Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. If you want to participate, click here. This week's theme is Top Ten Books On My Spring 2020 TBR. In (mostly) order of priority, these are the books that I look forward to reading the most this spring!
1. City of Beasts by Corrie Wang
For seventeen years, girls and boys have lived in separate cities. Glori Rhodes believes what society has told her, that boys are Beasts- until her mother gives birth to one. After her little brother is kidnapped, she infiltrates the City of the Beasts to get him back, and maybe unite the sexes.
2. Scars Like Wings by Erin Stewart.
16-year-old Ava Gardener just survived a fire that killed her parents, her best friend, and burnt 60% of her body. Soon, she must return to school with the help of her new friend, Piper.
3. The Grace Year by Kim Liggett
In this dystopian society, the belief is that when girls are 16, they have magic powers of aphrodisiacs- so for that year, all girls are banished into the wild and must survive on their own.
4. Because it is My Blood (Birthright Book 2) by Gabrielle Zevin.
After reading All These Things I've Done, I am ecstatic to read the second book! After Anya is released from jail, she is forced to flee the country and hide out in a chocolate farm in Mexico. But her criminal family starts catching up to her- fast.
5. A World Without You by Beth Revis
17-year-old Bo believes he has the power to travel through time, having delusions of being in the Civil War or seeing the Titanic sink. When his parents send him to a school for troubled kids, he falls in love with Sofia. When she dies, he believes that she is trapped in time, and that he can save her. He must decide whether or not to get better, or live in psychosis with the love of his life.
6. Don't Touch by Rachel Wilson
Caddie has ambitions to be an actress- and she is a good one, too. But her OCD threatens that. When she lands Ophelia in her school play of Hamlet, she must overcome her fears.
7. Jane Anonymous by Laurie Faria Stolarz
For seven months, Jane was held captive in a tiny room. After she escapes and returns home to her parents, she must find a way to deal with the trauma.
8. Echos Between Us by Abigail Johnson
Veronia has brain cancer and can't stop seeing her mother's ghost. She has accepted her eventual death and pushes everyone away. But when she meets Sawyer, she might find a reason to live.
9. Not a Drop to Drink by Mindy McGinnis
Lynn lives alone in the forest with a pond in her backyard. In this dystopian society, water is a scarce commodity- and people are willing to kill her for it.
10. Last Night I Sang to the Monster by Benjamin Alire Sáenz
18-year-old Zach is in rehab for alcoholics instead of high school. The other pressing issue is that he cannot remember how he ended up there or the trauma that made him start drinking to begin with.
What YA books are you excited to read this spring?

Some interesting reads. https://pmprescott.blogspot.com/2020/03/ttt-031720.html
ReplyDeleteI've read SCARS LIKE WINGS and NOT A DROP TO DRINK. I enjoyed both, probably the latter more than the former since I like dystopian/post-apocalyptic novels. I hope you enjoy all the titles on your list!
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT!
Great list! I'm part way through The Grace Year and it's, sadly, not living up to the hpye for me. I hope you have a better time with it!
