    I love seeing Sabriel on your list! I also chose to recommend young adult titles and included Sabriel as one of my fantasy recommendations. I haven’t read many of the others on your list (except Divergent), but I may need to check them out.

      It’s great seeing Sabriel on lists, especially seeing as how it’s not recently published. I love that she’s still getting love.

    Shiver is absolute perfection. Maggie Stiefvater gosh anything by her is just amazing. 🙂
    Can’t wait until I get around to reading Grave Mercy, Before I Fall and Unearthly!

    It’s a little embarrassing to admit, but I’ve actually not read any of these books. I do, however, want to read Sabriel and Grave Mercy. I’m also somewhat interested in Vampire Academy and Divergent. Of late I’ve been looking for some sci-fi books, so I’m curious about Glow now. Anyway, great list – I like how you broke the list down.

      Thank you. Do you consider yourself exclusively a YA reader? I would be surprised if you do. But not all of these are massively popular, although I do think they each hold a particularly well done introduction to their sub-genres.

      Oh yes, I struggled with Grave Mercy at first and had to read it all in one go. it was worth it in the end though, lovely book.

    Fabulous list. I completely agree with pretty much every book you mentioned, especially Vampire Academy and Grave Mercy. Thanks for sharing!

      I think the ‘billowy dresses’ is more a me thing. I’m a sucker for a pretty white girl in a prom dress cover, and I picked the artwork I liked best for these books.
