Sadly, I am almost 21, so I cannot vote. I absolutely love YA lit & have read many of these books.
My favorites are:
Betrayed
City of Bones
Eclipse
Extras
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
Ironside: A Modern Faery’s Tale
The Sweet Far Thing
Wicked Lovely
But I think the best book is Unwind by Neil Shusterman.
It's an amazing view on what
the future may hold.
City of Bones by Cassandra Clare
is a very close second.
I too am a bit out of the age range to vote, but I adore YA books and have also read many books on this list.
My favs In this order.
Eclipse
City of Bones
Wicked Lovely
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
Ironside
Betrayed
My all time favorite, although not on this list is Twilight, for it is the book that got me interested in YA lit and it is just amazing.
Right now, The Hunger Games and The Graveyard Book have gotten me ensnared because they are such gems, once I picked them up I could not put them down.
My votes on this list go to:
City of Bones
Genesis Alpha
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
Ironside
The Sweet Far Thing
Twisted
Wicked Lovely
I plan to read Unwind next
