Top Ten Tuesday-Must Read YA books

Before I say anything else- let me wish all the Indians reading this a Happy Independence Day! We celebrate our 70th year of Independence this year!

Getting back to the post- I'm linking back up with the Broke and the Bookish for a Top Ten Tuesday post- the first after a break they took over the summer. My theme today is Young Adult books that are a must read- even for people with a strong dislike of Young Adult books!
(All links go to my review)




4. Because You'll Never Meet Me by Leah Thomas


6. The List by Siobhan Vivian





These were some of my all-time favourite reads. I think that any of these books will be enough to re-spark an interest in YA and in reading for anyone who has slowly given up. Have you guys read any of these books? Let me know in the comments below!

    I need to request Made You Up again. I got it in from the library just as I was leaving on a trip! Thank you for reminding me of it.

    I made you up is on my radar because of all the bad reviews it got supposedly as a bad rep for schizophrenia. A very close relative suffered from it for 50 years [unfortunately he passed last year] and I'm very curious about how it has been represented.

      I'm so sorry for your loss. I don't know much about Schizophrenia, but I really enjoyed the book.

      I find that one can never read as many books as they want to- but we should all keep trying anyway!

    My town actually has a big parade to celebrate India's Independence day, so Happy Independence Day. I see some of my faves up there (E&P, Mosquitoland) and a few I want to read (Made You Up, My Heart and Other Blackholes, This Adventure Ends). Great list!

The Hero, by Rabindranath Tagore

 The narrative poem" The Hero" was written by Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore. Set in a young boy's imaginations this narrative has all the necessary elements and is rich in imagery. The characters, plot, setting, theme, climax and idea are all very clearly outlined.  The setting of the poem falls within the boy's imagination. It is described to have 'spiky grass' and a 'narrow broken path'. It is also mentioned that the country is 'strange and dangerous'. The rurality of the setting is further accentuated when Tagore talks of the 'cattle' and 'wide fields'.

I cannot remember my mother by Rabindranath Tagore

 The poem has been titled " I cannot remember my mother". It attracted me for some reason, for I thought that surely, a poem couldn't be completely empty. There had to be some form of nostalgia, or memory in a poem about no remembrance.  I realized after reading it, that I was right. In fact, the poem's title can be considered an oxymoron. However, the extent to which this poem is nostalgic, the amount of tiny details in this poem, wow. But I don't suppose Tagore was a Literature Nobel Laureate for nothing. This poem has sensitized its audience to the poet's colossal loss, though the poet ,it seems,has made no effort to do so. There is nothing superfluous about his writing, and the poem seems like a true expression of his love for his mother. It talks about how his mother managed to leave her presence on everything before she passed away, and how those little memories of his,form an incomplete memory of his mother.

One by Shawnee Kellie

  The poem "One" by Shawnee Kellie is a very interesting and thought-provoking piece of writing. The poem spreads the message that it is not only a large group of people that can make a change, but one idea, one thought, one human that can help make the world a better place.
