For me the best YA books of the decade was The Hunger Games. Such a incredible,impactful and powerful series. I think it marked a generation and it will continue to be relevant in the future.
@@essicarahman4536 you'll maybe miss out on a little bit of context/history if you only read The Infernal Devices, but it's definitely possible and enjoyable to do so! Speaking from experience
I've heard I can just read Clockwork Princess without reading any other Cassandra Clare books, and I was wondering if anyone can answer that? I've heard great things about Clockwork Princess, but don't want to start a whole series or two.
I’m just about to come to the end of Winter and I don’t think I can bear it! The series had got me through pandemic times and I love the characters with all my heart. I’ll reread them all again soon I’m sure 🥰
I really enjoyed ACOMAF but for being a 600 page novel I expected a little more than minimal worldbiuldingand no real magic system. Overall, good series!
Some of my favorites are The Night Circus, City of Bones, Beautiful Creatures, The Fault in Our Stars, The Book Thief, The Raven Boys series,A Court of Thorns and Roses series, The Hunger Games, Divergent.
I like twilight but I was not a die hard fan but there was a series on wattpad it's about gay wherewolfs and I loved this series the first one you can get on amazon called all it took was one look by t.lannay
Shatter me, The Wrath and the Dawn, Empire of Storms, Eliza and her Monsters, ACOMAF, The Assassin’s Blade and Serpent & Dove are some of my favorites from this decade. Non YA I’d have to say the Shades of Magic Series, the Kiss Quotient series and The Martian top my list.
Wonder, all Becky Albertalli books, Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell, To All the Boys I've Loved series, Divergent (didnt like the second or third book though)...ummm a decade is a long time and I'm probably forgetting something.
i love Simon Vs. The Homosapiens Agenda, The Rest Of Us Just Live Here, Fangirl, Fierce Fragile Hearts, Carry On, anything by Cassandra Clare, and You Know Me Well
SO MUCH GOOD YA: - I Hunt Killers Trilogy (psychological thriller where’s the main character’s dad was a serial killer, i still get nightmares) - History is All You Left Me (shattered my heart) - Aristotle & Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe (also shattered me) - Strange the Dreamer (talk about beautiful prose) - The Hate U Give (objectively, an incredible and clear eyed look at one of the biggest social movements of the decade) - honorable mention: Kids of Appetite (the most angsty YA book I’ve read) This was a fun exercise and thanks for all the great videos this decade!!
Six of Crows is definitely my favorite YA book of the decade and to think I’m doing my masters on it... this video is making me emotional thank you Regan haha 💗💗
The Scythe series (which I found cause of this channel) easily tops the past decade for me. Also I loved Percy Jackson, so the Hero’s of Olympus series really played an important role in the early half of this decade for me
-I fell in love with reading again this year, thank you for being a part of that. Can't wait for this next decade of reading and book reviews from you.
i love this video!! for me, it would have to include percy jackson (literally any of them), the raven boys, city of heavenly fire, lady midnight, and so many more. there are so many books that have shaped me this decade and that i’ve adored 🥰
No matter what other people say, I LOVE SARAH J. MAAS' books (Kingdom of Ash basically just...saved my life)! And I'm so excited for her upcoming book this March! 😁
Some of these bring back such good memories! And some of them I have yet to actually read! Six of Crows is one I actually have never read but plan on picking up with year.
TID is still one of my all time favorite series ever! My top 3 favorite series of this decade and of all time are TID, Throne of Glass, and the Diviners.
I agree with everything you said about Clockwork Princess and TID! It’s just such a good book and hits you right in the feels!!!! Clockwork Princess was the first book I ever read that made me cry, I was so emotionally invested in The Infernal Devices the characters and the romances! I stayed up really late to finish reading Clockwork Princess and I CRIED so hard 😭😭😭 it was difficult to read on because I couldn’t stop crying and it made everything to blurry to read for awhile. I read it in 2014 I think because I found out about the books because of the movie that came out in 2013 and to this day I’ve never read a book that had me so emotional 😭 I think Clockwork Princess is my all time favorite book ➰
I wasn't a huge fan of the original Grisha trilogy, either, but the Six of Crows duology really is amazing! But besides that, I also loved the Hunger Games. And I loved A Court of Mist and Fury, too! I agree it's not the best technically written, but man, I got really into it, too, and that hadn't happened to me in a while! Unfortunately, I wasn't a fan of Spinning Silver. I was disappointed because I loved Uprooted.
