Today I finished my #bestofnovember - a #UKYA book set in a world best summed up by my BFF when I described it to her: 'A Death Eater's dream'. Magic is might in this dystopian fantasy in which the 'Equal Republic of Britain' is ruled by the magically Skilled & everyone else has to spend ten years as a slave. I loved all the plots and intrigue and I want the sequel now! Unfortunately, this first book isn't even out yet! #photoadaynov16 #UKYANov

Here's three in one - #NovemberRain - a book with a soundtrack (Sarra recommends Belle & Sebastian), #mostreread and #readinginbed! I have read this book and the rest of this trilogy so many times I long ago lost count! It was originally a column in J-17 magazine when I was an actual teen and I was totally obsessed with it. I think her recent books are better but this will always have a special place in my heart. #UKYANov #photoadaynov16 #UKYA #YA

This is the book I've reread most over the last few years - a wonderful contemporary with a great bunch of friends at the centre and so many hilarious lines! #UKYANov

I've had this book for AGES but haven't worked up the nerve to read it. Noughts and Crosses absolutely devastated me, I couldn't sleep the night after I read the ending! #UKYANov #YA #UKYA #youngadult #malorieblackman

BookishMarginalia That seems very intense. 8y
juliannebenford @BookishMarginalia I did not see the ending coming! 8y

My #NovemberRain (Book plus soundtrack) pick for #UKYANov pairs a favourite series of mine - which takes a classic novel in a new direction with a 21st century sequel to Dracula - with a stunning CD which sees a fabulous pop group's songs covered by metal acts.

This is a fab book with fab characters and a great storyline. I love Non's books because they always tackle teen issues brilliantly and really get you thinking #UKYANov #pocmaincharacter

This was the last #UKYA book that I bought after watching the #zoellabookclub video and thinking how fun it sounded. I've since read it and can confirm it is a fun read and I thoroughly enjoyed it (see previously posted review) #UKYANov

yayeahyeah Thanks for taking part again! I just read the spin-off short story from this series in the Winter Magic anthology and loved it - super cute! 8y
Flower_Fairy Oh I didn't know about this! Just looked up the anthology and it sounds like a nice winter/Christmas read 😊 8y
Fallen-in-between-the-pages For some reason I thought the u.k cover had a different title then the u.s one did 😮 7y

There are so many amazing UKYA LGBT books out there but I have chosen Girl hearts Girl because it's just that little bit different. This book is a memoir and it is full of struggles, difficulties and finally learning to love yourself. It ends with hope and happiness and that is just perfect. #UKYANov
