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
Frey
The Frey Saga, Book 1

Ebook: Frey
Project ELE
ELE, Book 1

Second Hearts
The Wishes Series, Book 2

After a year of living out her dream of travelling the world, the sunny West African village of Kaimte would be her last stop. For Charli, nothing has changed.

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
Black-Tie Christmas
Author: Jo Michaels
Description: ‘Falling in love wasn’t in Evelyn Hart’s plan for the holidays, but with a cute boy named Adam, and a little Christmas magic, she’ll get more than she could ever hope for.‘
Ebook: Black-Tie Christmas
Deep Blue Secret
The Water Keepers Series
Author: Christie Anderson
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

Ebook: Lies of Golden Straw

When the two come together, they begin a journey that questions the meaning of destiny and proves that dreams can indeed become reality.‘
Ebook: Dreamworld
Cress
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!
