Honestly, the topic was top ten books in "x" setting, but as the start of school is just around the corner, I chose the academic setting.

Yes, another Benway book! If you haven't read them, why the heck not?! This is by far my favorite Benway novel set in high school! You should absolutely read it!
Great list! I haven't read any of these! Although have been in two minds about picking up The Raven Boys. Would you recommend it?
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed The Raven Boys! I would definitely recommend it! :)
DeleteI have seen Sarah Ockler's books, but I've never read one. I've decided to add her book to my TBR!
ReplyDeleteYay! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteNice list! I'm really looking forward to the 3rd book in Gabrielle Zevin's trilogy this fall!

DeleteGreat list! I've either read or have most of these on my TBR list. I also love the topic, I thought of doing boarding schools for mine but then didn't think I would be able to come up with enough books.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my TTT post!
OMG, The DUFF and All These Things I've Done are both my favorite books ever!
ReplyDeleteBut I'm lacking when it comes to reading books set in a school setting. I'll be reading Meant to Be this summer though!
Yay! I'm glad you are willing to give Meant to Be a try!
DeleteMan. I gotta read some Raven Boys.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed it! Thanks for stopping by Juju! :)
DeleteI own The Raven Boys, The DUFF, and The Liar Society but haven't read any of them yet. Shame on me!
ReplyDeleteMy TTT.
The Liar Society would probably be my favorite of late! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI love books set in academic settings so I'm definitely going to be checking out some more of these. I've actually only read 3 of the books you listed so the rest are getting moved to the top of my TBR. =)
