If you spend any time at all on YA social media (Twitter, Instagram, and sometimes Facebook), chances are you’re inundated with book recommendations. And because everything is so of the moment, they’re probably things that either JUST came out, or worse (if you want to read them now right now) won’t be out for another couple months or (gasp!) years. In fact, everything is so RIGHT NOW or COMING SOON, that often stuff that just came out a couple months ago is long since forgotten. But I need some new book recommendations other than what’s staring out at me from the bookstagram every day. So yesterday on Twitter I asked this question:

And boy did I get some great responses. So many, that I wanted to share them with you!  (I probably got a lot of YA contemporary because people know it’s my favorite;  sorry for the imbalance!) If you’d like to add to the list, have at the comments below!
