dioxxys 04/07/22 1:00:18 AM #1:	I need more reading material and young adult kind of strikes the right balance for me. They're not overly violent but they're not afraid to have people die or other horrible things occasionally. Harry Potter series Hunger Games (though I only like the first one) Ender's game Eragon (inheritance cycle) Just finished Harry Potter for the third or fourth time and I need something new. Currently listening to Dresden Files which is about another wizard named Harry but it's an adult series. <cite>dioxxys posted [p:964088286] in Best young...

g0ldie 04/07/22 1:04:54 AM #2:	idk if it's a young adult book, but I feel it's appropriate for young adults - The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho, if you haven't read it yet. it's short, and tells a simple, yet meaningful story, IMO. --- https://imgur.com/mApEnf3 <cite>g0ldie posted [p:964088343] in Best young...

gunplagirl 04/07/22 1:05:00 AM #3:	Harry Potter isn't even in the top 20 YA series, the most noteworthy thing about the books is they got a lot of people into reading. Unfortunately, many of them only ever read the HP books so they never moved on. Edit: I forgot to say the Percy Jackson series is amazing --- tfw no big tiddy goth vampire gf who lactates blood - viewmaster_pi <cite>gunplagirl posted [p:964088344] in Best young...

AldousIsDead 04/07/22 1:21:11 AM #9:	I am immensely fond of the Old Kingdom series by Garth Nix. And if audiobooks are something you like, the Abhorsen trilogy of his books is read by Tim Motherfuckin Curry and is absolutely amazing. Please Netflix, make a series.

MrMolinaro 04/07/22 1:24:19 AM #11:	William Sleator has a lot of really interesting young adult sci-fi novels. Some of them date back to the 70s, so I'm not entirely sure how everything holds up these days, but House of Stairs was every bit as disturbing as I remembered when I reread it last year.

tri sapphire 04/07/22 1:42:29 AM #14:	The Dark is Rising Sequence by Susan Cooper is one of my favorites. And everything by Tamora Pierce. I'd start with her Song of the Lioness quartet for her Tortall books, and Circle of Magic quartet for her Emelan books. Dragonlance skirts YA and regular fantasy as well I think. Main books to read would be the Chronicles and Time of the Twins trilogies. There's also the Coldfire Trilogy by C.S. Friedman if you want something a bit more dark fantasy/sci-fi. Might be a bit too dark if violence is something you're trying to avoid though. --- "If history is to change, let it change! If the world is to be destroyed, so be it!
