YA Backlist Bookclub discussion

Please feel free to post suggestions in here for books that can go onto the polls each month. Popular and common suggestions will be added onto the polls to vote for.

Please only choose books that have been out for several months/years. We don't read brand new releases here.

I highly recommend "There in the Moon Mist by Lee Ann Ward. Imagine your life being changed and you have no way out. Your world is in complete chaos and you have very little say about anything. You are Lacy Grayson...welcome to the Reverend Way's Commune. I feel this book is a definite must read.

Dorothy Must Die by Danielle Paige and The age of Miracles by Karen Thompson Walker

What about the Shatter Me series by Tahereh Mafi? Or The Kiss of Deception by Mary E. Pearson.

I loved Dorothy must die!!! I can't wait for December 2016!!!!

Thanks for the suggestions so far everyone! Standalones will be polled every month, and new series' will be polled when the current one is finished :)

I really liked the Shatter Me series!! And i have been wanting to read Dorothy Must Die for some time now!!

Sabriel by Garth Nix (the first book in the Abhorsen series) is another one i reeeeeally want to read but just gets pushed aside.

And in terms of standalones- books by Neil Gaiman!(?) His books have been on my tbr list for a while now and i have not gone back to read them but i have heard great things!

Thanks for the ideas... also, any particular Neil Gaiman books you'd like to see on future polls?

Hmm.. Neverwhere and/or Stardust :)

I have been wanting to read the 'His Dark Materials' series by Philip Pullman (golden compass) for years now... and also the Champion trilogy by Marie Lu

I have a question: would you all like to just read fiction novels each month, or would it be fun to have some graphic novels and non-fiction books added into the polls sometimes too? I'll go with the group majority... let me know!

I'd go for reading some graphic novels, not too sure on non-fiction books though.

Series I'd love to read/reread:

The Calling
His Dark Materials
Graceling
Breathe
Snow Like Ashes
The Lord of the Rings

Standalones I'd love to read/reread:

Night Film
Fight Club
The Book Thief
Looking for Alaska
Life of Pi
The Hobbit

Oops, think I got carried away there ^

Series:
Darkest Powers trilogy by Kelley Armstrong

Darkness Rising trilogy by Kelley Armstrong

Something great about these two trilogies is that they "come together" in The Rising!

Mara Dyer trilogy by Michelle Hodkin

Standalones:
All the Birds, Singing by Evie Wyld
A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman
The House at the End of Hope Street by Menna van Praag
Foxfire: Confessions of a Girl Gang by Joyce Carol Oates
White Oleander by Janet Fitch

Non-Fiction:
The Geek Feminist Revolution by Kameron Hurley
Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer
The Girls of Atomic City: The Untold Story of the Women Who Helped Win World War II by Denise Kiernan

Me too! I love the enthusiasm.

I keep seeing The Raven Cycle series by Maggie Stiefvater all over Goodreads and it looks like it would be an inersting read although it's four books rather than a trilogy.

I would also be intersted in reading the Abhorsen series by Garth Nix (I read them years ago but recently found out that more were released) but again it is not a trilogy.

We could do three quartets in a year instead of four trilogies.

Other quartets:

Doon series by Carey Corp and Ruth Rendell

I also saw someone nominate
The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer

A trilogy I've wanted to re-read, and would love to talk about with the community
The Madman's Daughter by Megan Shepherd

Thanks for all the suggestions so far guys.

We can definitely read duos or quartets instead of trilogies, there's no limit, it just happened that this year the winning choice each month was a trilogy.

I've made a note of all these options for future polls :)
