YA Must-Reads discussion

During the summer I don't want to read anything serious or heavy. I want fun, funny and 100% pure entertainment. So far my favorite summer read is the hilarious Necromancer series by Lish McBride, but there was not a new book this summer. I need my summer literature laughs. Any suggestions?

I just read the night circus and it's just wonderful, I don't know if it is funny, but it's supper romantic and magical and awesome

Thanks. Sounds like a good read for the evenings on the deck with a glass of wine!

Hahaha it sure is!!

I have been enjoying reading all of Rainbow Rowell's books this summer! While they have some serious moments, I have found that all her books have so much momentum that they move themselves. As a reader, I just have to sit back on my favorite couch and enjoy the ride.

I've been reading the Sorcer's Quest by Morgan Rice. It has 14 books in the series, I started it a week or so ago and I'm still hooked. Currently on Book 10. Also a stand alone book I just read yesterday called My own worst enemy by Emma Smith.

Loved Fangirl. Will have to read her others. Thanks.

14 books in one series sounds like a good choice for the long dreary gray days of winter.

have you tried any of the Ranger's Apprentice or Brotherband books by John Flanagan? They always have some laugh out loud bits mixed in with some excellent story telling.

I would recommend the Summer I Turned Pretty trilogy by Jenny Han.

The Discworld series by Terry Pratchett is a very entertaining bunch of satire books, that take place on a disc that is balanced on the back of four elephants, on the back of a giant turtle, that is hurling through space. Definitely a bunch of fun reads.

I recommend the "Starters" series by Lissa Price -one of my favourite series i have read up to now- :3

I just finished Searching for Sky and it was excellent.

I just finished it today, it was an excellent read. So many great relationships.

Sounds perfect! Thanks.

I highly recommend Are You Experienced? but anything by Jordan Sonnenblick is high on my list. I just finished Since You've Been Gonelast night and wow, that one sent chills down my arms.

I love Jordan Sonnenblick. Just took the YA survey and said Drums Girls and Dangerous Pie was my very favorite YA novel. Can't wait for his next novel.

I love reading anything by Cassandra Clare!!! :)

I recommendSince You've Been Gone, it's the only book that I have read this summer and haven't been quiet disappointed. Actually it was good.

Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell!I read it a few weeks ago and it was really good!<3 I loved it!

Jennifer Niven's Velva Jean series is fantastic! There are 4 books so far.
1. Velva Jean Learns to Drive
2. Velva Jean Learns to Fly
3. Becoming Clementine
and her latest book is called American Blonde.

I loved Velva Jean Learns to Drive when I read it years ago. I did not know there were sequels. Thank you for the suggestion!

The Hero's of Olympus is also a good light read that might make you chuckle. It's more for children than adults but its still enjoyable

Your Welcome, Let me know what you think of the rest of the Velva Jean books. Jennifer Niven is a good friend of mine. If you have a Facebook account she has a fan page.

any recommendation ? I really have no idea what to read .

I recommend A Bite's Tale as a short, but sweet book. It is a cinderella story with a paranormal twist. Love it :)

Also, Angelfall is always a favorite. Angels take over the world, Penryn has to team up with an unlikely ally in order to save her sister from the angels that are not so angelic.

Hope these help!

I just finished Silver Shadows and it's amazing. :)

thank you Megan I'll check them out :)

Glad to help, Sarah! Happy reading :)

if you want a little action/adventure without all the romance I recommend the Ranger's Apprentice series by John Flanaganc There's always a few good laughs in these

The Vigilante Poets of Selwyn Academy Funny jab at reality TV. Lovable characters.
