Blue Bloods was also very good, but VA is better. The Hunger Games is outstanding and so is Clare's Mortal Instruments series. I would read Mortal Instruments, Hunger Games, Blue Bloods, then lastly VA so you'll be ready for the 6th VA book in December. <br />I'm putting the Luxe series on my TBR list...I had never heard of it until your post.

Thanks for all the great responses, guys. The...Wow! Thanks for all the great responses, guys. They have been a huge help! You lot are great!<br /><br />So, I think I've made my decision. I'm going to start with The Luxe series. It sounds unlike anything I've read before, so I'm excited to read something new and unique. Also, it helps that this series if finished, so no waiting around for new releases for me!<br /><br />I'll read the Vampire Academy books next - I really like the sound of these ones, but I might wait until the series has wrapped to start on them. Blue Bloods will be third. I've read some mixed reviews on this one, so it goes into third place.<br /><br />Sounds like I really need to check out Cassandra Clare's books and the Hunger Games series. I can't believe I'm so behind! Thanks for all the other recommendations too - I'll check them all out. I'm going to have a huge reading list!<br /><br />Thanks again for all the replies! :)Leanna Ellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17156147175772720617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5689237444917451564.post-69203786905757457522010-06-04T19:51:48.298+01:002010-06-04T19:51:48.298+01:00I've got the Blue Bloods and like you am also ...I've got the Blue Bloods and like you am also busy trying to catch up!

Our YA librarian swears they're the best vampire books out there right now and she's not really a huge fan of the vampire genre so if she says they're awesome, then I would 100% say they're awesome. I've also heard amazing things about Luxe (I'm starting it myself). Blue Bloods is take it or leave it so I'd put that at #3 on the must-read now list. <br /><br />On a side note - The Imortal Instruments are AWESOME you really should read em' if you're looking for a non-typical paranormal fantasy YA read. They're fantastic and Cassandra Clare is really accessible to bloggers and fans - she's great.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5689237444917451564.post-48856590063138325732010-06-04T14:41:56.876+01:002010-06-04T14:41:56.876+01:00Interesting choices, I wonder what you choose.

I started to read Blue Bloods the other night and after the first chapter I was all 'damn, if I get into this book it means haveing to read all the other ones to catch up and then have to wait for the next one... like House of NIght (which should end but is being dragged out)'. So go for the completed series AND THEN once the end of July, beginning of August hits start reading the Hunger Games because it is AMAZING and I can't wait for Mockingjay to come out!-khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05300379143519006957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5689237444917451564.post-58808402098907617662010-06-03T23:48:28.634+01:002010-06-03T23:48:28.634+01:00Top of the list is Vampire Academy, i'm on Spi...Top of the list is Vampire Academy, i'm on Spirit bound now.
