Amazon Bestsellers for Teens

by annevm

Veronica Roth currently has all three titles from her Divergent series on Amazon's list of bestselling teen books. The first book, Divergent, is at #4 for Kindle and #14 in paperback. Insurgent for Kindle is #7. The third book in this hot series, Allegiant, is #18. Another book on the list that caught my eye is Looking for Alaska by superstar author John Green, currently #25 in paperback and #32 for Kindle. This book is on my summer reading list because I loved Green's The Fault in Our Stars. If you'd like to browse Amazon's full list of teen bestsellers, it's right here.

Actually I tried to read Divergent, but I just didn't like it and dropped it. However, I have read The Fault in Our Stars and Looking For Alaska. John Green is one of my favorite authors.

Wow - Allegiant isn't being released until 10/22, and it's that high on the (pre-release!) sales list! I hope it's better than Insurgent - I was disappointed by that, although I enjoyed Divergent.

Looking for Alaska
Paper Towns
An Abundance of Katherines
A collaboration book with David Levithan called Will Grayson Will Grayson
He has also done some short story works.

Looking forward to the third book being released. Divergent was fantastic, but I had a harder time getting into Insurgent. I think I need to read both again.

<em>Divergent</em> and <em>Insurgent</em> were great books. I have not read <em>Looking for Alaska</em>, but <em>The Fault in Our Stars</em> was excellent.

"The Fault in Our Stars" was amazing - one of the best books, adult or teen, that I read last year. But be sure to have lots of kleenex on hand when you finish it.

Yes. And it was a Tappan Top Ten for some reason....
I had it for lunchtime bookclub, read part of it, felt something tragic was going to happen, demanded that we read something else, then it ended up as a T4

@bookbird
Really? Lol. You take naps? Well, good luck in not being found out. My mom is cool with me playing. She just doesn't want me on it 24/7 but she helps me find codes and stuff every once in a while.

You don't ask about an online persons identity, then again maybe I should not say anything because I have used peoples actual names to address them. Bookbird, yes, I am surprised the Hunger Games is still really popular. I thought it was good, but certainly not anything to write home about.

those books also have movies made about them, usually. take the lightning thief/percy jackson. it became 'popular' enough that producers made a movie. I didn't hear many complaints, dispite the fact that the tralier was awful.

Most of the time when movies are made they become too action centered and look for ways to cut corners. For instance, Hades is not the enemy in the Percy Jackson books, however he is one of them in the movie.

I actually thought some movies were almost as good as the books. Like Hugo and Howl's Moving Castle (don't know if that really counts...).

The problem with the Tappan Top Ten Titles is that our librarian never seems to pick out good books. It is incredible frustrating, especially since I give her lots of suggestions.

Actually I think I might have missed a few codes since my mom was anxious to leave. Apparently there were three codes in the Teen section, but I only found two. How in the world did I miss a code inside that small room?

So? No one will try to guess my password. How else would you get my email, and for some weird reason, I can never edit my comments...

Hey! I was just going to comment that after I realized I pushed it over to two pages. *sticks tongue out at James*
TWO PAGES!

Oh, and Smiles, that technically wasn't your last three. It was like your fourth to last, then your second to last, then your last comment.

Sí. :( Now I can't change those… :( :( :( :( :( :(
I just realized those look like a person smiling with a unibrow… that's weird…

Hmmmm. Yeah. Morgsush, I don't think so. Mental people could hurt themselves on the metal. Especially when they are doing squat kicks. :P And is Jerry spamming?

I have to say that this one of the best summer reading lists for young adults I have seen in a while. It mentions some great books that I really look foward to reading in the future.

Submitted by Commander Taffy on Sat, 06/22/2013 - 2:53pm

The problem I have with summer reading lists is that I have usually read a few of them already and then I finish the rest in a couple weeks at most. That is the tragedy of being a fast-reader. :(

I didn't like the plot of Spirited Away and have not watched many other animes, but I really like My Neighbor Totoro. Also Hugo looked really similar to my brother, which was really funny because I noticed it after almost everyone else I went to the movie with.

If you want book recommendations go to Fun Fiction Series, a list I made. I listed a lot of really good series, but I won't bother to list them here because one, I would probably forget many of them and two, you have read a lot of them.

For people who like Clamp's work, I have made lists of Clamp's work. They have a lot of items. There must be +100 in my main Clamp list. I have separate lists for the individual series. No lists of Videos outside of the main clamp list yet, but I'm working on it!

Back to the topic of teen books, it's not on the Amazon Top 20 but I can highly recommend <em>Code Name: Verity</em>. Fabulous! I enjoyed it at least as much as <em>The Fault in our Stars</em>. (I needed kleenex in the middle of TFIOS, but not by the end...)
