This week's topic from The Broke and Bookish is Top 10 Books for Readers Who Like... I chose Boarding Schools. I'm a sucker for a story that takes place in a boarding school. I think it's because most Americans don't go to boarding school, so it's an interesting concept, and what better way to get your young protagonists away from their parents, and amongst their peers, having adventures. Again, I had trouble keeping it to just 10 books, so I rounded it up to a dozen.
White Cat - Holly Black
A Great and Terrible Beauty - Libba Bray
I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have to Kill You - Ally Carter
Marked - P.C. + Kristin Cast
Evernight - Claudia Gray
The Princess Academy - Shannon Hale
Hex Hall - Rachel Hawkins
The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau Banks - E. Lockhart
Anna and the French Kiss - Stephanie Perkins
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone - J.K. Rowling
The Burning Sky - Sherry Thomas
Dead Beautiful - Yvonne Woon
Oh, oh oh! Wizard of Earthsea!
