great..!!...its a good book you know...loads of teenage drama..and fighting..another good series is the "existence series" by abbi glines...its a triology the first book is existence..you may like it..

thanks!

Some good ones are Medusa Girls, and The Riyria Revelations are especially high up in my "you should read this" list. If you want something to grab you I love the author Sarah M. Eden my favorite novel of hers being The Kiss of a Stranger. Then if your looking to be entertained by some very good morbid humor and adrenaline thrill read 'I am Not a Serial Killer' one of the best YA reads I've ever read.

The Luxe series is great if you haven't already read it and you like historical fiction. The Selection is AMAZING! If you just want a fun, addicting book then it's a good one. Some people might think this is kiddish but The Heroes of Olympus series is great, of course if you have already read Percy Jackson. It is a little more grown up than the Percy Jackson series and it's got great humor!

I have them all! I am going to read them soon though!

I do not know what you are saying

cool. Maybe I will check the first one out from the library

Eragon is probably one of my favorite books, but in the whole series I would have to say that the third one is the best out of the four. And whatever you don't fall out of them during the second one, even though I will admit in one place it does drag. (If you don't like the second one, just read the re-cap at the begining of the third, supposedly their's enough review, I don't thinks so though)

ok, I will try to remember that. Thanks!

You know what I just found?!? Death Sworn is by one of my favorite authors Leah Cypess, and if you haven't read any of her stuff, it'll give you one amazing thrill ride, I highly recommend her.

who is it by?

I reccomend The Selection

Thirteen Reasons why, before I fall, If I stay, Eleanor and Park, Please ignore Vera Dietz (I think thats what its called, I forget how to spell her last name), wintergirls, its kind of a funny story, shiver, anna and the french kiss. (Note some of these books I have just started reading and they're amazing so far..)

I have read before I fall and shiver and I thought both were amazing!! I will have to take a look at your other suggestions. have you read the fault in our stars?

The unwind series by Neal shusterman is really good!!!!!!

The Sea of Tranquility! I've read it like 3 days ago and I still could not move on. It's just that amazing!

I just read Fangirl from Rainbow Rowell and WOW ! That was just amazing. Seriously, I can't tell you how much I loved this book. At first, when I looked at the cover and everything, I thought it was going to be some cute but kind of cheesy story, the kind of story you enjoy while reading it but forget about it as soon as you've finished it. But GOD I was wrong ! Fangirl is so much more than that. It's such a beautiful story, with adorable characters. Anyways. You MUST read Fangirl, I promess it's a wonderful book that won't disappoint you !

Maybe i will have to try it :)

Fangirl is AMAZING!!!!

I recommend Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein. It's honestly my favorite book ever

nope, I havnt read it. Are you reading it now?

The Virals series is really good . If you like action/mystery books it's a really good book for you. I really liked it and I like more fantasy stuff .

I'll second "Please Ignore Vera Dietz"!
I love AS King's work. I've read all but one of her books, and that's only because I can't seem to track down her book "Monica Never Shuts Up"...she's a great writer who puts cool characters in strange situations. Although out of all her books I've tried, "Reality Boy" was my least favorite, but that's off topic...

"Wintergirls" is another good one. Haunting and a bit disturbing, but worth the read.

I just recently finished Perfect Escape, by Jennifer Brown.

I rated it four stars, and it's been a while since I "really liked" a book! Most of my recent reads have been three-stars. :)
Anyway, this one follows two teenage siblings (17 and 19); and the girl's older brother is dealing with OCD. She becomes determined to cure him by taking him on a road trip across the Midwest, to see her former next-door-neighbor Zoe, hoping that visiting Zoe will take the edge off of his almost-unmanageable compulsions.

A pretty good read, overall!

Havnt read it. Is it good? I would totally reccomend Reckless Magic. It is not as shiny as some books are, but don't judge it by its cover, its price or its popularity. Even though the first one is free on kindle and not very well known, it is one of my absolute favorite books!!!! Please give it a try!!!!

Its a good book, I hope you like it :)

I completely recommend Die for me by Amy Plum it's the first of 3 books and in my opinion the best trilogy ever!

I just finished Cemetery Tours the first in the series by Jacqueline smith. It was great and I'm ready to start the second book.
Jeanne Skartsiaris
Author of Surviving Life

Some favorites:

The Partials series - Amazing, addictive and full of science fiction and post-apocalypse action.
The 5th Wave series - also full of science fiction and action. The second book just dropped last month.
The Delirium Series - Amazing. Can't say I loved how the last book ended but still one of my favorites.
If I stay & Where she went were also wonderful. Very different than most YA books.
Loved The Fault in our Stars and Looking for Alaska
The Birthmarked series
The Eve Series
The Selection Series is cute and fun
The Maze Runner series I also really enjoyed
Oh, and I recently read Not a Drop to Drink which I really enjoyed.

So many wonderful books out there!
