I...I just recently re-discovered YA books again. I've been reading them along with my adult books.<br /><br />Oh, the Uglies series by Scott Westerfeld is clean, as far as I remember. They do deal with some mature issues in the third book but book one and two I think are safe. A little kissing but that's really about it. It's a really great series. :D Oh, Got Fangs by Katie Maxwell was a hilarious read, but I don't really remember the content. I know book two gets really steamy but I think the first book was just silly fun.<br /><br />Oh, I have an award for you on my blog~Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2550157220540446805.post-4564242776706157612010-03-01T22:35:35.259-05:002010-03-01T22:35:35.259-05:00Honestly I haven't read any YA books since I w...Honestly I haven't read any YA books since I was 10 or 11 other then the Twilight series.

It's a WONDERFUL book and definitely appropriate for a 10-year-old. If she likes it, there are two more books in the trilogy.Karen W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02893272596408207973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2550157220540446805.post-14583631344045162952010-03-01T20:15:39.446-05:002010-03-01T20:15:39.446-05:00I read a lot of YA books.My niece got me into read...I read a lot of YA books.My niece got me into reading them.<br /><br />Vampire Academy series by Richelle mead is great as is the Moganville Vampire series by Rachel Caine(my favorite YA series)<br />Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater<br />The Wake Series by Lisa McMann <br />Wicked Lovely Series by Melissa Marr.There are so many great YA books.elaing8https://www.blogger.com/profile/01040778428228318383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2550157220540446805.post-61163200865806223742010-03-01T19:26:52.941-05:002010-03-01T19:26:52.941-05:00I have Firespell on the to-get list for her.

My favorites are Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater and The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins but wouldn't recommend either for a 10 year old (I have a almost 10 year old son). Inkheart by Cornelia Funke and Spellhunter by R.J Anderson were both good and I wouldn't mind my kids reading them.<br />I've heard great things about The Mysterious Benedict Society but neither my son or I have read them. <br /><br />My son is into the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series at the moment. He's read them over and over. He also likes Charlie Bone and The Guardians of Ga'hoole. He thinks romance is icky and avoids anything that might even mention the word kiss ;) He's not a fan of vampires either and thinks Twilight is "dumb". Nothing like his vamp loving mama :)CHRISTIEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08201194083470343354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2550157220540446805.post-45543178911224696082010-03-01T18:25:34.720-05:002010-03-01T18:25:34.720-05:00i have read all kinds of ya i like the vampire dia...i have read all kinds of ya i like the vampire diary booksvickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05921052842846270204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2550157220540446805.post-7184761547870481122010-03-01T17:47:30.383-05:002010-03-01T17:47:30.383-05:00The Dark Divine was pretty safe, so is Forget-Her-...The Dark Divine was pretty safe, so is Forget-Her-Nots.

It's hard to find decent books u8nless you read them yourself to know exactly what's in them.Wenonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06314329676811664257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2550157220540446805.post-2367003645217932832010-03-01T16:55:38.716-05:002010-03-01T16:55:38.716-05:00I do read some YA if there is something with good ...I do read some YA if there is something with good reviews that sounds interesting.
