I NEED YOUR HELP!
As you may know I'm a part-time Librarian aside from my other work and college studies during the week. As part of my many duties at the library I was inspired to do a display based on YA Books, from a range of genres; Contemporary to Paranormal.
But that means I would need to chose them and I wouldn't even know where to start. So that's where you come in... I've had so many great opportunities reading the books your recommend and love and now I need you to chose. List your TOP 3 YA books you've read and would recommend. It would have to be of CURRENTLY RELEASED Books so that my colleague and I can order them in. I'm looking to display between 10-15 books with a change every week, depending on the issues that we have.
So I would love to hear your favourites and I will be sure to mention you in a the display. It doesn't matter if some are repeated between you, I will at the end do a pole if its a very tight decision. I would love to hear all of your decisions, latest by the end of the week.
I would like to say a MASSIVE THANK YOU for taking to time to help me out... How could I chose so little books from a wide range of astounding authors.
What an awesome idea, Emma! That's so kind of you to arrange this for your library - the librarian at my local library is a moody lady who probably couldn't care less about any books that don't interest her! I wish she was more like you :)
ReplyDeleteMy favourite 3 YA books that are currently released are:
Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas(without a doubt!)
The Lost Girl by Sangu Mandanna
Drowning Instinct by Ilsa Bick
I would have said The Fault in Our Stars, but I assume your library already has that! If it hasn't, TFiOS is in my Top 3 :)
Can't wait to hear how your display goes! xxx
Top YA Books!
ReplyDelete1. The Hunger Games
2. Beautiful Creatures
3. The Fault in Our Stars(AHHHH!)
Quite hard to just pick three, but here you go! :D
ReplyDelete1. The False Prince by Jennifer Nielsen
2. The Brides of Rollrock Island by Margo Lanagan

Good luck on the display!

ReplyDelete2. Pushing the Limits by Katie McGarry

I agree with Jess, that's really sweet of you do that for your library! My local library, the librarians are friendly, but they don't always have the money to buy lots of new books as books are incredibly expensive here :( But they do have a lot of good books so that's okay :p
ReplyDeleteMy top three favourites are:
1. Divergent - Veronica Roth
2. Life as We Knew It - Susan Beth Pfeffer
3. The Sky is Everywhere - Jandy Nelson
Last one!
4. The Knife of Never Letting Go - Patrick Ness
Everyone needs to read that book, its so heart-breaking! :'( xxx
What a brilliant idea! :D
ReplyDelete1. The Fault In Our Stars by John Green (Best book ever!!!!!! Even people who don't normally read will love it!)
(And seeing as TFiOS is pretty well-known, I'll do two lesser-known ones which have been recently released. They're both dystopians - my favourite genre!)
2. Doomed by Tracy Deebs
and
3. The Farm by Emily McKay
Hope all goes well with this! :D
That's an awesome idea, Emma. :)
