YALSA recently announced it's 2013 Best Fiction for Young Adults. Of the 102 books I have read 10- THE PLEDGE by Kimberly Derting, THE DIVINERS by Libbra Bray, CROAK by Gina Damico, THE FAULT IN OUR STARS by John Green, THE IMMORTAL RULES by Julie Kagawa, ENCHANTED by Alethea Kontis, THRONE OF GLASS by Sarah J. Maas, AU REVOIR CRAZY EUROPEAN CHICK by Joe Shreiber, and GRAVE MERCY by Robin LaFevers.
Of those that I have read I highly recommend CINDER, a book whose elements you wouldn't think would work together but do (cyborgs, aliens, futuristic society Cinderella), THE IMMORTAL RULES, a different sort of vampire tale, THE PLEDGE, a dystopian I can confidently say is like no other I have ever read before, and GRAVE MERCY, featuring a character who could give even Katniss Everdeen a run for her money.
Of those that I haven't read I am most curious about UNSPOKEN by Sarah Rees Brennan, TIGER LILY by Jodi Lynn Anderson (which I've had sitting on my shelves, untouched, since its release date), GRAFFITI MOON by Cath Crowley, SCARLET by A.C. Gaughen, INSIGNIA by S.J. Kincaid (again, another book I've had since its release date), I HUNT KILLERS by Barry Lyga, and THIS IS NOT A TEST by Courtney Summers.
Have you read any of the book included on the list? If so, thoughts?
