August 2025- New Series > Likes and Comments

Suggestions MUST fit the theme! In this case, it means it HAS to be the FIRST book in a SERIES, it also CANNOT be a book we have read before!
Each person can suggest ONE book per topic. If you suggest more than one, your first entry will be chosen.
YA books only!
Must be widely available (in print, at libraries, kindle, etc.). It also needs to be available in multiple forms, not only kindle or only print, etc.

If you would like to know what we have read, you can check the list here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...
You can search the list by hitting "control + F" on PCs and "command + F" on Macs, you then type in the title and if we have read it, it will pop up.

If possible, use the "add book/author" link which allows us to see a list of the books and authors.

The voting list will be capped at 15 so even though it COULD stay open until the 5th of July, it may close before then if we get enough suggestions. Thank you!

That's the second book in a series, if it is the one I think it is, and we have read it, but you can recommend it as a re-read!

That book is New Adult, and not YA. Sorry!

Water Wishes: Bound by Tides.

First in the Water wishes Trilogy, just launched today June 27th.

It is about 15 year old Bay who is forbidden from the ocean by her father. If you like mermaids, magic and mystery, it might pull you in.

The Princes Trials by Cordelia K Castel. 5 book series. SO GOOD. Rebel and Prince.

Rite of Passage

I don't see where this is part of a series, you could recommend it for a stand alone!

Do you have the name of the author? I can't find it.

OK I'm working on the 2nd book but will go standalone.

Oh, if you are working on a second, that works!

Sorry I think I might be in two categories now?

No worries, I got it in this one!

Hello Bailey, Water Wishes: Bound by Tides is my novel, so Freya Aguiar is the author 😊.

Unfortunately, it isn't available in more than one format, and only in print. It looks great, though!!! If it becomes available in Kindle and/or Audiobook, let us know so we can put it on a future poll!!!

The End Crowns All by Bea Fitzgerald

The black magician trilogy, severely underrated. Not sure if its listed as ya but its definitely not a kids book and i read it when i was 12, my dad got it for me. Its sooooo good.
