First of all, I just want to say that Persnickety Snark is a genius for composing a list of all the top YA books.
But it really put it into perspective. I've read... waay less than half. But then when I think about what I most enjoy reading it is 100% young adult. So I definitely need to work on reading these other great books...

I've read 50 of the books! That sounds like a lot but then it's only half.
I've only read 44 of these titles. There are a few on this list that I have on my TBR, but most of them I can honestly say that I have no interest in reading. But, I agree that this was a genius idea!
thanks for stopping by and following my blog!! I've read a few of these :)
I've read 49 of them, and there are a few that I own and will definitely read eventually.
Thanks for sharing :)
