Now some of the books in black don't necessarily mean I won't ever read them, it's just some are books I don't recognize (especially when the series name is different from the name of the actual books). The series that I've read a few books from, and the rest are still in black means that its a series I have no wish to continue (Need, I'm talking about you!).
Are there any of the books in black that you feel like talking me in to reading? I love a good book reading dare!

Love this list! I'm definitely going to do it over on my blog (www.themantisconnection.blogspot.com) today or tomorrow! There are tons of books on this list that I don't recognize and I'm excited to look up. Watch, my list will be like a few "read" books and the rest will be "want to read!"
ReplyDeleteOh, but I also wanted to let you know that, although the Uglies series by Scott Westerfeld is called a trilogy, there are technically 4 books (the fourth one is called Extras). I've read all of them and loved them, although I think Pretties (#2) was not as good as the others. So just make sure you give Extras a chance, too. I mean, if you like the first 3. A lot of people on Goodreads seem to give Uglies a good rating and then go downhill from there, but I gave Pretties 4 stars and 5 stars to all the others!
Oh, and I have two suggestions for you. They're YA, but not on this list. The first is Glow, by Amy Kathleen Ryan. I won an ARC through Goodreads, but it was released just a couple weeks ago. It's set in space where two ships are on their way to New Earth, to try to save the human race. But one ship is having trouble reproducing, and therefore take drastic measures. I don't want to go too much more into it, but it is such a good book!
ReplyDeleteThe second one is Hourglass, which I just borrowed from a friend and really loved. It's by Myra McEntire, and is about a girl who is constantly seeing ghosts. With this one, I really don't want to get into details, because I think with this book, the less you know going in, the better. But there's so much more to it than ghosts.
Oh, wait! One more suggestion. Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins. No supernatural/Sci-Fi elements (I really love those elements, so I had to remind myself that the characters weren't going to turn into werewolves or go to a distant planet or something), but a really snarky protagonist and a sweet love story.
Okay, now I'm done with my super-long comments! ;)
what a great list! haven't heard of many of these, but i have read quite a few. i may just make my own :)
ReplyDeletei wish you'd consider reading Princess Academy - that one was a surprise to me, and i really enjoyed it!
I added this list to my blog as well. I highly recommend Armstrong's Darkest Powers trilogy, and I read the first book of the Last Survivors which was pretty good. The second book sounds great-I'm excited that it takes place in NYC. I'm obsessed with that city.
ReplyDeleteI really need to get to Shannon Hale and John Green. I haven't read a single book by them. I own An Abundance of Katherines and The Goose Girl, so those will probably be my firsts by them.
