I used to be an avid reader; I honestly spent more time in my books than with my friends. I even met one of my best friends online through a book. I would read anything and everything supernatural, dark, dystopian, etc. I haven’t wanted to read much lately, but that doesn’t mean I’m not still in love with the books I’ve read. Nor does it mean I hate reading; I just haven’t found the right book.
I know for a fact that when I first got obsessed with reading, I had a hard time finding good books before I finished my current one. While Goodreads gave me lots of ideas, I found that the best books will find you, not the other way around. Doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try to speed up the process, though.
I’ve compiled a list (in no particular order) of Young ADult series’ that I’ve enjoyed.
1) The Hunger Games Trilogy – Suzanne Collins
– This book was recommended to me by a neighborhood friend, and I thought it sounded cool so I read it. I fell in love. While the series is most popular for it’s movies, the books were amazing. I loved the first best, and the last was my least favorite.
-Basically, THG is about a dystopian future of America where people are divided into separate Districts. On a certain day each year, each of the 12 districts must choose two children (one male, one female) from the ages of 12–18 to participate in a fight to the death: The Hunger Games. This is a punishment by the Capitol.
2) The Divergent Trilogy – Veronica Roth
– I discovered this book before it became popular. Goodreads had recommended this book to me a few times, but for some reason the main character’s name (Beatrice) made me think it would be a horrible book—silly reason, I know—so I put it off until something made me read it; I don’t remember what, maybe it was a review or something? Anyway, that was a couple of years ago, but Divergent is still one of my favorite books. The last book killed me.
– Divergent is set in a futuristic dystopian Chicago, where, at the age of 16, you must choose who you will be for the rest of your life. Citizens are divided into five different factions: Dauntless, the brave; Amity, the peaceful; Erudite, the intelligent; Abnegation, the selfless; and Candor, the honest. Each teen is given a test the day before the choosing ceremony. Beatrice’s test was inconclusive, meaning, she’s divergent.

– This one I had seen plenty of times, but since I wasn’t particularly in love with the 3rd person POV, I had passed it up. That is, until my friend basically made me read it, and I couldn’t be more thankful. There are currently five books out. The last one is due to be released in May of this year.

4) The Mortality Doctrine – James Dashner
– I actually found this one on my own, while at a bookstore. I was in a rush, so I picked it up because it looked cool and then we left. So glad I did! Currently, there is only one book out (The Eye of Minds), but there are more due to come.
