Good Books for Picky Teenagers! discussion

What books are good reads that don't have sex, fondling, or excessive swearing in them?

(all 3 of these are good)




Some light swearing in all of these (except Matched) but nothing really huge.

These are some of my favorite books, and are highly recommended on the cleanliness front :)

Oooooh! I want to read Uglies sooooo bad! :D THX!

I want to read Uglies so bad too! I'm glad that it is a clean book by the way.

me too! I was afraid it'd be dirty. Is this book clean to read?

Here's a few more good ones:

No, as I recall it was clean.

Uglies I mean.



Does clean mean nonviolent too?
Unwind has a tough issue in it.

Clean usually means no sex or inappropriate situations. But if you want to warn about violence too, it wouldn't hurt anything. :)

Unwind is pretty violent so just to let you know then.

okay. violence is okay for me. but some people don't like it... :) thanks!

The Kingdom series and The Knights of Arrethtrae are really good. Christian allegories that seems like it's in the Middle Ages. (They don't have a certain time period) Whoever has not read these should.

cool, thx! :)

such a fantastic book!

I love that book!

XD Just finished reading it! I heart Jason!

Ikr? I think I read it in the spring. It was so good. Now I have to get my sister to read it.

(:

Make her! (;

Hmmm.. Most of the books i read now are young Adults, but you guys may like these:

Into the Wild

The Name of this Book Is Secret

The Ruins of Gorlan
(^ This book has a tiny bit of swearing and some fighting in it. They only used The D word and I think the H word isnt a bad word really. I believe they yused the bad words about 3 times maybe less?)

THE CLIQUE SERIES

The name of this book is secret sounds good

I read that...

Oh, it is good. ;)

I love how everyone has read what I've read. It's nice to know I'm not alone. (:

I loved how she would talk to the trees and I really didn't like Paulie T.

I almost read Ida B but I didn't. I really can't remember why. lol I'll get it next time I got to the libary. The Name of This Book. Is awesome! Thats whole series is good.

It's historical fiction so there are some evil people in it but otherwise good.

-The Hunger Games series
-The Left Behind series
-"Choosing to SEE" by Mary Beth Chapman
-"The Shack" by a person (I forgot who they are)
-The Love comes softly series

and I have lots more that I would like to list!!! :D

I <3 the hunger games!

Same!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

A Tale dark and Grimm. It's a mix of the Grimm Fairy tales into one story. It's really good!

oooohhh! those sound so good!

Going to read Pennys from Heaven soon! I think..

Matched is clean! I don't think I even remember there being any curse words for you guys who don't like that.

There isn't. That one of the things I loved about it! :D

Hey, everyone, I have a suggestion; should we start putting these on our bookshelf?

I haven't heard about it...

OMG!!! you haven't? It is AWESOME!! :P

I'll add it to my to-read shelf then :D

okay! let me know if you like it! I can't wait to read Crossed! :D

I'm dying to read Matched! I'm so going to the library soon. :)

Has anyone read Before I Fall? Was it clean?

Yep. It was really good. I'm fairly certain there was nothing bad in it.

It was actually beyond fantastic. Just letting you know...

So far Beautiful Creatures is completely clean and it looks like it's going to stay that way.

A small town boy who wants to be anywhere else then there. He has been dreaming about falling and this girl who always slips his grasps. He wakes up with mud and the small of lemons and rosemary.

Then comes in the girl from his dreams. She's moved in the "haunted" mansion with her old crazy uncle who never leaves. His own father is the same way since his mother died but he has Amma who is very superstitious....

I read one of the reveiws on it and it said there was a 'scene' in it. But I've never read it just going by reviews.

Hmmm... I really don't remember anything.... maybe I filter these things out?

One of my best friends read it and loved it but sometimes she is fine with things I'm not. She always gets me a book for my b'day and she reads the books before she gives them to me to make sure I'd like. :)

Uglies was really good and I'm almost done with The Cardturner:A Story of a King,Queen,and a Joker. Its clean except for three(maybe,didn't really count) curses and using the Lord's name. There was a mention of some guy being the father of a lady and the two main characters sharing a room(Not sexually). Its a really good book. Very funny too.
