YA fantasy books I'd recommend: A Court of Thorns and Roses (Sarah J. Maas), Throne of Glass (Sarah J. Maas), The Cruel Prince (Holly Black), Shadow and Bone (Leigh Bardugo), Six of Crows (Leigh Bardugo), Red Queen (Victoria Aveyard)Modern-day-magic books: Carry On (Rainbow Rowell), The Raven Cycle (Maggie Steifvater) Classic fairy tales set in the future: The Lunar Chronicles (Marissa Meyer) These are all amazing books in my opinion, hope someone else likes them too! I love A Court of Thorns and Roses! I just finished the Throne of Glass series and though that was really good too. 2 days ago |

Rubber Soul
"The Catcher in the Rye" by J. D. Salinger was probably the best book I've read all year, I swear it changed my life. I've now read it like five times, and each time there are more concepts and messages to be absorbed and discovered. Seriously everyone should read this book....Also, an interesting piece of trivia, some people think that the book is cursed, because it supposedly caused several people to murder. |

I just read the Memory Book (don’t know the author sorry) and was sobbing by the end of it. Totally worth reading
Show all 4 comments what is it about? 12/01/2019 - 1:07pm It’s about a girl who is diagnosed with a disease that will cause her to forget everything. So she writes everything she experiences down in her memory book. That’s the basic line 12/01/2019 - 2:07pm oh, this sounds interesting! 12/01/2019 - 5:58pm Cool! I'll try to check it out! 4 hours ago |

"The Song of Achilles" by Madeline Miller"we were liars" by e. lockhart "I'll Give You The Sun" by Jandy Nelson "The Book Thief" by Markus Zusak "The Hidden Reality" by Brian Greene (nonfiction) And of course, Harry Potter, Divergent, Percy Jackson, Hunger Games, etc. . . Fair warning, some of these has slightly adult themes. I'd recommend looking them up before reading :) |

Hello everyone! Welcome to the YWP book club! I personally am so excited to share books and get some fun new reads! As you may have seen on the announcement for the club, I am going to be leading a special feature to add to the book club element. Every month, I will suggest a personal favorite book for you to read. You don't have to read the book if you don't want to, but it is a fun way to connect to other writers by reading the same book at the same time. :)
The first book (which officially starts in the month December) is the 57 Bus by Dashka Slater. I read this recently, and it is an AMAZING non-fiction book about two teenagers, Sasha and Richard, who are struggling with gender, race and identity and the crime that changed their lives. I hope that you enjoy it. :) Happy reading! 11/27/2019 - 2:09pm sounds interesting! I'll see if I can find it. 11/27/2019 - 7:57pm |

any of you read the Divergent series? Favorite character?Also Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit! my favorites would have to be Galadriel and pippin. Show all 5 comments I love the Divergent series! Personally, Tris is my favorite character because of her bravery, but I like Christina too! 11/27/2019 - 2:37pm I like Tris's mom. 11/27/2019 - 7:40pm I am reading the first Divergent book right now! It’s really good so far. 11/28/2019 - 8:36am Divergent was one of my first book loves. My favorite character is definitely Four (yes, I'm basic lol). Have you read Veronica Roth's new series? I haven't and am debating on if it is worth the read. 12/02/2019 - 3:14pm I haven’t! I’ve heard good things about it though. 12/02/2019 - 5:26pm |
