I love reading YA and this year I read so many great books for my 100 book challenge! I thought I'd mention a few of my favourites, though it was hard to choose. Some were recently published, but others go back a few years, because I find out about great books on other blogs as well as while browsing at the library. Here are some of the ones I enjoyed most:
|
I got so immersed in this world and story!
|
|
Such a moving and compelling story!
|
|
I'd love this book even if Susan and I weren't both
MiG Writers. I love books set in other places!
|
|
This series is so much fun! My daughter
and I are waiting for the last one.
|
|
I read three of the Dairy Queen books this year. I really enjoyed
them since I grew up with two brothers who played football.
|
|
This book really made me think.
|
|
An absorbing book (and series) I started
reading on my summer vacation.
|
|
At first, I didn't like this. But once I
got reading, I was intrigued by the story.
|
|
I was really rooting for the boy in this story,
hoping he'd find a way to cope with his OCD and family problems
...and get the girl he was falling for.

I'm looking forward to starting a whole new great bunch of books in 2014! What was your favourite YA read this year?
I loved Scarlet and Dairy Queen. I just finished Boxers by Gene Luen Yang and I started having vivid dreams about it! It must've really grabbed me. I also like In the Shadow of Blackbirds about the Spanish Influenza and Beth Revis' Across the Universe trilogy. I might have to do my own post!
ReplyDeleteKate, these sound so interesting! Now I know what to read next! It's funny, I didn't like Scarlet at all at first, but once I got into it, I just had to finish.
DeleteA lot of these books sound really good and I've added a few to my Goodreads want to read shelf now. Thanks for sharing! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by to comment!
DeleteWhat a great list! I've been reading tons of MG lately, so I'm happy to have these YA titles for my reading list :)
ReplyDeleteI love that we have Scarlet in common. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year 2014 to you!
