New books are what usually get most of the blog page-time. But some of my
favorite YA books came out before blogging was even a big deal. Thankfully, almost all of these authors are still producing fantastic books (I'm still really sad about Diana Wynne Jones, though), but I feel like I should give a shout-out to these old favorites that have been on the backlist for a while!
TITHE by Holly Black
CROWN DUEL by Sherwood Smith
So, what's your favorite YA book from before five years ago?
Ooooh, those are some good ones. :) My pick would have to be Elsewhere by Gabrielle Zevin.
ReplyDeleteAll of those are on my list of favorite books. The Circle of Magic series by Pierce is also great. I think I read Sabriel and then attempted to read all of Nix's books when I was in middle school.
ReplyDeleteI love love love Sabriel. In fact, I've been thinking about going back and rereading it. You may have just inspired me!
ReplyDeleteI adore Howl (and just about everything Jones wrote) and Sabriel. I'm also forever in love with Ursula LeGuin's A Wizard of Earthsea series.
ReplyDeleteAhhh! You love Crown Duel? That is one of my absolute FAVORITE books EVER! :D
