10 Young Adult Books to Add to Our Reading List

deep blue half cover ya books

So, this is my first time recommending so many books in one go, but I hope to make a couple of more like this one in the future. I have not read the books I am about to name but the titles called to me or the covers (mostly the covers), so I want to share them with all the readers out there looking for something new to add to their reading list.

I picked these 10 in the Young Adult section, but they might have some fantasy in them as well. Though I am thinking of making another list, as I mentioned, but just for the magical, fantastical books out there. Unless you want to know about other genres then let me know in the comments. You will find the link to each book at the end of every description. Alright, here we go.

10 Young Adult Books

The Wishes Series, Book 2

This one is part of a Series and we should probably read book 1 first which is: Saving Wishes 

Ebook: Second Hearts

The Viking’s Chosen

The Clan Hakon Series

Author: Quinn Loftis

Description: ‘Torben, a Viking general, is prophesized to take a foreign bride—and not just any—but a seer and healer like his mother. Allete Auvray of England is said to be just such a woman. Too bad his orders are to pillage her kingdom, and that she’s already pledged to marry the king of Tara.’

Ebook: The Viking Chosen

The Water Keepers Series

Description: ‘Sadie has the perfect life. But everything turns upside down when she’s rescued by a mysterious boy who won’t even tell her his name. As Sadie pushes for answers, she realizes her life isn’t as perfect as she thought. ‘

This one is already a completed Series so it might be worth it reading all of them at once.

Ebook: The Water Keepers Series

The Choice of Magic

The choice of magic book

Ebook: Dreamworld

Cress

cress-young-adult-book10

 

The Lunar Chronicles, Book 3

Author: Marissa Meyer

Description: ‘Cinder and Captain Thorne are fugitives on the run, now with Scarlet and Wolf in tow.

Alright so this one, I already know that I am definitely going to read it, and I already bought a copy, which is waiting for me to finish Scarlet, so it is a must-read for me and no surprise there.

Goodreads: Cress 

That is it, readers. If you already had some of these on-hold then we have similar taste and if I helped you find a new book to add to your never-ending reading list (like mine) then awesome.

Let me know about other young adult books that you would like to read or have read, and let’s see if the lists keep on growing. Happy reading, lads and lasses!
