and..




Black and Clare are buds, they sometimes give nods to each other in their books. White Cat (Curseworkers by Black) has a mention of a character that looks like one of Clare's and in the first TMI when Clary and Jace are in the carriage on the way to the Silent City they see some homeless kids sitting in a park or something, one has a lot of piercings. Those characters are the ones from Valient by Black.
Once again I didn't like them nearly as much but they're set in a similar universe that the authors kinda pretend is the same one.
Similar to TMI is The Demon Trapper's daughter, little better too in my opinion. And similar to TID is Girl in the Steel Corset (also a little better imo lol)
Fire and Graceling are by far my favourite YA books to ever come out, definitely worth a read.



Good choice! I just want to push the Demon Trappers Daughter again though, it's very good, especially after TMI. Also I see no one actually really said the Hunger Games yet which is odd. HG blows most YA out of the water (excited Graceling and Fire IMO)

Tales of the Otori: Across the Nightingale Floor by Lian Hearn is a suprisingly compelling story set in feudal Japan involving teens, swords, and magic--awsome. Like Memoirs of a Geisha, at first I thought I wouldn't be interested in the setting, but boy was I wrong since I loved them both.
For something from the classical vein, Anthony Trollope's The Small House at Allington, a part of the Barchester Chronicles, is a bittersweet Victorian version of YA romance and I enjoyed all the books in the loosely related series.

I think I don't bother recommending The Hunger Games to anyone because I assume if you love YA books then you've already read them! But of course, everyone should absolutely read them!

Same here! Probably the case for everyone on the list really, but just in case this person didn't get them yet I figured it needed to be said at least once :P
Likewise when I look for recommendations in YA I make sure to say something like "aside from the Hunger Games" at the end of the post :P
