Top 10 Books I wish more people had read!

With the exception of The Demon's Lexicon each of these books has less then 5,000 ratings on Goodreads and I just never seem to chat with other bloggers who have read and enjoyed these YA titles!

1 The Demon's Lexicon series by Sarah Rees Brennan

This is the book series that cemented by love for Sarah's writing and it's not like I can point to 1 thing in the series I loved. I just literally loved everything! It's got Demon's (and one special demon in particular), magic, drama, and an awesome brother relationship akin to that of Sam/Dean Winchester. There's nothing not to love about this series.

2 Meant To Be by Lauren Morrill

This book really surprised me! It is just so painfully cute and I know I had a goofy smile the entire time I was reading this. I also regularly use "MTB" in my daily vocab now.

3 Tiger Lily by Jodi Lynn Anderson

Tiger Lily turned the entire story I thought I knew about Peter Pan on it's head and related it back to historical events. This book gave me some serious feels and made me think-more people need to read it!

4 The Assassin's Curse/The Pirates Wish by Cassandra Rose Clarke

Pirates, Assassin's, curses, mists, tons of great fight sequences, and a manticore. Just saying this duology has everything and I just finished The Pirate's Wish which comes out June 4th and LOVED it! More people need to read this book. Actually more people need to read Angry Robot/Strange Chemistry books in general!

5 The Scourge by AG Henley

I read this for a blog tour and didn't expect to like it as much as I did! It is my favorite self-published novel I have ever read and I am super excited for the sequel which should be coming soon =)

6 The Boys of Summer by CJ Duggan

If you need a summer read bust out your kindles/nooks and download this novel right now! It is the perfect beach read no joke. I loved the romance and summer-y feel this book has. Also bonus it's set in Australia so it's extra exotic & summery. Some people have called this novel NA but I am firm in the belief that is YA. 

7 The Morning Gift by Eva Ibbotson

My sister actually loaned me this book and was like "It's super cute". She was right and I have seen other reviewers describe Ibbotson's novels as 'Charming' and I have to agree. I got so many feels reading this book it's set during WWII. Ruth and her family are Jewish and are trying to escape Vienna but can't and Ruth ends up married to one of her father's professor friends. It's emotional but I got my HEA in the end so it was all worth it. 

8 The Shadow Society by Marie Rutkoski

I'm hard core in love with this cover and it matches the story inside this stand alone novel so well! The story is a crazy concept and I liked all the twists and turns the story takes. Honestly, more people need to read this!

9 Glamorous Illusions by Lisa T. Bergren

This is my first Lisa Bergren novel and I really enjoyed it. While reading it made me feel like I was traveling around Europe right along with the Grand Tour! I can't wait to read the sequel which is sitting on my Nook right now.

10 Auracle by Gina Rosati

Tired of YA novels using the same 3 or 4 supernatural plot devices? Read Auracle! It was original, fun, and the only novel I've ever read the dealt with astral projection.  

Honorable Mention: 

In The Shadow of Blackbirds by Cat Winters-I'm going to forgive everyone for having not read this novel yet. It was released a little over a month ago so maybe people are still scrambling to get their copies. I actually love this novel so much I gave a copy to my Mom for Mother's Day! A 2013 must read!
