So, what are people reading in YA right now? What have you liked in the last year?

My kid is still ga-ga over the Warriors series (cats acting un-catly), and Tamora Pierce's "Protector of the Small" series and... the prequel series to that. >_> Do those count?

Warriors series is by Erin Hunter. It may be aimed more at the late middle-school/early high school lot, though it's sort of in the "well, it's not children's books" area of the bookstore. I, who cut my teeth on Intelligent Cat Stories with things like Bunnicula, Ratha's Creature, and Tailchaser's Song, find the series to be kind of... "Cats don't do that!!" I have to tell myself they're aliens that aren't quite cats.

The kid loves them and plays Warriors with some of her friends at school. Her cat-character has been promoted and given her warrior name, recently, huzzah! O:J

The Tamora Pierce one I couldn't remember is the Song of the Lion series, I believe. (Saw one of the books in the bathroom that she usually uses.)

The minx will be 9 on the 17th. She's marathonned Harry Potter, though, and given good tries for the Tremeaire (however that's spelled! His Majesty's Dragon, anyway) book, one of The Sharing Knife books, and... hm, Dragonsong (McCaffery). She also reads graphic novels like Girl Genius and ElfQuest, as well as comics like Teen Titans Go, Tiny Titans, and the Supergirl-as-a-school-age-kid one.

Makes her kind of hard to catagorize.

My kid is also enamored of the Warriors series and asked for it for Christmas. She's 10. I would recommend it as a well-written read.
