COMING IN DECEMBER!
I'm excited to have been asked by some young adult blogging buddies to be part of a Best of 2010 Event.
More details are coming soon but think giveaways, interviews, guest posts...
There have been some fabulous books published in 2010.
So tell me...
What are your favorite young adult books that were published this year?
There will be a best book of 2010 prize for one lucky commenter :-)
Thanks for all the great comments! I've contacted many of these authors and have giveaways set up for their books as part of BIR2010!
Wow best book of 2010??? Hard question.... Well I personally loved Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins! Awesome book to end an awesome series. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I also adore The Heist Society by Ally Carter. She writes some great stuff!
Julia @ That Hapa Chick
I loved wintergirls by Laurie Halse Anderson
ReplyDeleteI think that may have been technically 2009, so I'll go with Dash and Lily's book of dares, so cute :)
ReplyDeleteTough one. I'd have to pick Harmonic Feedback by Tara Kelly. It's such a fantastic book; I loved every page. I can't help but name my other favorite Amy & Roger's Epic Detour by Morgan Matson. I thought it was well written and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteMy brain is kind of overloading with that question. I can't really decided between two so I'll add'em both: Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins and Nightshade by Andrea Cremer. Had my TBR pile not been so far backed up this would have been even more impossible to answer!
ReplyDeleteGreat picks Edna! I absolutely LOVE Amy & Roger's Epic Detour!
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to narrow it down, but I would have to say that Clockwork Angel has been my favorite so far.
ReplyDeleteI just read I am Number Four and I think it might be one of my new favorites.
ReplyDeleteTop of my list for stuff that came out this year includes Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins, Darkest Mercy by Melissa Marr and Bloodthirsty by Flynn Meaney. Bloodthirsty was really good, and not for why you would expect it to be. Great read!
ReplyDeleteThe mockingbirds by Daisy Whitney
ReplyDeleteMy favorites: Amy & Roger's Epic Detour, Mockingjay and Nightshade. So far anyway! The year's not over yet!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite one is Linger, by Maggie Stiefvater. But I think Matched (by Ally Condie) is going to beat it. I have GREAT expectations for this one!
ReplyDeleteThis should be a fun event! There were so many great YA books in 2010, and the year is not even over! Here are a few I have loved: Linger, Mockingjay, White Cat, Behemoth, The Iron King/Daughter, The Demon's Covenant, Take Me There, Firelight, Twelfth Grade Kills, Clockwork Angel, Infinite Days, Inside Out, The Scorch Trials, ... etc!

Beautiful Darkness and Bad Girls Don't Die. They are two totally different book so it is ok to choose two. The year is not over and I have many left to read. This is a hard question. I love all my books!!
ReplyDeleteThanks!!
hi just hopping over from the book blogger hop
ReplyDeleteMy personal fave. this year was Nightshade. The Iron Daughter was great too!
ReplyDeleteI think The Eternal Ones was my fav of 2010.
ReplyDeleteThat is really tough! I really loved the fifth book in the Fablehaven series, Clockwork Angel, Beautiful Darkness and I Am Number Four. But there were soooo many others that I loved!
ReplyDeleteWell I'm eagerly anticipating The Last Sacrifice by Richelle Mead, I'm just DYING for this to come out. So naturally I loved Blood Promise by her which came out earlier this year. However, it wasn't my favorite of the series so far. So I'll go with Nightshade by Andrea Cremer. I thought this was an excellent debut book. I just saw the cover to Wolfsbane and think it's GORGEOUS. I didn't think they publishers could outdo themselves, but they did. There was just too many to pick from :) Great year for authors.
ReplyDeleteNightshade by Andrea Cremer has been the best debut novel of the year at our house. One of the best books I have read this year that was not released this year is the alchemist by Paulo Coelho, I think you would like it.

