Top 100 YA List


I saw this groovy post on Rachel from Fiktshun's blog who found it from Novel Thought's & Kaitlyn in Bookland's blog. I do believe that Reading Teen had a part in this and they got the idea from the folks over at Book Briefs!  As you can imagine the list goes on and on.
Rachel had so much fun with it and was very creative with her post (as always!) I thought I might as well give it a try. The only downside could be... is a trip to the bookstore, right?

I've highlighted the books I've read in purple. And, as you can see only 13 of the 100 lines have purple in it, so what does that mean for me exactly? Am I not a hipster? Hmm..

Wow! I am shocked at how little the number is! And honestly? I have quite a few of these books sitting here unread! Shame on me, I know. Well, that was fun and I would love to check out what you have read (or not read! Ha.) So, why don't you try it out and share the info!

Until next time..
Happy Reading & Arrivederci.

  1. Ha, that's not so bad because you read the entire Vampire Academy series. You are totally forgiven because of that :)

    I'm like you, I own a bunch of unread books. But there are a lot here that I didn't even know about, so I'm going to be adding to my TBR, too. Poor TBR pile!

    Great reads, and especially The Hunger Games, which I shamefully have still not read.

  2. I actually waited until Richelle was done with the entire series before I read Vampire Academy! Then, I read them all one after another. It was great! :)
