Top 100 YA Novels
A while ago Patti and I came up with our Top 10 YA Novels. Here is the first half of the grand list complied by Adele at the always interesting Persnickety Snark.
Is it wrong to feel a little vomitous at the fact that two of my top three showed up so low in the rankings? I shudder to think what will be up at the top...Mmmmm these sour grapes taste good :)
I think that's how I would describe seeing both Breaking Dawn and In the Forest of Hands and Teeth on the list. Breaking Dawn? Seriously? ItFoHaT is a kind of fun read if Mary doesn't make you want to throw yourself to the zombies, but not the best YA of all time. It seems there are a lot of books from the last couple years.
