A Goodreads user asked Shannon Messenger:

I've seen your books lists and you have a lot of books I've read. What are your top 5 favorite teen and young adult books?

Shannon Messenger Eek, I hate picking favorites because I love so many things for so many different reasons. So instead of picking favorite books, I'm going to call out a few authors I love.

For YA, I love Kasie West, Ally Carter, Stephanie Perkins, Marie Lu, and Kiersten white (though that is in NO WAY an exhaustive list).

And for middle grade I love Michael Buckley, Lisa McMann, Brandon Mull, Rick Riordan, and JK Rowling.
