Recommended YA Books

So in case you’ve been living under a rock, our Read a Book, Write a Review program is still going on. If you’re looking to read and review a book none of your peers have perused, check out the following titles (in reverse alphabetical order! Ha!):

Zombies vs. Unicorns, compiled by Justine Larbalestier and Holly Black

In this compilation of dueling stories, which creature wins more? Zombies? Or Unicorns? My favorite short story was Meg Cabot’s contribution, Princess Prettypants, about a unicorn that literally farts rainbows.

White Cat by Holly Black

Love noir films? This is one heck of a noir book. Read it, now. Go. I’m waiting.

Vampire Crush by A.M. Robinson

Two words: VAMPIRE LUAU. Cue the awesomesauce. My father essentially read the book with me, because I read every other line aloud to him, it was so funny.

Jenna & Jonah’s Fauxmance by Emily Franklin and Brendan Halpin

Charlie and Fielding star on the Family Network’s hit show, Jenna & Jonah’s How To Be a Rockstar, onscreen and off as two teens in love. Only problem? They hate each others guts. When certain ruin is spelled out for them, will the two team up or tear up?

Ash by Malinda Lo

An exquisite retelling of the Cinderella story,where Ash must choose between the fairy cursed to love her, and the King’s Huntress whom she loves. Absolutely breathtaking. Lo is a gifted writer.
