So this has been floating around the blogisphere for a while and I had yet to try it out for myself- so here it is (I should make note that I got it from Fitkshun's Ramblings, who got it from Novel Thoughts, who probably got it from someone else, you get the idea)!
I bolded all of the books/ series that I have read... Many of the series where I have only read the first couple of books in is because I just couldn't force myself to continue reading them (ie. Alyson Noel's "The Immortals" series or Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl "Caster Chronicles").
All in all I have read 35 of the top 100. I was so glad to see a lot of my childhood favs on this list- like all of Meg Cabot's most noteworthy series, "The Princess Diaries", "The Mediator series", and "All American Girl"- AND I learned quite a bit from this list (ie. Suzanne Collins HAS 2 BOOK SERIES? Is her other one as good as the "Hunger Games")?

I knew you'd totally kill this list! The problem with this whole list of course is that the contemporary authors get more lines, like John Green and Sarah Dessen, whereas there are actually more books by Alyson Noel, et al.
ReplyDeleteYou got really far in the James Patterson series. I have not read that. I had read a ton of his books for adults before I needed a break. I think I read like 10 or 15? But I haven't read his YA stuff. Do you recommend? Would love to know!
And how was The Host? I just can't bring myself to read it, and it was like my 3rd eBook ever purchased. I've been waiting for the sequels to see if I could read them when they're all released but she's on a long hiatus...
But I just knew you'd kill me on your reads list :)
I really need to go through this whole list and figure out how many I've read. 35 is a lot Avery, well done you! I feel like I haven't read nearly that many. Fail.
