Looks like I know where to start for my to-read ideas. :)<br />As much of a fan as I am of Harry Potter, part of me wonders if it was ratest the highest because the series just ended and fans still want it to be on top...or is it really the best YA novel to date?Katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00287429151542133314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119162506009432262.post-44051405133181212682012-08-10T18:29:03.839-07:002012-08-10T18:29:03.839-07:00I love the Tiffany Aching series!

The Discworld series as a whole is mostly adult, but there are MG and YA books in the Discworld series. The Tiffany Aching (sub?)series is definitely MG/YA (depending on which book in the series you're talking about). YOU SHOULD READ THEM!!!lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16524291742541007382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119162506009432262.post-6770945672487234762012-08-10T18:11:48.801-07:002012-08-10T18:11:48.801-07:00Hey, I voted on that poll. :P I hadn't seen th...Hey, I voted on that poll. :P I hadn't seen the final list, though, so thanks for posting it.<br /><br />I agree with your assessment of YA.Golden Eaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08721520451194318436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119162506009432262.post-356816218930885202012-08-10T16:54:58.803-07:002012-08-10T16:54:58.803-07:00I've read quite a few of these books.

And some were totally NOT YA. <br /><br />There were several books on the list I've never read.

There were enough MG books on there ...Agree, agree. There were enough MG books on there to irk me that they didn't also include Percy Jackson. On the other hand, though, the list was voted on so it obviously reflects people who a) vote on the Internet and b) consider them YA readers. Although I love PJO, the age-group for that does skew younger and seems to have a smaller Internet presence.<br /><br />On the other hand, John Green went out and told his readers to go vote, so you can see that all four of his books made the top 100. Not that I disagree; I think he's one of the best authors in YA today for contemporary, but this list is reflective of some of these biases.<br /><br />You've definitely read a good portion of them, though!XiXihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05364953168828471897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119162506009432262.post-19194784688517326852012-08-10T07:15:44.431-07:002012-08-10T07:15:44.431-07:00can i just say, ditto.
