Hi, everybody! Lately, I’ve been thinking about how many books there are in the world. Too many for anyone to read all of them, right? I don’t think I could even read all of this year’s published books if I tried! That’s why I thought I’d write a post dedicated to Quiet YA, young adult novels that are lesser known than the bestsellers that are always recommended everywhere you go. Honestly, I prefer reading Quiet YA in comparison, mainly because it has less hype attached to it. Hype has ruined many a good book for me, so it’s a sweet treat to stumble upon a book that hasn’t been overhyped and find that it’s great, too! Here are just some of the books I’ve read that I would categorize as Quiet YA:
And that’s just some of the Quiet YA I know and loved! How about you? Read any Quiet YA recently? Have any that you’d recommend? Feel free to share in the Comments Section below!
Thanks for reading, everyone!

It was such a great novel! And it also taught me a lot about the Prohibition. 😉

I read Extraordinary Means a few years ago, and while I enjoyed it, I really felt like there was something missing for me in the emotional draw. Either way, it was such an interesting concept and a well-written novel which definitely deserves more recognition!

I really loved the concept behind it, too! That and The Beginning of Everything are really great novels by Robyn Schneider!

Totally totally totally agree with Speak Easy, Speak Love! I never see that book mentioned anywhere, but it was so much fun and so wonderful. The writing and gang and setting were amazing, but it’s so underrated. I’ll definitely have to check out more of these. Wonderful post, Sue! 🙂

I did, too. I didn’t even think about how both were. I read Tornadoes awhile ago, so I only remember parts of it. I read Rachel Maddow this year.

Check out Rafferty Lincoln Loves… by Emily Williams – it was independently published in the UK earlier this year and it’s truly fantastic. My kids are too young for it now, but it’ll definitely be one I pull out for them when they’re old enough.
