Good Young Adult book series to read?
I just finished the Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare and its prequel, Clockwork Angel and freaking LOVED them. Now, I really want to start a new book series or I might go insane waiting 5 months to read the next books... Anyway, I really want a book series, but a single book is okay too. Preferably something supernatural (witches, fae, vampires, werewolves, demons, angels, etc). I've read the Hush, Hush trilogy, House of Night series, Vampire Academy series, The Hunger Games trilogy, Twilight saga and the Percy Jackson series. No Harry Potter please. I've tried it and didn't like it. Thanks!
Reccomend Me A Good Young Adult Fantasy Book Series To Read?
I really like reading YA fantasy. (not like twilight) I like it when theres action, romance, and a good plot. And I prefer that its a series. Also I do like gay characters but there doesnt have to be any. Some great book series that I've read are: Harry Potter Percy Jackson Hunger Games Divergent The Iron Fey Witch Eyes The Mortal Instruments The Infernal Devices The Sisters Grimm Artemis Fowl Maximum Ride So yeah.

What are some of the best young adult fiction books you have read?
UNWIND DYSTOLOGY - Neal ShustermanI’m a female and I love this series to pieces. No pun intended.I’ve read a lot of YA over the years as a teenager still stuck in the system called high school.BUT SERIOUSLY!I loved this series more than the Hunger Games after burning through this series.I was born in the HG era, was forced to read The Outsiders, and then lived to enjoy the Divergent Trilogy but this?(I cried for Johnny only because it was on audio book.)I picked it up on a whim, thinking that the concept was relatively interesting and had good reviews. I read it while on vacation.Unlike other YA authors Shusterman doesn’t bowdlerize his work so teenagers will read his work. Rather, it’s just the right amount of romance, numerous plot twists, and just enough gore. His writing is in third person and is anything but amateur writing. He is by far one of the most underrated YA authors. He has worked as a screenwriter as well as an author.This book has been considered required reading at some schools but it is by far anything but that. The romance is more realistic than the HG and so is the ending. Also, the writing is better than Divergent.DID I MENTION PLOT TWISTS EVERYWHERE?The concept?It’s a dystopian novel that centers around three characters: Lev, Risa, and Connor. The society is set in modern times, just a little after the iPhone became an outdated piece of technology. But really? It’s practically set in modern times probably still set in the 21st century. The only difference between now and in their world is that kids can be unwound if they are under the age of 18. Abortion is illegal. Instead, parents have the option to unwind their kid. If they have their kid unwound, they are sent to camps in which they are sent away so that 99.9% of their body parts can be given to others as transplants. Some of the kids are delinquents, some are orphans, and some were sacrificed so their parents could give 10% for religious purposes.Oiy. I know. Weird. Just pick it up and read it. If you’re itching for plot twists? Read it. Good romance? Read it. :D
Worst Young Adult Book's You've Ever Read?!?!?!??!?
I also cringe whenever someone raves over 13 Reasons Why. I thought the premise was great. Suicide note left in the form of cassette tapes to let those who touched her life know their impact. However, I despised Hannah. She makes all these asinine decisions in her life, then blames everyone else. Then can't deal with her own poor judgement, so she kills herself. It was a huge lesson in how NOT to live happily. I had assumed that I thought the book ridiculous because it was intended for teens and I'm the mother of teens. Nice to know that's not the case. :) There've been a few that jumped on the Hunger Games train and should have derailed. But honestly, I can't even recall the names now. There were so many that I started and then stopped because they were simply stupid. Several that had a good start, but the sequels were disappointing like Divergent, XVI, Anna Dressed in Blood, The Faraway Island, Birthmarked, A Great and Terrible Beauty. I also get a little tired of the same message wrapped in a different package, over and over, like many of Michael Morpurgo's. Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes, Looking for Alaska, A Mango Shaped Space, Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, Life: An Exploded Diagram and Perks of Being a Wallflower are among some of my YA favorites. Like the story of What I Saw and How I Lied but hated the main character and her infantile view of her world. The thing that gets under my skin the most in YA books is a book that treats someone under the age of 21 like an idiot, talks down to them, makes plots so overly simple that a trained baboon could see through it. I think that's one thing that makes John Green and JK Rowling enjoyable. Neither underestimates intelligence because of age.