It feels good to know that I have heard of absolutely all of these authors and the vast majority of these series (even if I didn’t recognize the title of each specific book)
2010 - The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan 2011 - Inheritance by Christopher Paolini 2012 - Days of Blood and Starlight by Laini Taylor 2013 - Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare 2014 - The Sorcerer Heir by Cinda Williams Chima 2015 - The Mime Order by Samantha Shannon 2016 - A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J Maas 2017 - Godsgrave by Jay Kristoff 2018 - The Poppy War by R.F. Kuang 2019 - The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon
Not my favorites necessarily but The Hunger Games, Twilight, Divergent, Clockwork Prince, The Fault in our Stars, Anna and the French kiss series, Fangirl, Beautiful Creatures, Maze Runner, Ready Player One, The Uglies, The Name of the Wind. I can't remember all of them, but the last decade rocked! There were publishes thousands of AMAZING YA books that made young people fall in love with reading. We're the happiest because we were born in the 90's!
What an outstanding decade for literature. The Young Adult genre was such an underrated, ignored genre before the popularization of YA classics like The Hunger Games, The Fault in Our Stars, and Twilight. These books all went on to produce huge films, only cementing the validity of YA as a genre to be taken seriously in the literature world. YA introduced me and so many others to literature. I can't wait to see the next decade for YA and where we go from here.
I agree with so many of your books on this list! Most of my faves from the early 2010 would have to be the releases of Heroes of Olympus, because the Percy Jackson series was what basically got me into my love of reading and fandom (along with The Infernal Devices). I will read anything Rick Riordan lays a hand on.
I’ve seen so many ”fave books of the year” but not of the decade! Good job, you really put effort into looking up what books came out which year etc! 😁👍
You were a baby in 2010. I had my second baby that year. I finished my MA in British Renaissance and Ethnic American Lit that year, and I was 28. I also made my list by decade, but I just did best book overall from any age range/genre.
Not sure if it came out in the last decade but Keeping it Real by Justina Robson is one of my favourite books ever. It made me fall in love with reading again when I was in a slump.
Clockwork Princess!!!! Uuugggghhhhh I can’t! It was so good! Like head and shoulders above all other Cassie books! I cried for at LEAST half an hour after I finished it!
There are so many Y.A. books that made this decade for me. Everything from the Shadowhunters, Rick Riordan, The Virals series, six of crows ... I could keep going on. Guess I am terrible at picking 😂
Love you're list, you're super aware that the "fandom" faves are still worth acknowledging. While some might see ACOMF or Cassandra Claire as lesser, they steal our hearts and make us happy and we should be allowed enjoy things for the sake of enjoying them!
Mine that had an impact on me would be TATBILB series and the Shatter Me series!❤️ And I think I’ll try and finish the Divergent Series based upon already knowing what happens. Start the new decade with a bang!🎉🎉
Clockwork Princess is definitely on my list! I remember I missed school the day after it came out because I made the mistake of reading it that morning and I was crying so hard my mom called me in sick 😂 I’m going to reread the trilogy next year before Chain of Gold and I’m equally excited and scared
The Scythe trilogy is definitely on the top of my list to read in 2020. I started the first one a couple months ago but got distracted with other books (oops lol). Plus, I really want to read The Queens Thief series next year; those are definitely on the top of my list. Love your videos! xx
After high school I started to read all the time before starting college. Some of my favorites are The Princesses of Westfalin Trilogy by Jessica Day George, Aurelia Trilogy by Anne Osterlund, could not put this series down! Wendy Darling Trilogy by Colleen Oakes, The Folk of the Air Trilogy by Holly Black ,Grace and Fury, by Tracy Banghart, Entwined by Heater Dixon and Ash Princess by Lauren Sebastian
Great video! I will say that I wasn't reading much YA in the early part of the decades. I was a true hipster. Reading Fitzgerald and Vonnegut, and watching Hitchcock movies. However, in 2016 I stumbled on your YT channel. The first one on Booktube. And you were talking about Throne Of Glass, and my immersion to YA was started there. I read more YA 2000-2009.
My favorite YA Book of the Decade would be The Hunger Games. These books (as well as the movies) were so impactful to my life in the moment I needed them the most. Also, I went to a very tiny, private school where everybody knew I was "The Hunger Games" girl. It was amazing.
How have I not read any of these!? 😭 But most are already on my TBR list, so I'm looking forward to them! Some of my favorites of the decade were Hunger Games, Throne of Glass, and A Simple Favor!
