HOT
‘The Shock of the Fall’ by Nathan Filer
I really enjoyed reading ‘The Shock of the Fall’. I had the sense of that I became friends with Matthew while reading the book, and he taught me great things about life.
‘Panic’ (Panic #1) by Lauren Oliver
I have never read a book like ‘Panic’. The whole game was build up in a way I never have seen before. It was everything I hoped for and more since it made me feel all kind of emotions and when I first started to read this book, I would not let go of it.
‘The Blood of Olympus’ (The Heroes of Olympus #5) by Rick Riordan
After a long, long wait finally the last book in Heroes of Olympus came out. But after finishing the book I felt like it could’ve been so much better and I didn’t get to see a lot of the things I wanted to see. WARNING! This booktube contains spoilers.
‘After’ (After #1) by Anna Todd, Book Review
Tessa is about to start college, but nothing goes as she planned. She meets Hardin and suddenly her world is turned upside-down. He makes her feel a passion she has never felt before. The book took me on an emotional roller-coaster ride. I built up a love-hate relationship to Hardin, I saw myself in Tessa and these things made me fall in love with ‘After’.
‘Paper Towns’ by John Green
In ‘Paper Towns’ we meet Quentin, also known as Q, who was friends with Margo years ago, when they were kids. Now Q likes Margo, but Margo does not seem to notice him at all. While reading this book I never understood why Q likes Margo so much, since she has never done anything for him.
’Lovely, Dark and Deep’ by Amy McNamara
It wasn’t quite the love story which made me turn page after page in ‘Lovely, Dark and Deep’. Of course I was curious to find out whether Wren would end up finding happiness in love, but that wasn’t what made this book great. What I really wondered was, whether this unfortunate girl could find her way back to a decent life worth living — or not.
‘Will Grayson, Will Grayson’ by David Levithan and John Green
‘Will Grayson, Will Grayson’ is written by John Green and David Levithan. It has its own charm with some personalities I instantly fell in love with and I could nothing but smile while reading. So even though I’m not much of a contemporary reader I did enjoy reading this book.
‘The Book Thief’ by Markus Zusak
While reading ‘The Book Thief’ I got a whole new perspective on, what it was like to live in Nazi Germany during World War II. None other than Death tells the story of Liesel Meminger, and the story was both heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time.
‘Hexed’ (The Witch Hunter #1) by Michelle Krys
Even though the witch-and-sorcerer theme is so used in YA, Michelle Krys’ first book in the new ‘The Witch Hunter’ series, ‘Hexed’, did manage to conquer me completely. The story is wonderful unpredictable and loads of fun.
‘Four: A Divergent Story Collection’ (Divergent #0.1 – 0.4) by Veronica Roth
After I finished reading the Divergent trilogy and I found out that Veronica Roth also had written ‘Four’, my only thought was that I had to read that book, because I needed to learn more about Tobias.
‘The Castle’ by Sophia Bennett
‘The Castle’ is a fun adventure story about schoolgirl Peta Jones, who makes a mission out of finding her missing army hero dad. It’s an easy read for the youngest YA readers. The plot isn’t unique, but the set-up about ‘finding dad’ works great and the pace is high and the tone is warm and wonderful.
