Okay. I'll admit it. I'm a list junky. I organize most aspects of my life around lists. Daily, long-range planning, goals, projects, and of course...reading. Imagine my delight when I stumbled across this list of 25 Greatest YA Books of All Time. What!?
I couldn't wait to examine it closely and see how many I already read. So, what's my number? Sadly, not 20, but it's close! PURPLE are the ones I've read.
1. Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling
2. Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging by Louise Rennison
3. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
4. The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton
5. The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky
6. The Princess Bride (yes, like the movie) by William Goldman
7. The Princess Diaries by Meg Cabot
8. The Sun is Also a Star by Nicola Yoon
9. to all the boys I've loved before by Jenny Han
10. A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle
11. An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir
12. Court of Thorns & Roses by Sarah J. Mass
13. Divergent by Veronica Roth
14. Hatchet by Gary Paulsen
15. Holes by Louis Sachar
16. The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan
17. Simon vs. the Homosapians Agenda by Becky Albertalli
18. Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo
19. The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
20. The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas
Overall, I think this is a solid list. But I will say I cannot believe Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell didn't make the cut. Honestly, that would be my number one, but I'm just your librarian. I'd love to hear about your favorites!
Happy Reading!
