Top Ten Books I Recommend The Most


CHANTELLE

1. On the Jellicoe Road by Melina Marchetta
An impacting, mind-blowing coming of age novel by my favourite YA Aussie author!
Just trust me on this one.

2. The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks by E. Lockhart
Every girl should read this before they're 20. It follows Frankie, a smart, ambitious 15 yo girl who should not be underestimated. (Review)

3. The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
The most vividly descriptive, creative and original piece I've ever read. Be prepared to be completely transported into a world of magic and infinite possibilities.

4. Unravel Me (Shatter Me #2) by Tahereh Mafi
Best. sequel. ever. I'll describe Unravel me as 'MORE', there's just more of everything, it's lived up to all the hype. So much squealing.

5. Butter by Erin Jade Lange
I did not expect to love and admire this book as much as I do, it follows an obese teenage boy who struggles with self-identity and self-worth as he makes an online promise to eat himself to death. I can not recommend this enough! Review coming soon...

6. Easy by Tammara Webber
So much swoonage, not kidding, if you've lived on some other planet and haven't read this yet, read it already!

NARA
Okay, I'm going to cheat slightly in mine, and do series for some of them instead of just single books :) All of the recommended books are Panacea Candidates, either for 2012 or for 2013.

1. The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
Like last week, John Green. Quote in sidebar. Enough said. (Review)

2. The Infernal Devices Series by Cassandra Clare
The last book in this series, Clockwork Princess, was recently released. And it was amazing. The series contains possibly the most even love triangle I have ever encountered in Young Adult fiction. Will? Jem? Por que no los dos?

3. The Daughter of Smoke and Bone Series by Laini Taylor
Taylor's writing in this series is absolutely stunning. Incredible world building and character development certainly make this a series to recommend. (Review)

4. The Bloodlines Series by Richelle Mead
In the Vampire Academy series, my favourite character was probably Adrian, so when Bloodlines came out I was extremely excited. With The Fiery Heart (Book 4) coming out at the end of this year, I definitely recommend starting the series soon!

5. My Life Next Door by Huntley Fitzpatrick
Jase, Jase, Jase, Jase, Jase. You are amazing. Seriously, just read this book for the Jase-age and you won't be disappointed.

6. The Sea of Tranquility by Katja Millay
One of the most realistic romances I've ever read. Great build up, impeccable character development, intrigue upon intrigue! Get yourself a copy! (Review)


P.S. Yes, we do realise we've listed twelve books instead of ten, but the prospect of cutting our recommendations down any further was rather painful so we didn't :)
