I enjoyed reading the John Green books mentioned. I have not read Speak.adria_charles wrote: ↑30 Jun 2016, 10:47 Some good stand alone YA books that I have read and really enjoyed:
The Giver by Lois Lowry
The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
Looking for Alaska by John Green
Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson
I am sure there are more that I have read and you probably have read a few of these already, but I hope some of these help you out
The Giver can be read as a stand alone book but it’s actually a quartet. The first 3 books seem like stand alones but they all come together in the last book. The Giver is one of my favorite books. I have read it multiple times and was really excited when I found it there was more to the story. I highly suggest reading the others if you enjoyed The Giver.
I will list the order of the books here:
The Giver
Gathering Blue
The Messenger
Son

the three books need to be read in order, it is about an eleven year old girl who has to overcome many difficulties as she races to save her friend & is joined by armoured bears, witches, another eleven year old boy & several others in a coming of age journey.
with many life lessons thrown in , it is a delight . there is good storytelling with pearls of wisdom strewn around & most importantly without graphical sex or violence descriptions. i have read a lot of books which invariable have sex and violence to drive home their point.
but these were exception, in fact i am planning to introduce the books to my eight year old daughter. though the books do get dense as we move to the third one, there are concept i think which would be beyond the comprehension of a thirteen or fourteen year old, it is still a wonderful series.

Everything about this is correct. Honestly, wow. The first book was good but the second was MINDBLOWING. Just read it, now.cnbrady2001 wrote: ↑27 Jan 2019, 22:05 These are popular ones, but I LOVED them. My personal tastes tend towards fantasy YA, so...
A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas, just wow. I genuinely loved every single character. Not sure how to describe it without giving too much away, but it's 100% my favorite series of all time. MAJOR surprise at the beginning of the second book.

But I really enjoyed The Redwall Abby series by Brian Jacques. It’s a really wholesome series (gotta take a break from the gritty stuff sometimes) about anthropomorphic animals going on quests, solving riddles and battling with evil doers.

My mum always says the same to me (even though I don't live with her anymore). But I love owning books and you never know when you'll want to reread or lend someone one.

At 30 years, my mom has finally stopped with the library card haha - Plus i always tell it could be worse... i could be addicted to cigarettes or... porcelain dolls
I've always loved this quote:
Isn't it odd how much fatter a book gets when you've read it several times?" Mo had said..."As if something were left between the pages every time you read it. Feelings, thoughts, sounds, smells...and then, when you look at the book again many years later, you find yourself there, too, a slightly younger self, slightly different, as if the book had preserved you like a pressed flower...both strange and familiar. - Cornelia Funke
Books do truly feel like friends after awhile...
