Top 5 Wednesday: Hidden Gems

Top 5 Wednesday is a weekly book meme that was created and moderated by Lainey but is now hosted by Sam (not me). If you want to find out more about this group/feature or if you wanna join in on all this fun, you can visit the Goodreads group here!

I just found this group and joined! I’m excited to start getting into these weekly book memes again!

Since this week is a freebie, I’m going to do… Top 5 Hidden Gems in YA:

1.  Splintered series by A.G. Howard

This series doesn’t get much love. It really should. It’s an Alice in Wonderland retelling. It’s a bit out there but so worth it. The author has an incredible way of storytelling.

2. The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender by Leslye Walton

This is a great book. It’s a hauntingly beautiful story about a family and the hardships of love.

3. Moxie by Jennifer Mathieu

I’m not sure why I’m not seeing this everywhere. It’s a great book about girl power. Especially, in the Time’s Up movement.

4. Princess of Thorns by Stacey Jay

This book surprised me and it was better than I expected. It’s about Aurora, the daughter of Sleeping Beauty.

5. Ruby Red by Kerstin Gier

I really loved this series. It’s about time travel, which is a bit different than the normal fantasy book. It’s not really one that I’ve seen around much. It’s a shame because I rather enjoy it.

 

Any hidden gems that you love? Doesn’t have to be YA! I’d love to know.
