anabelsbrother:

firstly omg thank you and secondly YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU’VE JUST DONE

of course, the top one is MELINA MARCHETTA (you can hear my friends scream WHY ARE WE NOT SURPRISED LISA in the background SHUT UP FRIENDS ILY) 

really i mean just read everything she wrote just do it

but if you need a title to start with i’d say Saving Francesca + The Piper’s Son (you’ll understand my twitter/tumblr URLs! ha not sure how this is a plus but nvm do it friend do it). general fav is Jellicoe Road tho

now from the top of my head:

• The Wrath and the Dawn by Renee Ahdieh. it’s been days since I’ve finished this book but GOD I’M STILL OBSESSED WITH IT ugh DESTROY ME
  
• To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before by Jenny Han because cute ships and just fluffy goodness yes and also CUPCAKES. ALSO THE SEQUEL IS COMING OUT TOMORROW EVERYBODY SCREAM
  
• The Winner’s Curse/Trilogy by Marie Rutkoski because PAIN. JUST PAIN. MAKES YOU WANNA JUMP OFF THE BALCONY PURE PAIN. also sexual tension. the final book’s coming out in 2016 and i’ve christened it as The Winner’s Bang bc goddamn it we need more than a kiss after all that’s gone down in the two books ok
  
• Simon vs The Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli bc cute ships also. Simon the main character is gay and he’s dealing with all the coming out issue that is interesting to read about. the whole book is quite quotable and idk man i just SMILED a lot when i read the book it’s one of those books that make you feel good
  
• The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller bc PAIN ALSO. have you seen the thousand edits on tumblr? HAVE YOU SEEN HOW PAINFUL THEY ALL ARE? WILL I EVER GET OVER THIS STUPID FUCKING BOOK 
  
• Heist Society trilogy and Gallagher Girls series by Ally Carter. Heist Society bc well, HEISTS. by KIDS. also bc Ally Carter pulls the greatest plot twists. GG series bc GIRLS. GIRLS KICKING ASS. FRIENDSHIPS. it’s all cute and fluffy in the first three books but then shit happens in the 4th book which makes the 5th book kinda dark and twisty and 6th just plain OMFG 
  
• Penryn and the End of Days trilogy by Susan Ee because two words: Pooky Bear.
  

oh shit this is getting long but um just to put em out there real quick

• His Fair Assassin trilogy by Robin LaFevers, 
• Starbound trilogy by Amie Kaufman & Meagan Spooner and 
• Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer 
• SO MANY GREAT CHARACTERS, FRIEND

those are all YAs btw. for NA recs: 

• ADDICTED SERIES BY KRISTA AND BECCA RITCHIE ok? ok. 
  
• also check out The Deal by Elle Kennedy (so much love for this one), 
  
• Chase Me by Tessa Bailey (bc smut HA), 
  
• The Friend Zone by Kristen Callihan (i know the title’s meh but BEST FRIENDS TO LOVERS TROPE), 
  
• Sweet Filthy Boy by Christina Lauren (don’t be deterred by the ridiculous title; you’ll understand why it’s named that way after reading it!), 
  
• and Element of Chemistry by Penny Reid.
  

Adult romance recs: Stiletto series by Lauren Layne; SO FLUFFY, and On Dublin Street series by Samantha Young.
