Adult Books:

So although several adult series have been mentioned on this Ultimate List I think I'm going to keep them off this time around just because this is a YA (teen) section of the boards. I know many of us are already out of our teens (such as myself) but if you want adult books there are plenty of other groups on Barnes and Noble to check out.

Thank you to everyone who has added to this list or used it in the correct fashion. I hope that people will continue to Ask for recommendation as well as Give them.

[darkangel_1988]

[Twichic10210]

The Maze Runner By James Dashner now has a sequel called The Scorch Trials, which I believe is just as good as the first

That is listed under YA New Releases and Looking Forward to section on my fourth post on this page but thanks for reminding us.

It was published by L&L Dreamspell a week ago both in trade paperback and as an e-book.

It's a coming of age/romance novel. Sorry, no vampires!
