It's that time again! Happy I read YA week! The blog I wrote for I read YA week last year is fitting this year as the theme is #YAStandsFor, and my blog was all about Why #IReadYA. The year before that, I listed ten YA books that people should be reading.

Now I'm going one step further. I'm going to list my top twenty-five YA stand-alone books and series. Every book/series on this list should be added to your TBR list immediately! They are phenomenal!

(In case you were wondering, they're alphabetical by author.)


The Reapers are the Angels - Alden BellAnna Dressed in Blood duology - Kendare Blake The Perks of Being a Wallflower - Stephen Chbosky The Hunger Games trilogy - Suzanne Collins Before I Die - Jenny Downham Just One Day - Gayle Forman Gone series - Michael Grant Paper Towns - John Green The Fault in Our Stars - John Green Unearthly trilogy - Cynthia Hand Lorien Legacies series - Pittacus Lore Warm Bodies series (including the prequel) - Isaac Marion Chaos Walking trilogy - Patrick Ness Before I Fall - Lauren Oliver Divergent trilogy - Veronica Roth Harry Potter series - J.K. Rowling Daughter of Deep Silence - Carrie Ryan The Forest of Hands and Teeth trilogy - Carrie Ryan The Wolves of Mercy Falls series - Maggie Stiefvater I am Not a Serial Killer series - Dan Wells Rephaim series - Paula WestonThe Art of Being Normal - Lisa Williamson 5th Wave trilogy - Rick Yancey Dustlands trilogy - Moira Young The Book Thief - Markus Zusak
Now I'm not saying these are the top twenty-five ever; they're just my current top twenty-five. I know for a fact there are a few books on my TBR list that'll make it onto this list. That's one of the great things about YA. When you think it can't get any better, a book comes along that blows you apart, breaking you and fixing you all at once.

And that's why I read YA.



If there's a book that made you feel this way that I don't have on my list, please let me know! I live for that kind of YA!
