Thank you for this!! I am a mom of a 14 year old, and it is so so hard to find clean books for her to read. It is crazy about some of the things that they are writing for teenagers these days

[NightingalePaperCo]

Thank you for the recommendations, Oceana! I love reading YA books when I need a break from deeper adult literature. Definitely going to check out a bunch of these!

[lindseylou]

Thank you so much for your recommendations! I've been going through audiobooks like water this year and it's so nice to know that the books I read aren't going to surprise me with explicit content.

[Jolly.Joy_Rose]

As usual added many recs to my TBR I like YA because I feel they lean more towards cute and sweet

Would love to see how you've organized your bookshelves and decor because I noticed in the last video you changed it around <3 I always find it interesting to hear why people put their books in certain ways

Thank you!!! This is wonderful! We have the Selection series on our shelf but have not read it yet. It can move to the top of the list!

[ReyDayami]

Thank you, Oceana!!! ❤ I’m one of those moms who asked for these type of videos. They all look so good! And did you say, Kpop?! Omgeeee😅 Now Im gonna have to buy this to quite a few teens! 😂

[EvelynRoseA]

Yessss! I’ve been waiting for this. Thank you!!!

[thechristianbookshelf]

I appreciate the way you set up the expectations for this video.

[IntuitiveReading]

Kiera Cass!! Yes!! Love her books! A thousand Heartbeats and The selection series. ❤️ I liked the Siren too but definitely not as much as the previous books mentioned.

[LexiBetweenTheLines]

Love Divergent! Very interested in the Naturals too and I’ve been super curious about A Thousand Heartbeats and Powerless too!

[Celestria]

You're so good at recommendations!!

[Angelareadsalot]

I absolutely loved Legend, The Naturals, and XOXO! Going to have to check out the rest of these. Thank you 😍

[kristiacole]

The Naturals sounds really good! I'll have to check it out! 😄

[IntuitiveReading]

Cinder is a good one too! I didn’t like Scarlet as much and didn’t continue in the series…now I’m thinking I should…

Also, unpopular opinion, I liked the first 2 divergent movies better than the books. Don’t come at me in the comments.😆

[BookLoverAmanda]

I remember loving kasie west too!❤ great for teens!

[sarahrosereadss]

I have really been into a fantasy kick, and Waterfall sounds really good and right up my ally.

I LOVED Cinder!! So good! Oh my gosh and yes Divergent is one of my all time favs!!

[KarlyA.]

I appreciate this so much!! It’s difficult to know which YA books are clean.

[sarahrosereadss]

Yup Legend too!! So so good!! I am all about the dystopian books!

[BookLoverAmanda]

Sooo many have loved Xoxo so I gotta read that too😂
