This week’s Topic: Best Girl in a Prom Dress Books
You see the covers everywhere: it’s a current trend for YA books to feature a gorgeous girl in an equally gorgeous prom dress on the cover. But which books are actually worth picking up?
Entwined by Heather Dixon
This is a lovely retelling of The Twelve Dancing Princesses that is full of Jane Austen-esque romance and chilling magic. I definitely recommend it for anyone who loves a sweet romance, and lots of sweet family moments.
Alice in Zombieland by Gena Showalter
Zombies. Hot guys. Magic. Snarky best friends. This series is a ridiculously fun romp, with some zombie madness thrown in. And lots of making out.
The Selection by Kiera Cass
I love these covers. Depending on how much you like romance, you may or may not like these books. It’s sort of like The Bachelor but set in a mildly dystopian world where the Bachelor is a Prince and the girl he chooses will be the next Queen. Just a warning, there’s a really annoying love triangle, but over all, this is a very entertaining series. With gorgeous covers.
The Winner’s Curse by Marie Rutkoski
This a great romance/fantasy (with a gorgeous cover) about the daughter of a general and a slave she buys for herself. The slave turns out to be more than she was expecting (of course) and things start getting very complicated (war’s a-brewing).
On my To-Read list:
Next Week’s Topic: What Would Jesus Do? Best books with religious or inspirational themes.
This doesn’t necessarily have to be Christian books; next week’s topic is all about those spiritual or religious books that speak to your soul. Which are your favorites?
Great recommendations! The only one I’ve actually read on your list of books is My Soul to Take. I love the Soul Screamers series, it’s one of my favorites. I have two books from that series on my list.
