If, Then for Books! Vol. 3

This series is starting to become somewhat regular on the blog! Let me know if you like it/what you think of it, because I really enjoy putting these sorts of posts together. It's time for a third If, Then, so without further ado, here are my recommendations!

If you liked The Art of Lainey by Paula Stokes, then you might like Going Vintage by Lindsey Leavitt.

Why?

Both of these contemporaries feature girls whose relationships end unpleasantly and decide to take some old school inspiration in the aftermath. They meet interesting new characters along the way, as learning something new about themselves as well.

If you liked Legend by Marie Lu, then you might like Article 5 by Kristen Simmons.

Why?

These dystopians, although they feature very different societies, follow a boy and a girl with very different roles in their respective governments, and how they grow and learn about each other and their society.

So, there is the third installment in If, Then. I hope you are enjoying this series, as it's an easy way for me to recommend books based on what you might like, and also hear from you in the comments about similar books I might enjoy!

If, Then for Books! Vol. 2

I'm back today with another volume of If, Then! I love sharing books that I think are similar in tone, concept, or writing. Last time I recommended a few books and I'm excited to share more today! 

If you liked Stolen Songbird by Danielle L. Jensen, then you might like Threats of Sky and Sea by Jennifer Ellision.

Why?

Both of these fantasy novels feature characters suddenly thrown into a mysterious, dangerous court setting trying to navigate the world with supernatural aspects such as trolls or elementals. Each has compelling writing and are first books with a lot of well done world building.

If you liked Just One Day by Gayle Forman, then you might like Amy and Roger's Epic Detour by Morgan Matson.

Why?

Both of these protagonists go on soul searching journeys with an unusual traveling companion, and discover the beauty of the world and the people in it along the way.

So, there is a brief description of why I think some of these books go well together. Let me know if you've read any, or if these picks remind you of some other books I might want to pick up. I'll see you next time!

If, Then for Books! Vol. 1

Sometimes, when I read a book I'm blown away and I want to read as many others in that specific genre as I can. With that in mind, welcome to If, Then for Books! Basically, I'm going to give a list of recommendations and a brief explanation.

If you liked The Madman's Daughter by Megan Shepherd then you might like Something Strange and Deadly by Susan Dennard.

Why? 

These darker tales involve supernatural science and a heroine with a relative lost in the mystery of the story. 

If you liked Rebel Belle by Rachel Hawkins then you might like Alienated by Melissa Landers.

Why?

A snarky, intellectual protagonist matches wits with a not-so normal guy, and both are quick, fast paced reads.


So, this is the first of a series of book recommendations. This will be a sporadic series, since it's just as I think of books that I enjoyed that have similar elements. I wanted to suggest different types of books that have some similar aspects so that if you want to try a different genre or explore more of a similar one, you can read some of these books. Let me know if you've read any of this books, or if you have any If, Then recommendations for me, and what you think of this idea as a series!