I will trumpet Mockingjay and also add Tyger Tyger (which I believe just came out, but I read a galley, and it was great - funny and exciting and clean!)
ReplyDeleteJulie @ Knitting and Sundries
My favourite books? Should I mention all of them?:D
ReplyDeleteOk, let's start with
*CLOCKWORK ANGEL by Cassandra Clare, had to give it 5/5 stars in my review. I didn't expected it as good as TMI series,I was wrong:)
*MOCKINGJAY by Suzanne Collins was a highly anticipated book aswell- loved it, although it couldn't keep up with The Hunger Games and Catching Fire!
*BURNED by P.C. and Kristin Cast.Thought of the House of Night series as an average one, but this one blew me away. WOW, can'T wait for Awakened!
*WHITE CAT by Holly Black. My first novel by this author, great idea,great protagonist!
* LINGER by Maggie Stiefvater- How could I forget this wonderful sequel to Shiver! I LOVED it, Maggie is an artist!
*BEAUTIFUL DARKNESS by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl- Although I haven't finished it yet, I can already tell: This novel is a must-read! I'm in Love with Ethan:D
2010 was and still is a year of fantastic new book releases!:)
CRAZY by Han Nolan
ReplyDeleteMATCHED by Ally Condie
I'd say "Spirit Bound" [Vampire Academy #5] by Richelle Mead but I'm hoping "Last Sacrifice" [Vampire Academy #6] and "Misguided Angel" [Blue Bloods #5] by Melissa de la Cruz would be even better!
ReplyDeletemilagp1@yahoo.com.br
It'd have to be Forget You by Jennifer Echols :)
ReplyDeletehollytaylor(AT)optusnet.com.au
This is really hard, but either Amy & Roger's Epic Detour by Morgan Matson or Fallout by Ellen Hopkins!!
ReplyDeletemy1blog17@yahoo.com
Hard question but one of the best YA books I read this year was probably Going Too Far by Jennifer Echols. I ended up enjoying it way more than I thought I would.
ReplyDeletecjmfnobrega@gmail.com
So many books...but, I did love Mocking Jay by Suzanne Collins and Tricks by Ellen Hopkins
ReplyDeleteI love reading The Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins, The Iron Daughter by Julie Kagawa and Deadly Little Secret (Touch, #1) by Laurie Faria Stolarz.

MOCKINGJAY!
ReplyDeletek_anon[at]hotmail[dot]co[dot]uk
My favorite book of 2010 is definitely Rot & Ruin by Jonathan Maberry. It's a REALLY good book.
ReplyDeletesmartin_90 (at) yahoo (dot) com
Ooh, but there's so many! By far, the two top ones are Spirit Bound by Richelle Mead and Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins. Also Matched by Ally Condie, Linger by Maggie Stiefvater, Radiant Shadows by Melissa Marr, Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver, Immortal Beloved by Cate Tiernan... um I should stop there! 2010 was a great year :D Set to get even greater when Last Sacrifice is released!
ReplyDeleteThanks@

A favorite book. When you read so many, it is so hard to choose!
ReplyDeleteThe first ones that come to mind:
"Iron King" by Julie Kagawa (love Ash)
"Mockingjay" by Suzanne Collins (love Peeta)
I just received "pegusus" by Robin McKinely. I haven't read it yet, but I think it will be great.
"The Windswept Flame" book version by Marcia Lynn McClure
I should stop now. The list could go on and on.

I am going to have to go with Dead Tossed Waves, though there are a lot of books I love, (many of my favorite were probably MG and not YA though).
ReplyDeletejlynettes @ hotmail . com
Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins was the best 2010 young adult book that I read this year.
ReplyDeletefamilyhistree at yahoo dot com
Sarah E
Vixen by Jillian Larkin is my number 1 choice. Crescendo, Mockingjay, Firelight, Shade, Guardian of the Gate, Clockwork Angel, Shade are some others.
ReplyDeletecaliblue7 at gmail dot com
Beautiful Darkness by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl - love this series ;)
ReplyDeleteFallout by Ellen Hopkins.
ReplyDeleteyoteach24@comcast.net
I've read a lot of books this year, not all new and I'm still waiting for several that came out this year from the library (such as Nightshade, Clockwork Angel, and several others). I guess this would be my list so far:
ReplyDeleteThe Husband Tree
Firelight
Torment
A Tailor-Made Bride
tressa.sherman@hotmail.com
There were a LOT of great books this year but I have to say Mockingjay was probably my most anticipated and my favorite.
ReplyDeletelexieamay(AT)hotmail(DOT)com
Mockingjay! I've waited for that one. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a hard question for me because I'm a little slow on the uptake, meaning most of the books I read are a bit older than 2010. Anyway, here's a few new ones, I really enjoyed:
ReplyDeleteBurned by P.C. and Kristen Cast
A Small Furry Prayer by Steven Kotler
The Curse of the Wendigo by Rick Vancey
I'm sure Nightshade and Mockingjay serioulsy belong on this list, but I haven't been able to get a copy of either yet.
Firelight, Nightshade
ReplyDeletepinkpeonyblossom at gmail dot com
So hard to pick one!!
ReplyDeleteDead Tossed Waves, The Scorch Trials, Enchanted Ivy, Before I Fall
wolfpaw6 (at) hotmail (dot) com
ReplyDeleteI really liked The Magical Misadventures of Prunella Bogthistle, a fun middle grade fantasy.
ReplyDeletebookwormoakes@yahoo.com
If I have to pick from only the young adult genre I'd go with Mockingjay and Incarceron.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with most of the titles here... But some other ones that weren't mentioned?!?
ReplyDelete"Hex Hall" by Rachel Hawkins, "Paranormalcy" by Kiersten White, and "13 to Life" by Shannon Delany.
Thanks for all the great comments! I've contacted many of these authors and have giveaways set up for their books as part of BIR2010!
