Top 5 Books set at Boarding Schools I Want to Read

Top 5 Book Recommendation Series

This Top 5 series started back in October and I kind of lost motivation for making it every week. But it’s back! This is a series of books that I want to read that all have a common theme. Previously on the blog I have focused on witches, werewolves, thrillers, faeries, fairy tale re-tellings and high fantasy. I am going to try and bring this series back for every Saturday.

The schedule for July is:

7/6/19 — Books set at Boarding Schools

7/13/19 — Books about Royalty

7/20/19 — Sequels

7/27/19 — Psychological Thrillers

Rules!

Boarding School Settings

So this has always been one of my favorite settings. Many of my favorite series are set in boarding schools and when I was younger I always wanted to go to one myself. Some of my favorite series set in these settings are: Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling, The Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead, Private by Kate Brian, House of Night by P.C. and Kristin Cast. I would love to hear your favorite books set at boarding school settings or books that you would like to read with boarding school settings, so please comment below so we can talk about them!

The Furies by Katie Lowe

Publication Date: 10/8/19

This book was compared to The Craft, which was a great movie. Witches and mean girls in a boarding school setting? What more could you ask for? I actually have an ARC of this one and I can’t wait to read it.

Good Girls Lie by J.T. Ellison

Publication Date: 12/31/19

A boarding school for really smart and really rich girls is always a recipe for disaster, but when a popular girl gets murdered the truth — and the lies — start to come out. AHHH!! I have an ARC of this book as well and I can’t wait to read it, unfortunately it doesn’t come out until the end of December, so I will probably wait until closer to publication to read it.

Touch of Frost by Jennifer Estep

This is the first book in the Mythos Academy series. I got the entire series as a gift a while back, but still haven’t read it yet. It’s full of mythology and magic and set at a boarding school. I can’t believe I haven’t read this yet.

The School for Good and Evil by Soman Chainani

This book is technically a Middle Grade novel where the girls and boys are trained to be fairy tale heroes and villains at the School for Good and Evil. I love re-tellings and I love boarding school settings, and I actually have a copy of this. The only reason I haven’t read it yet is because I’ve had other books to read lately.

Dead School by Laura Gia West

So this book is about how after a girl dies she winds up in Dead School, a school for dead teenagers. The concept itself is incredibly interesting, so I really want to read this one.
