly is an amazing book set in the Second World War ... it's the story of a fifteen year old girl who lives in Brussels and when the nazis take over she can't stand it... I don't want to ruin it but PLEASEEE read it it's amazing :) it has adventure , tragedy, suspense and romance :D read read READDD

[Stormy]

That actually sounds pretty interesting! Even though WW2 period books are incredibly depressing, at the same time they are also very interesting. I'm a history buff so that might just be right down my alley.

[Yvonne]

I would recommend the Book: The Broken Gift

"This is certainly an eye-opener of a book. For anyone who might be concerned, how can attempting to answer some of the major questions of the Bible be considered anti-Christian? This will give the reader quite a mental workout, and it is very much recommended. "

The latest series I read that I just could not put down was Pure. It's pretty dark but original. It sucked me in and took me there. And it's so convincing! You could almost believe that this is the future. Definitely worth the read.

[Trish]

So I hate to double post but I don't see another board to ask this. I keep seeing Uglies pop up in peoples lists of must read books. I tried it once and got maybe a quarter of the way through it before I just couldn't take it anymore. Does it get better or have some redeeming quality?

[Imasha]

Tiger's Curse by Colleen Houck.

The best series ever written.
Beautiful Passionate Romance
Heart-pounding adventure
Dangerous battles
A cliffhanger that'll make u want to die.

[Kate]

Trish- in relation to your uglies comment, it does get better and worse at the same time in my opinion. I read the whole series and enjoyed it, though some of the plot twists I did NOT agree with, but if you're looking for a book to read that is interesting and dystopian, uglies is a good option
Hope that helps :)

[Trish]

Much appreciated! It's one that I'm sure I'll end up reading eventually because it keeps popping back up but there are so many mixed reviews. I'm reading Chaos Walking series now and thoroughly enjoying it!

[Julia]

I'm looking for suggestions. I've read too much lately about war, abuse, bleakness, sadness, dystopias, death, mental illness, PTSD.

For instance: Smoke, A Fort of Nine Towers: An Afghan Family Story, Boy21, Shanghai Girls, The Laramie Project. Each is very, very good, but together it's too much.

Any recommendations for books about puppies and kittens-- where they don't die?

I saw you had An Abundance of Katherines and The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks marked as to-read. I thought both were funny and (mostly) light-hearted. I also really enjoyed Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging for a humorous diversion.

[Kate]

I second "An Abundance of Katherine's"- its one of my favorite books and no-one dies :)

[Julia]

I'm pretty sure I've read An Abundance of Katherines, The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks and Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging. If I haven't, it'll be new and fun to me. If I have, it won't be new, but it'll still be fun. Thanks for the suggestions!

[Nathan]

Hey guys :3 Looking for a steampunk / Victorian steampunk book. Standalone or series.

I've already read The Infernal Devices by Cassandra Clare :)

[Olivia]

I would like to read a book that doesn't involve depressing deaths because I have read to much of that lately, any suggestion

The Golden Compass has some steampunk elements.

Soulless is a fun supernatural take on steampunk.

[Julia]

It's not Victorian, it's forty or fifty years later, but have you read The Diviners by Libba Bray ? It has great characters, steampunk elements, is also very good as historical fiction and hello, it's this month's YA read.

The hollow trilogy by jessica verday were really good books to read.

[mo]

looking for fantasy with queer characters (can be a minor character, i bought heroes of olympus just because nico is bi so i'm not picky) who's story isn't all about being queer

[Julia]

Here are some fantasy titles with LGBTQ characters that have a plot, they are the main characters not secondary, in no particular order:

Luck in the Shadows

Swordspoint

Magic's Pawn

The Porcelain Dove

Dancers Of Arun

And a bonus sf book Different Light/a.

[Miranda]

I just read Alienated by Melissa Landers and trust me, you will love it!

[stephanie]

scott westerfeld's leviathan series is totally steampunk. and has cool characters. though i haven't finished the first book because i had to return it to the library and then got distracted. but, yes. hah.

[Shaili]

I recommend the house of night series:))

[Leigh]

I just read We Were Liars and enjoyed it specially the twist at the end. Also kinda like the twist in Gone Girl? Can you recommend other books like this 2? Thanks!

[Lili]

I am currently on the lookout for cool books about demons -- or, more appropriately, half-demons since fallen angels and Nephil have been done to death! Any recommendations?

[Ashlee]

Have you read ? It's classic Armentrout - enjoyable page-turner/guilty pleasure type book.

Also, I haven't read ,
or but they're all on my to-read list and are supposed to be really good.

Also, I know you're over angels but if you haven't read I would definitely recommend it - it's a very unique take on the whole fallen thing and there's a lot of demon stuff in it too (and it's Aussie so I'm kind of proud of it lol)

Possibly JUST CALL MY NAME by Sloan

but better still JUMPED IN by Patrick Flores-Scott.

Jumped IN is a TX high school award winner (TAYSHAS) and I loved it.

[Madeline]

For anyone who enjoys fantasy or science fiction, I would definitely recommend, The City of Embers. It was a very well crafted plot and structure, and is just an overall awesome novel :)

[Julie]

I recommend Aschwood Academy by M.B. Cohen. It's an awesome fantasy/ adventure series. This is the first book and I can't wait for the next one! Great storyline and humor! About a magically boarding school and told from different points of view. A fun quick read. I noticed its on sale for the next few days too .99 cents!

I need a good contemporary stand alone! Preferably something underrated, but still has a bit of buzz :)

[Carolyn]

I just finished A Night Divided by Jennifer A. Nielsen. It was so good but also informative about the life's of the Berliners on the East side of the Wall.

[Theo]
