Top 10 Tuesday is created and hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.
For this prompt, I have picked books that I wish I had read when I was a teenager. These are also all books that I think could spark great discussions.
Let’s dive in!

10. The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
9. All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven
8. The Art of Being Normal by Lisa Williamson

6. The First Time She Drowned by Kerry Kletter
5. Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Sáenz
4. Eliza and Her Monsters by Francesca Zappia
3. A List of Cages by Robin Roe
2. Highly Illogical Behavior by John Corey Whaley
1. A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness, Illustrated by Jim Kay
Thanks for reading!
What book do you wish you could have read as a teen?
I've actually only read two of these, TFIOS and A Monster Calls – and yes, I wish could have read them then.
🙂
I read TFIOS and have a copy of The Monster Calls but haven't read it yet. I've heard such good things about Eliza and her Monsters that I'm really not surprised it made your list. Good job!
😀 Oh my gosh, Eliza and her Monsters is so lovely!
There’s a few on this list I really want to read! Great picks!
😀
I haven't read John Green yet but he's on my list. And I've heard really good things about Eliza and her Monsters, so I need to add tha tone as well!
😀
Great list! I wish all of these books had been around when I was a teen.
For sure!! They are all so wonderful!
I've only read a couple of selections on this list. But growing up and moving around (son of an Air Force officer), I missed reading some of the classics as part of the English curriculum. I find myself wishing I could have read To Kill A Mockingbird with my peers and participating in the discussion of it. Or maybe not. Because I might not have liked it as much as I did reading it on my own.
Oh that's a great point! There are many books I read in school that I didn't like, but LOVED when I read them later on in life.
Great YA picks! I wish they were around too when I was a teenager!
Thank you! 🙂
Eliza and Her Monsters almost ended up on my list. And I can see The Art of Being Normal being a great book for teenagers.
😀
Such a great selection of book for your future teen! 🙂
Thank you! 🙂
The Fault In Our Stars is such a wonderful read!!
😀
All Of The Cages has such a beautiful cover, but I've never read it… oO And then there's The Fault In Our Stars… I sometimes feel like I'm the only one who wasn't all that sure about the book. I loved reading it, but somehow the hype passed me by. Still love your list tough 🙂 My friend lent me A Monster Calls a few years back and I found it such an interesting read. Especially as it is completely different to what I would usually pick up.
Oh you gotta check out A List of Cages. It's incredible!! 😀
Interest list. I haven't read any of these and have only heard of a couple of them. I might just have to check some of them out.
Definitely! 🙂
Such a fab list~! Love love love Eliza and Her Monsters!
Thank you! 🙂
I enjoyed 'Stars' SO much more than I anticipated. Sure it's sad, but there's also a great deal of "joy" in the story because of Hazel and Gus' relationship. Though I've not read them, I've heard great things about Jennifer's and Tamara's books. 🙂
🙂
Great choices! YES to All the Bright Places. I would’ve loved that book as a teen.
Aj @ Read All The Things!
😀
These are great! I've already added some of these on my TBR list! Thanks for stopping by earlier. 🙂
Of course!
I've never read any of these, but may have to give a few of them a try. Thanks for some great ideas!
🙂
I have read half of these, and they were all really emotional, but beautiful reads.
🙂
Fantastic set of books! The Fault in Our Stars would have made me sob as a teen. (Who am I kidding? I sobbed as an adult!)
Same here! haha
This is a great list, there are several on here that I've never heard of but now must add to my ever growing TBR pile. Can't wait to try them out!
Elena @ The Novelistics

Yes yes yes to Ari and Dante. I've heard so many wonderful things about Eliza and Her Monsters. I have the author's first work that I still need to get to, but I'm looking forward to this particular title because of the praise.
I can't wait to see what you think when you get the chance to read it!! It's so lovely!
The cover of The First Time She Drowned is beautiful!
🙂
I love that you included Eliza and Her Monsters! It's been one of my favorite books this year.

😀
Fantastic list! There's a few titles on here I've been considering reading.
Thank you! I hope you enjoy them when you get the chance to read them! 🙂
What a great choice. I've now got a longer TBR list! lol Is a Monster Calls now a film?
It is! And the film is AMAZING!
Great list! TFIOS is a great pick – I felt super impacted by it as a teen. It was a great reminder to love people in the time we're given.
