And I bet. I am glad I was introduced to The Thief at such a young age but, really, being introduced to the book at any age is just awesome and totally worth it. And look into Crown Duel, Lauren! Based on your response and others on here, I'm thinking that I need to blog about the awesomeness that is Crown Duel in the near future.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03052456915027241479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4160066904665347291.post-54625992856562014842013-03-29T14:20:53.033-05:002013-03-29T14:20:53.033-05:00I still wish that I had loved Seraphina more! but ...I still wish that I had loved Seraphina more! but I LOVE LOVE LOVE The Thief and am so thankful for those that recommended it to me last year. Of course Harry Potter and The Hunger Games are up on my recommends too. I don't know anything about Crown Duel so I will be looking that one up for sure.

And I am glad to have found another blogger who has read and appreciates the awesomeness that is Crown Duel. :) All of my picks are fantasies, aren't they? Oh well. That's what I enjoy reading the most and so I feel like I have a better handle on the fantasy YA books out there.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03052456915027241479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4160066904665347291.post-74204475572495248982013-03-27T17:18:41.114-05:002013-03-27T17:18:41.114-05:00This is a great list, and so many of those books a...This is a great list, and so many of those books are of a similar vein, it's easy to see what your favorite types of reads are Amanda:) I actually have a copy of Crown Duel I have never read (I know, I know) It's sitting right beside the copy of Howl's Moving Castle which is still unread too.

I've heard NOTHING but brilliant things about it. And I also want to read Seraphina fairly soon because I love dragon books, but I also get a little nervous about dragon books because I love them so much - if that makes any sense at all.

I am so surprised that some not well-known books (like The Thief) are still known to a lot of bloggers, but others like Crown Duel aren't. Well, I'll definitely do my part and spread the love. :)Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03052456915027241479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4160066904665347291.post-53735146454016661262013-03-26T20:00:10.446-05:002013-03-26T20:00:10.446-05:00Thanks!

It's always awesome when I find out that other bloggers I respect have similar tastes in books. :) <br />If you enjoyed all of these other books, then I definitely think you should read Crown Duel at some point. It's a quick read and lots of fun.<br />And Lumatere isn't on here (yet), because, with the exception of Seraphina, which I connected to really quickly, I've read and reread the others many times. It's very difficult for me to determine if I liked something while in the moment of reading it, or whether I think it is something that will have a lasting impact. I did enjoy Finnikin, but I'm waiting to reread that and then read Froi and Quintana once Quintana releases and see what I think about the trilogy as a whole and how it's impacted me and such.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03052456915027241479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4160066904665347291.post-559141538241385682013-03-26T19:19:16.105-05:002013-03-26T19:19:16.105-05:00I've read ALL of these except Crown Duel, so I...I've read ALL of these except Crown Duel, so I clearly need to get on with that one. I just LOVE The Thief, Graceling, HP, and Seraphina, though. I'm sure I recommend those to practically everyone as well! Wonderful list, Amanda! :)Keertanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01071392026876644282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4160066904665347291.post-86179088630224110392013-03-26T15:20:53.244-05:002013-03-26T15:20:53.244-05:00A really good list :).

Most of these are my favorites as well and I often recommend them (OMG Megan Whalen Turner!) The only one I have to read is Crown Duel, and I honestly can't wait.<br />Fantastic list!
