Top Ten Tuesday: Books for Starters in YA Science Fiction

by

Science fiction is currently divided into a dozen sub-genres which means that there’s something for everyone. So I decided to pick up ten of the most popular titles that YA science fiction has to offer. There are no descriptions because it’s all pretty self-explanatory.

So have you read any of these? If not, do you plan to?

  1. This is so cool and creative! I love it! I'm just starting to read Cinder and loving it so far.

  4. This is a really cool Top Ten you got here! I loved Cinder and Under the Never Sky. Should definitely try out The 5th Fave and Pivot Point though.
    here's our TTT

  6. Oh god this is so cool!! It made me really happy to see Pivot Point and Hunger Games in the list! These books are on my TBR! Cant wait to read those <3 Lovely *list* graphics! :'D

    TTT

  8. "There is no hope for you here" LOL. And great picks, I loved The Hunger Games and The 5th Wave 🙂

  9. omg, this is brilliant! I've read a lot of those, and I think I prefer more sci-fi adventure — a la Under the Never Sky. Love that you broke down the genre into subcateogries this way 😀

  10. What an awesome flowchart! I really need to get to the ACROSS THE UNIVERSE series – I've had the first one sitting on my shelf for-EV-er…

  11. I plan to read all of these. Of course, besides The Hunger Games as it's the only one in the list I've read! This is a great flowcart! I plan to tackle Uglies, Cinder, The Knife of Never Letting Go or The 5th Wave first as I am familiar with them. The rest comes after! 😀

  13. I love the flowchart! You have a lot of great books listed here – I'm getting more and more interested in Pivot Point and All Our Yesterdays, I just need to find some time to read them!

  14. OMG, this flowchart is fantastic. *loves* All of your picks are so perfect!! I'm bookmarking this to keep for reference because seriously. Amazing.

  16. Sana, this is SO FREAKING AWESOME!!! I LOVE what you've done with the recs! Super cool graphic, girl 😀

    I've read pretty much everything on here, and the others are on my tbr, except for The Knife of Never Letting Go. 'What's beyond civilization', huh? Maybe I should give it a try…

    Btw, the blog redesign looks good 🙂

  17. ha! this is awesome! i love the last one— there is no hope for you here. hahaha Cinder and Pivot Point are high on my list to read soon! I generally like sci-fi as long as there is a sprinkle of romance thrown in. 🙂

  18. This is amazing! I love the "there's no hope for you here." Made me laugh 😀 I've heard All Our Yesterdays is really good – I have a friend who keeps telling me to read it… Maybe I'll get on that soon 🙂

  22. Love the graphic! I've only read The Hunger Games ahhh but I've heard great things about all the other books on your list! 🙂

  23. Awesome way to do TTT! I've always wanted to make a flowchart but I'm laaazy. I need to read All Our Yesterdays!

  24. I approve of that last bit. "there is no hope for you." 😀

    And I wonder what The Knife of Never Letting Go is about. I've heard of it, but I'm just going to scurry off to check it on goodreads. And I really like your graphic! I'm so happy I've read a few of those.

  25. Heehee I love the flowcharts! I recently used similar ones at our library for a "What's Next?" display for after you've read the Hunger Games. Some really great books and so many I still need to read – Cinder, Pivot Point and The 5th Wave. My TTT.

  26. Oh Sana, this is brilliant!! What a great idea to do a flowchart. Me, I'm a sci fi LOVER so I actually want to read ALL of these books (I have read half already), but this would be perfect for people who are a little bit iffy about the genre. Not sure why – it's awesome! Love the "There no hope for you here…" comment!
