Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish
There are quiet a few books I've loved but never reviewed - mostly because I either read them before I started blogging or because they are not YA titles. But all of them are major awesome! So, in no particular order, here are ten books I loved but have never reviewed.
1: Letters From The Inside by John Marsden
I remember being blown away by this when I first read it and it's stayed with me. I still wonder about it. The author is best known for his Tomorrow Series which is equally awesome!
2: Life As We Knew It by Susan Pfeffer
An awesome book! I was completely gripped and have recommended it so many times but for some reason I've never posted a review for it. I really don't know why - but if you haven't read it I highly recommend it!
3: Before I Die by Jenny Downham
This made me cry my eyes out! A beautifully written book that will always be a favourite of mine. I also have the audio - which is impossible to listen to when driving if you want to see where you are going - so I should really post a proper review for this!
4: The Harper Connelly Series by Charlaine Harris
I love this series! Technically not YA but would definitely appeal as a crossover to YA readers. It's crime with a paranormal/supernatural twist. But seriously good!
5: Christopher Pike's books - especially Remember Me and Weekend.
I know I keep going on about Christopher Pike - but I was (and still am) a massive fan of his books. I'm so pleased they are being re-released in gorgeous new covers. If you've not read any I would recommend Weekend, Remember Me (I like the first one as a standalone) , the Final Friends Trilogy and , of course, the Last Vampire Series:)
6: The Mediator Series by Meg Cabot
Another author I'm a major fan girl over, but I think the Mediator series is still by favourite. I also loved the 1800WhereRU series and her Heather Wells books.
7: The Bronze Horseman by Paullina Simons
I read this in a day (it's massive!) and apparently I didn't move. I must say I was completely and utterly gripped - it's such a majorly awesome book. And I had to wait 2 years before the sequel was published! I've loved all of Paullina Simon's books that I've read - but Tully is the other one that really stands out.
8: City of Bones by Cassandra Clare
I loved this but I'm sure I don't need to say much about it! For some reason I still haven't read the rest in the series so I should really rectify that soon.
9: Tiger Eyes by Judy Blume
Another favourite from when I was a teen. It's one of those books I read over and over - absolutely loved it!
10: Harry Potter Series by J K Rowling
Do I really need to say anything about this series! Although I am still really behind and have only read books 1 - 4! *hides*
Actually I could probably list many, many more!

Before I Die made me cry like a baby I loved it. Looking forward to the authors new book.
Loved City of Bones and the Harry Potter series too! And I've heard great things about Before I Die. I think I need to read it soon.

Great post! You have seriously only read the first 4 HP books? Noooooooooooo how could you!
The Mediator Series!!!!!!!!!
I loved those books! OMG!!!
Jesse!!!!! : )
Great list!
For me it seems the more I love the book, the harder it is to do anything more than gush.
Good list. I still need to read most of these!
Ah, Tiger Eyes was one of the first YA books I read as a kid - it's stayed with me ever since. I love Judy Blume.
What a great idea for a post!
I loved reading your list.
I read and reviewed City of Bones pretty recently... I'll definitely be finishing the series (though I did have some issues with it).
Also, yes, you MUST finish Harry Potter!!
I can't imagine what it must've been like waiting two years for the sequel to the Bronze Horseman! I only read it this year and was annoyed I had to wait a week for my library to get the sequel in from another branch.
