Teen Readers discussion

If you are wondering if a book is worth reading, ask here!

Is "An Abundance of Katherines" by John Green worth reading?

I’ve heard of that book, it sounds good but I haven’t read it. Sienna, I heard you like the red queen series, is it any good?

Has anyone read Six of Crows - Leigh Bardugo?

Six of Crows is a great book! I highly recommend it.

Okay, thank you!!

Np! I hope you enjoy it

Has anyone read Infinite Sea and The Last Star from a Christian point of view? The Fifth Wave wasn't super clean, so I was wondering if it got better or worse.

I actually liked "An Abundance of Katherines". It was not one of my favorite John Green books that I have ever read. "Turtles All The Way Down" has been my all-time favorite. Although I am a little biased, I love all John Green books! I would say to try it for sure :)

@Harper Nicole I only read the 5th Wave and didn't read any further, I think it gets worse from the reviews I read, but I'm not 100% sure

Okay, thank you!

the red queen series is really good!

Oh, man! I need to read that so bad! I just haven't had the time to get into it.

I'm on the third book and it just keeps getting better!

I also really need to read that

i wanna read the red queen series so bad. but I’ve heard mixed reviews so i don’t know

same here, i recently read the first book and it was okay but reading the sequel doesn't make me the least bit excited
so i quit

has anyone read The Book Jumper?

Is The Book Thief a good book?

@Clara:
I just bought it, but I haven't had the chance to read it yet.

@Clara- I know that not everybody liked it, but I loved the Book Thief and at one point it was my favorite book.

Has anyone read Everything Everything? Is it worth reading?

Yea! It's good!

I love Everything Everything. It was such a sweet story but also makes you think!

Definitely read Everything Everything! It’s so cute but also intriguing and the doodles/extra features throughout the book really add something extra special to the experience!! For sure worth it!! :)

I didn't really enjoy Everything, Everything, the ending was terrible in my opinion.

I agree I didn’t like everything everything either. The ending was horrible

Hello! Is "The List" by Siobhan Vivian a good read? It seems pretty interesting, I'm curious others have to say about it.

Harper Nichols— I actually really liked the last couple of books in the 5th Wave trilogy. I read them a solid two years after finishing the first book though, so I can’t exactly make a fair comparison, but if you like sci fi in general you’ll likely enjoy those books. They aren’t Christian books, but I don’t specifically remember any of that gray morality that’s so popular in YA now. Hate that whole “bad is good and the ends justify the means” thing.

Has anyone read Caraval I own it so I'm obviously going to read it, but want to know whether to expect to like it or not

Has anyone read The Lunar Chronicles?

Isabel, I figured it out, but please specify who you are responding to, as there were a few questions before. You can do this by clicking the reply button on the user's comment, or addressing them in your comment. Thanks, Leah

Sorry, I think I did this wrong last time, but yes, it's amazing! It's very modern day, with a few robotics and running from the law and space fiction, take on common princesses, like snow white or rapunzel. Very great series, I'd definitely recommend it! :)

@Isabel oh well yeah I probably did this wrong but I’m on Cress rn and I’m definitely finishing the series because I love it but if you’ve read Stars Above and Fairest, are they worth reading?

They aren't necessary to really love and understand the series, but their fun to read! Stars Above is a few interesting short stories, but I liked Fairest a lot more because it focussed on one of the main characters and it really give you an insight into her life. If you have time (and don't have an overflowing list of books to read, like me:) it's definitely a good read and worth it!

Has anyone read any books by Tamora Pierce?
They're super good!

@Mahalia I just started Tempest and Slaughter by her!

Not sure if you are still wondering, but I've read the Caraval series and it was absolutely incredible! Probably one of my all time favorite series!

omg it's so amazing

Nari--MedievalPrincess wrote: "Does it have a sequel?"

Yes! The series is made up of three books:
#1- Caraval

#2- Legendary

#3- Finale

Hey so I got the full The Mortal Instruments series for Christmas. I’m going to read it ofc but just give me a heads up—is it worth it?

Yes definitely! I love that series! It’s totally worth it.

Red Queen is bomb! Sienna convinced me to start reading it, and now I'm obsessed.

Yeah it’s real good!
