So I’ve been thinking about trying out some new books to read. I’m feeling my usual itchiness that happens when I’ve been reading too much twilight fanfiction. I’m reading some great WIPs at the moment so I’m enjoying reading updates but I honestly don’t think I’ve got the motivation to start something new and complete. (I’ve started skimming and that’s never a good sign) Usually when this happens, I read some Harry Potter fanfiction but I seemed to have exhausted my patience for that at the moment also.
I recently finished the Outlander series and I’m halfway through A Clash of Kings (A Song of Ice and Fire) Now both those series are great but can be a little heavy and dense (in the case of a Clash of Kings.) I need something lighter, easy to read and something that will satisfy my need to completely lose myself in a story. I love romance, fantasy, supernatural or anything that’s just really unique.
The Twilight Series was the first Young Adult books I’d read since I was a teenager and while I’ve seen other Young Adult books talked about on ADF, I’ve never picked up one myself. SO I’m begging you all please for your YOUNG ADULT BOOKS recs.
What do you all think of stuff like Hunger Games, Vampire Diaries, Divergent, The Blue Blood novels etc?
Is there anything in particular you think worth recommending? Why is it good?
My rec is in my opinion the best drabble fic I’ve read (and there seem to be a lot floating around at the moment) I’m kinda obsessed with bornonhalloween’s story Comp Sem 101 so it wasn’t hard to give her drabble fic a try.. Less is more was never a more apt saying than when it is applied to this story. It’s amazing – go read it…now.

ETA:
1. I'm off to bed now but just wanted to thank everyone for all the amazing recs. I'm literally spoiled for choice and probably won't have time to read another fanfic again!
2. Thanks to missbluejuju's suggestion, I'm now on Goodreads which I'd never heard of before today. I'm missusmarsten over there too so add me :)
so long farewell, auf weidersehen goodnight....
