Gateway Books to Your Favorite Genre:
My favorite genre is YA Contemporary. I am trying to branch out
a little. But YA Contemporary will always be my #1! 😉 Here are some
of my favorite YA books, that I think would be great for people
who are just getting started! 😀
1.) The Nature of Jade by Deb Caletti.
This is the book that got me back into reading in high school. I’ve
read just about every Deb Caletti book, but this one is my favorite! 😀
2.) Catalyst by Laurie Halse Anderson.
Laurie has some great books out there, but this one just happens to
be my favorite! I think I’ve read this book about 10 times…No lie! I’m
gonna have to find my copy so I can give it a reread! 😀
3.) Just Listen or Lock & Key by Sarah Dessen.
Well, basically ANY Sarah Dessen book would be a great start.
She is an amazing storyteller, and I can’t wait to finish the rest
of her books. 😀
4.) The Sky Is Everywhere & I’ll Give You The Sun by Jandy Nelson.
Jandy Nelson is one of my top favorite YA authors. Both of these
books are great. I especially love I’ll Give You The Sun, but both of
them are prefect of a YA beginner! 🙂
5.) To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before & P.S. I Still Love You by Jenny Han.
These are both some sweet quick reads. Once I started I was hooked!
My favorite Character would have to be Kitty. She is a riot! Can’t wait until
I can get my hands on the next book (Always and Forever, Lara Jean)
in this Trilogy/Series. 😀 Aren’t ^those^ covers great!?
The cover for Always and Forever, Lara Jean, was revealed
some time last week! HERE IT IS!!!!! ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
ISN’T IT BEAUTIFUL!? I’M SO EXCITED!! 😀

This was a good list, I’m drafting my list right now!
😀
This post is so good! I haven’t read any of these but they’re everywhere, which one would you recommend me to start with?
I would start with either Just Listen, or Lock & Key. They are both really good! 😀
Thank for the recs 🙂
No Problem! 😀
I haven’t read any of these as I’m just starting to get into the YA contemporary genre! Both of those Jandy Neilson books are on my TBR though! 😊
You should read them both, they are AMAZING! 😀
Hopefully I will, it’s just getting to them with everything on my TBR
Great list. Very happy we both had Just Listen. Jandy Nelson is my ya hero. I never got into the Lara Jean novels, but the covers are certainly pretty 😊
Always and Forever, Lara Jean has such a beautiful cover!! I’m so excited for this book.
You picked PERFECT books to get into YA Contemporary. I loved Catalyst too… but sometimes I feel like I’m the only one who’s ever read it. LOVE Laurie’s books though. And Sarah Dessen is a MUST!! AND I can’t wait for more Jandy Nelson. She needs to write faster 🙂
I know! Jandy needs to hurry up! I also love Laurie’s books! I’ve read them all except for the latest one! 🙂
I still have to discover Sarah Dessen! I bought her book, This Lullaby, and I definitely need to make time to read it! I’ll keep Just Listen or Lock & Key in mind if I fall in love with This Lullaby. 🙂
I like Contemporary too, but I haven’t read any of those hahaha I have heard of them though.
🙂
Sarah Dessen can do no wrong… Well almost, I didn’t really like The Moon and More or What Happened to Goodbye, but she has provided me with so many life changing novels, I have no choice but to forgive her.
The Moon & More wasn’t as great as I was hoping. I haven’t read What Happened To Goodbye yet, but hopefully it’s not too bad!
