Over the last several years, my reading habits have been heavily skewed towards YA books. I figured now would be as good a time as any to compose a Top Ten of my favorites. While composing this post, however, I had a major epiphany. You see, while there are many books from this genre that I enjoyed, there are very few that I absolutely LOVED. This is a stark contrast to the Top Ten Fantasies list I composed where I had a difficult time narrowing it down from the 20+ series that totally rocked my world. Evidently, I’ve been focusing on the wrong genre. Nonetheless, I did manage to figure out which YA books were the cream of the crop:
Top Ten Young Adult Books!
-
- Bloodlines by Richelle Mead
-
- Hex Hall by Rachel Hawkins
-
- Partials by Dan Wells
-
- The Selection by Kiera Cass
-
- Graceling by Kristin Cashore
-
- The Naturals by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
-
- Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
-
- All Our Yesterdays by Cristin Terrill
-
- Alienated by Melissa Landers
-
- Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead
What books would make your Top YA list?
The Obsessive Bookseller 
Most of these I haven’t read, but I did read and enjoy Graceling, Fire, and Bitterblue. I liked the way they all tied together, without being true sequels.

My list is kind of obscure, ha ha. I will say I do wish I had enjoyed Fire and Bitterblue as much as Graceling. I thought they were good books, but I saw places where I thought they could’ve been better.

Awesome list! I have read: bloodlines, Hunger Games & Vampire Academy.
I still really want to read: Hex Hall, Selection, All our Yesterdays & Alienated!

Thank you! The Richelle Mead ones are probably my favorites on the list, so I’m glad you’ve read those already. :-) I think the next one you should pick up is Hex Hall because it has a lot of great paranormal elements.
