Top Ten Tuesdays is a weekly meme hosted @ The Broke And The Bookish. This week we can do a list about any topic of our interest(it's freebie week), so I have been thinking about books I would recommend to a new YA reader. This days more and more readers are begin to have interest in YA lit driven by the themes, the characters and all the exposure this genre is having. Monday I posted(for Musing Mondays at Should Be Reading) about reasons people are seen appeal in reading YA. One appeal is the good series and books, and that is why I want to recommend this series and/or books:
1. The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare - This series is great, and never, never boring!
2.Percy Jackson and The Olympians- Real fun
3.The Giver(1994 Newbery Medal), Gathering Blue, The Messenger by Lois Lowry- These are companion books.
4.The Forrest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan - Dead Tossed Waves (2nd book) and The Dark and Hollow Places (3rd book)
5.The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
6. Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead - The more recent book is Last Sacrifice (Book # 6)
7.Cathy Vickers Trilogy by Jordan Weisman.
8. Forgotten by Cat Patrick - Not a series but I really like it.
9. The Chocolate War by Robert Cormier
10. Dust by Joan Frances Turner - Frail will be the 2nd book of this series.
Hope you enjoy this list. These are great additions to your TBR list.
