The first one was a little slow the first half, but I can hardly put them down now. <br />I also enjoy Maryrose Wood's The Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place, but that's a middle grade, not a YA. Still, very fun. :)MTeacresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00381461599028233499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2306182475647359241.post-10231761206912586302011-05-02T08:52:31.485-07:002011-05-02T08:52:31.485-07:00@Michelle Merrill I've read Poison Study, but ...@<a href="#c2379176293822143074" rel="nofollow">Michelle Merrill</a> I've read Poison Study, but no others in the series. I really liked it. I LOVED Inside Out. SO GOOD! I've read everything Shannon Hale and Jessica Day George have written. They are two of my favorite favorite authors. I've never read Sea Glass! I read a snippet of it and it sounds great! I'll be adding that to my list! :D Never read anything by Tamora Pierce. Looking up books now... (BTW it's no surprise that we like the same authors! ;)<br /><br /><br />@<a href="#c8083981609081972468" rel="nofollow">David Powers King</a> I've been meaning to read the Mistborn series. I've heard from several people that they are amazing. I don't know why I haven't yet! You've convinced me. I'll give it a shot. :)<br />@<a href="#c8314873277158866340" rel="nofollow">Reece</a> Is that the serial killer series? I've been meaning to read those, but I'm pretty sure they would freak me right out! LOL As far as genres go, I love fantasy and dystopian the most. But I do read just about everything. ;) Thanks for your suggestions! I'll add them to my list! I love middle grade as well, so if you have any suggestions I'd love to hear them. Percy Jackson and Fablehaven are some of my favorite series! And Harry Potter, but that's a given. ;)Chantele Sedgwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07920913211842919013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2306182475647359241.post-87738873413963747952011-05-02T08:50:40.723-07:002011-05-02T08:50:40.723-07:00I like David's answer, Mistborn was awesome!! ...I like David's answer, Mistborn was awesome!!

It caught my imagination from the very first page and <i>still</i> won't let go (I've read it at least 5 times). I'd also recommend Dan Well's John Cleaver series. If I knew which genres you prefer, I could give you a lot more.<br /><br />By the way, I also know of a lot of good middle grade, if you're interested.Reecehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16610242701129500313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2306182475647359241.post-80839816090819724682011-05-02T08:40:27.213-07:002011-05-02T08:40:27.213-07:00I'd have to answer with Mistborn.

Anything by Shannon Hale, Jessica Day George, or Tamora Pierce. Oh and Maria Snyder (Poison study series) also wrote a book called Inside Out that's pretty good.
