Top Ten Tuesday: Fave Reads of Young Adult Fiction and Whiskey Sours

Happy Top Ten Tuesday, blog world! We love TTT (and The Broke and the Bookish for hosting it.) This week's list-mania is devoted to the Top Ten Books Read During the Lifespan of Your Blog. Now YAF & WS is still growing up, so our ultimate top ten is still in formation, but here are the books that we have spent the most time loving/discussing as a group. It is a big sign when not one of us but all of us read the same book.
  1. The Sky is Everywhere by Jandy Nelson. BAT BAT. BAT. I had to buy a copy to have on hand, just in case.
  2. Jellicoe Road by Melina Marchetta. Ditto on wanting to own a copy.
  3. Strange Angels by Lili St. Crow. I just gifted Crazy Camper this book this weekend. I love it that much!
  4. Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead. Crazy Camper peer-pressured me into buying this one -- she literally cannot stop talking about how great Rose is.
  5. Divergent by Veronica Roth. Our debates on this have been epic, but Goosie Mama truly stands behind this read.
  6. Texas Gothic by Rosemary Clement-Moore. Crazy Camper and I enjoyed the heck out of this cowboy story. Will it stay on the ultimate top ten forever? Who knows, but it was a lot of fun.
  7. The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater. It instantly feels timeless.
Check out our reviews for Texas Gothic, Strange Angels, The Scorpio Races, Vampire Academy, Jellicoe Road and both  Goosie Mama's Review and my review of The Sky is Everywhere and my review and Goosie Mama’s review for Divergent!

    I've yet to read anything by Melina Marchetta, but I know it's time; I've heard such good things about Jellicoe Road and Finnikin of the Rock. Really enjoyed Strange Angels but I was a tad disappointed with the way the series ended.

    Lots of these are made of awesome! Especially jellicoe road. And I really should have included The Scorpio Races on mine. But you will LOVE Beauty Queens. I hope. Now, I'm nervous. I loved it, and gave it to my sister, and she was being super annoying and laughing loudly and getting up sometimes and walking around when she was excited. so I feel confident!

    We have such similar taste that I think I finally need to read Texas Gothic. Except the thing is... I'm Texan! For some reason that's been holding me back. (Texan originally = Texan forever)
