His Dark Materials Series by Philip Pullman - This is my favourite UKYA series. Top 10 UKYA (with a few extra ones) In no particular order…
Here's what Jo had to say about her top ten reads: (but I also think they are alienating 99% of male readers with those types of covers) These are covers I would pick up, for sure, though I also know that the US covers I am talking about are (hopefully) not marketed to me. Just scan quickly down the wall and you'll see exactly what I'm talking about. ( Aussie YA and short YA fiction) In addition, the covers of UK YA book seem to be much more appealing than US covers, and by that I mean that they have actually interesting covers rather than some random girl in a dress or a guy and a girl caressing or some other cover that we keep seeing over and over and over again in the States. While looking online for books to fill the wall, I also found a site called UKYA, which seems to have a rather comprehensive set of reviews on young adult from across the pond but also covers books from other areas/genres.īy far, the most interesting aspect of putting this particular wall together was the fact that there seems to be a far greater number of male YA authors, at least the proportion of male authors to female authors in this wall is much greater than the prior ones. I mined her books and asked her and another Brit blogger/writer (Anna from Anna Scott Jots) to give us their top ten UK YA books, which I'll share in one moment. My first stop for sources was one of our favorite bloggers, Jo from Wear the Old Coat, who was kind enough to reorder her Goodreads shelves for me. Welcome to another Readventurer Wall of Books! This time, we're spotlighting YA literature from the United Kingdom.
