Happy World Book Day, everyone!
This year I thought I'd celebrate by listing my top ten YA books released in the past five years. Okay, granted, there are more than ten books in this list, but it's a tough decision! Plus, you can't blame me for grouping the series.
So here they are, organised by release date:
Raging Star (May 2014) - Moira Young
Shimmer (July 2014) / Burn (June 2015) - Paula Weston
The Infinite Sea (September 2014) / The Last Star (May 2016) - Rick Yancey
The Art of Being Normal (Jan 2015) - Lisa Williamson
Daughter of Deep Silence (May 2015) - Carrie Ryan
The Rest of Us Just Live Here (Aug 2015) - Patrick Ness
Am I Normal Yet? (August 2015) / How Hard Can Love Be? (Feb 2016) - Holly Bourne
Beautiful Broken Things (Feb 2016) - Sara Barnard
A Quiet Kind of Thunder (Jan 2017) - Sara Barnard
All About Mia (Feb 2017) - Lisa Williamson

I found that post on my phone while waiting for a bus, and it quietly reminded me of old days when stories felt like friends. In the middle of all that, book publishing dreams I once had came back, soft and a little painful.
