BOOK: Shiver Trilogy by Maggie Stiefvater

BECAUSE: This trilogy made me rethink characters. It made me hate them and love them, and I didn't think that was possible on such a real level before this.

BOOK: LAMENT by Maggie Stiefvater

BECAUSE: LAMENT was the book that made me rethink everything I thought about being an author. This is the book that made me, in so many ways, want to become a writer. A writer.

BOOK: The Dreamhunter Duet by Elizabeth Knox

BECAUSE: A world of dreams, music, and love. These books made me understand that reality is not a constant thing, but a fragile thing you can bend and break and make your own.

BOOK: The Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins

BECAUSE: The emotional writing. The anti-war message. The relationships. These books made me think about choices. About war. About truth.
