Maybe you are already posting on the general thread. But this would be dedicated to discussing YA novels only. Thanks =D.

Delia's Heart by V.C. Andrews. It is a Library book. I am hoping to have it read before returning it. So far it is still as good as book #1. I love the character Delia. She is a girl from Mexico and I love that she had to learn English all the while she had to deal with the cruelty of a wealthy family treating her as if she is less than. Quite a heavy topic for a teen book.

I am going to read Full Moon-Rachel Hawthorne soon. I just bought it...
Joy: THAT sounds really good. Let me know how you like it ok?
Mod
I read the first one in the series, and thought it was cute. :)
I've been reading the Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan and so far they've been fantastic. It's all based on Greek mythology and full of action and adventure. I know a lot about the mythology already which made it easier to follow but I would recommend them to anyone.
Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan. Am really liking it

Currently listening to the audiobook version of the first book of Cast's House of Night series, Marked.So far, I'm enjoying it.
Well that is good. No crappy YA books so far! I think I will get the next in the "Delia" series by V C Andrews. I think they have it at the LIBRARY.
Shazzy: Let me know how you like it. I sometimes need a break from adult fiction and like the lighter side of YA. Harper Collins seems to be a popular YA publisher. I checked out their site and LOVED the excerpts! Harper Collins Publishing
Just finished The Forst of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan which I really enjoyed
Wow, good deal. I am glad to hear you enjoyed your book. I will keep checking in and see how is goes. I love discovering new YA authors.
Read the Love is Hell anthology recently. Good stuff. :D But a little somber, LOL.
Mod
What kind of YA do you like?
A YA author that a lot of people havent tried, who I genuinely love is Tamora Pierce...
You should look at my young adult shelf on my profile. I have like 200+ books on there... LOL
Joy: That is A LOT! I was reading a YA excerpt on Harper Collins site. I liked it. I believe it was called The Hunger. I;d have to look it up again. I like anything that interests me. But mainly fantasy or like teen issues with some sort of mystery. I grew up reading all those Chris Pike, Diana Hoh, R L Stine books. Teen Suspense and Horror.
Mod
Did you ever read "The last vampire" series by Christopher Pike?
I read it when I was about 12 yrs old, and really enjoyed it!
Joy: I don't remember reading "The Last vampire" by Chris Pike. I am in the process of re-reading Chris Pike though. I loved his books the most after R L Stine.
I am reading Black Cat by VC Andrews but its on hold as I haven't been in the mood for it the last couple days. I do like this series though.
Mod
"
I was never a fan of R.L. Stine..."The Last Vampire" series, and Witch are the only ones I read by Pike...They were both great though... :)
I'm currently reading 1,000 Reason's To Kiss A Boy by Martha Freeman. So far it has been very good.
When I go to the Friends of the Library for my job this afternoon I will go to the Library first to see if they have any more older YA. I always liked Chris Pike. I don't know if they will have his newest series.
Jo and Kenjii: I loved The Summoning! Kelley Armstrong is fantastic!I just finished reading Shadow Kiss (Vampire Academy, #3) and LOVED IT!
Mod
I just finished reading Shadow Kiss (Vampire Academy, #3) and LOVED IT!"
I can't wait until the 25th when the 4th one comes out! I am SOOOoooo excited. :)
I KNOW!!! I have all these books on my list that haven't yet come out. This is why I love GR. It keeps me updated!
Mod

Exactly. I made a few "buying this ____" shelves to keep track of all the books that are coming out in those months. That way each month I click on the shelves and pick which ones I want to buy. It saves a lot of time. :)

I loved the summoning [and I kiss the ground richelle mead walks on!!:] and my mum brought me the second Armstrong darkest trology book! Cant wait to start reading it, but I have library books that I have to finish first!
I love GR for a lot of reasons.I joined mainly because I wanted to know what people thought of certain books, and I wanted to put in my own say!
But there are sooo many good things that come along with GR!
I'm currently listening to Flyte, book 2 in the Septimus Heap series by Angie Sage. I enjoy a fantasy book more if I'm listening to a good narrator who brings the characters to life more than I do just by reading it.
I'm reading Identical by Ellen Hopkins
I liked it. The summoning was also really enjoyable. I'm looking forward to the third one in the series.
I love everything by Kelley Armstrong. The Awakening was a great read. I can't wait for book 3!!
I am about 100pages into it and I like it a lot so far!
I'm quarter the way into A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray. So, far I would say it is a so-so book but I'd hate judge it so quickly.

I got The Forest of Hands and Teeth v Carrie Ryan on reserve for after I finish my latest couple of current reads. Not sure if this was a friend suggestion or a book I spotted in a random search.
Mod
It takes a little while to get into it. By the end of it, I ended up liking it! The second book is much better. I still haven't read the third one though...
I am reading Specials by Scott Westerfeld.
I just finished chosen from house of the night and will start untamed tomarrow I've also kinda been rereading anne of green gabels on my phone

Really? I thought the second one sucked. I found that it just dragged on and on and on.... and when you finally get to the good parts it over too quickly.
I'm not to sure whether I want to finish that praticular series. I may, when I need something to read, but its not a prioritie.

Oh yea I'm reading The Graveyard Book too. I think I'm going back to that one tonight since it's due back next week. yikes!
