My Top 10 YA Must-Read Books for 2016
I don't know about you, but I often get overwhelmed with the amount of YA novels I'd like to read. (Or any book, for that matter.) And when I get overwhelmed ... I tend to procrastinate.
In other words: I neglect to read any of the books I'd like to read simply because I can't decide which one to read first.
I know, it sounds ridiculous. But please don't tell me I'm the only one who does this.
So, I've narrowed down my top YA books I'd like to read this year.
And they are ...
1. "Lola and the Boy Next Door" by Stephanie Perkins
2. "The adoration of Jenna Fox" by Mary E. Pearson
3. "In Between" by Jenny B. Jones
4. "To All the Boys I've Loved Before" by Jenny Hann
5. "The Lies About the Truth" by Courtney C. Stevens
6. "Parallel" by Lauren Miller
8. "To Get to You" by Joann Bischof
9. "Remember to Forget" by Ashley Royer
10. "Storm Siren" by Mary Weber

What are your top YA must-read books for 2016? Have you read any of the books on this list?
Procrastinating is not ridiculous, I can totally just sit there and stare at the books that I want to read and spend FOR-EVER picking the one to begin with :D.
ReplyDeleteOoo, I remember reading 'In Between', it's really good! All my sisters and I read it and loved it. 'Storm Siren' is also one I enjoyed. Some of the books you have on your list I now want to read just because of the cover (or interesting title)! I am guilty for judging books by their covers :).
Haha, same here! =p I've started reading "In Between" and love it so far. I'm a huge fan of other books by Jenny B. Jones. =)
DeleteHi Tessa! I'm Savannah's younger sister, Jaidyn! I just wanted to tell you that ' In Between' is a really great book, and I hope you enjoy reading it!! :-)

Hi, Jaidyn! I have a feeling "In Between" will probably fall under my "favorites" category based on the high recommendations it's received. =) I might post a review of it when I'm finished.
DeleteThanks for stopping by!
Tessa
Your welcome!

Hey Tessa, I liked Lola and the Boy Next Boy. It's a really cute story. And I've read the other story in the series or that takes place in the same universe, not sure how to word that. You can't go wrong with Stephanie Perkins.
ReplyDeleteI've heard people love her books, especially "Anna and the French Kiss". I started reading that book a couple years ago, however for some reason it didn't keep me flipping through the pages. I did love her writing style and voice, though!

I do not read YA but I get you completely! I have so many books I wanna read that it gets overwhelming at times cause I simply can't decide what to read.
ReplyDeleteExactly! This is one reason why I prefer print over Kindle. When I see all of the books on my Kindle shelves that I've yet to read (most of which I downloaded for free or discounted), I can't decide on one! Or I flip through the beginning of multiple books and never read all the way through. I don't think I had this problem when I only read print books, lol =)
DeleteMy TBR piles always seem to get out of hand, too! This list seems like a good way to narrow things down, though...
ReplyDeleteI LOVED Jenny B. Jone's "There You'll Find Me", so I'll be curious to hear what you think of "In Between".
"There You'll Find Me" is one of my absolute favorite YA books! Her Charmed Life series were some of my favorite books as a teen as well. I love her sense of humor. =)
DeleteI checked out "To Get To You," and I want to read it so badly!
ReplyDeleteI read "Storm Siren" and really enjoyed it. I have yet to read the sequel, though. I really should.
I've heard a lot of good things about "To Get To You"! That will probably be one of the next books on my reading list. I'll let you know what I think of it! =)