Clockwork Princess was my favorite from 2013 and destroyed my heart!! I had to put it down cause I couldn’t see what I was reading that’s how bad I cried!!! 💕👏🏻💕👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I’ve gotta say Carry On by Rainbow Rowell for best book of the decade! But also I feel like The Fault in Our Stars had such a huge impact on YA at the time and still does now
the moment you said ACOMAF I genuinly screamed YES.! YAYAYAYAYAYYY!!!! And girl, honey, SAME. yes. everything you said about the series, yes, yes, YES ME TOO.
Loved this video, it was so interesting! I’m definitely going to do a list of my favorite books of the decade 😊 Also I can’t believe Six of Crows came out in 2015, it feels like yesterday! I’m shook
Favorite YA books that we share is definitely Clockwork Princess and Six of Crows. Other favorite YA books is Don’t Date Rosa Santos, They Both Die At The End, The Devouring Gray, Three Dark Crowns, The Cruel Prince, Simon vs. The Homo-Sapiens Agenda, Zodiac, The List, Female of the Species, Stalking Jack the Ripper, Illuminae, The Art of French Kissing, Geek Magnet, Smart Girls Get What They Want, The Clique, With the Fire on High, The Darkest Minds, This Song Will Save Your Life, When the Moon Was Ours, Blanca and Roja, and Speak.
I loved Spinning Silver also! I think I may have to go with Percy Jackson. I am not sure whether my other favorite series, The Finishing School series by Gail Carriger is YA or adult.
Top books in the past decade.This is not in order: 1) Obsidian by Jennifer L Armentrout 2) Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare 3) Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo 4) Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys 5) A Voice in the Wind by Francine Rivers (also going to add Redeeming Love by her too cause it’s equally amazing) 6) A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J Maas Can’t remember the rest, will update when I do!!
Yasss to A Court of Mist and Fury! I loved that book too and honestly I just feel bad for those who didn't experience the magic I did, because it was awesome.
I agree with Clockwork Princess!! It is the ONLY book I’ve ever cried with. I just read it two years ago when I was 15 and I loved it sooo much. TID will always be my favorite trilogy. I’m currents reading TDA, which is great, but I don’t think anything she writes will ever be as good as TID... anyway done with the rant. I love Clockwork Princess
Oh my god, ACOMAF is my book of the decade because it makes me obsess with reading again! It's kinda what twilight was for me. Made me obsess with reading
I've barely read anything released this decade! I'm currently reading the outlander series, and it started in the 90s haha! I definitely want to check out Scythe, sounds horrifying but also really interesting!
I generally do not read YA... but loved Skyward. :) Not a surprise as I love Brandon Sanderson's works in general. I also do not consider Spinning Silver a YA book but loved it.
one of my fav vids of the decade😍😂 I loved this so much!!! also haha the way you talked abt acomaf is the same way I try to approach it, like I can see why so many people love to hate it...but I adored it and was so obsessed with it!!!
For me the best YA books of the decade was The Hunger Games. Such a incredible,impactful and powerful series. I think it marked a generation and it will continue to be relevant in the future.
Love the Hunger Games! I almost included Mocking Jay on my list from 2010 but it was my least fav of the series so it felt wrong
Agreed
Vitoria Assunção I agree with the hunger games. And also divergent.
Vitoria Assunção Never read it and hated the first few minutes of the movie haha 🙈
Can’t wait for the new book en 2020
Six of Crows is definitely a favorite YA book
I love that book!
What is the age rating? (Any swear words or romance scenes)?
O believe there is one romance scene but it’s nothing to explicit and can’t remember if there are any swear words... the age range maybe 13 and up!
Radhika Suresh I read it when I was twelve, there is little to no swearing or romance, violence is not too too graphic either.
I still remember vividly sitting in my room crying my eyes out during the last pages of Clockwork Princess. It was a great read!
@@essicarahman4536 you'll maybe miss out on a little bit of context/history if you only read The Infernal Devices, but it's definitely possible and enjoyable to do so! Speaking from experience
Omg I remember bawling my eyes out over that damn book and being in a reading slump for weeks because my fav characters In the world were in there
@@essicarahman4536 You totally can go foe it without reading TMI, you will only miss some references
is it necessary to read the motal instruments if i’m interested in the infernal devices?
I've heard I can just read Clockwork Princess without reading any other Cassandra Clare books, and I was wondering if anyone can answer that? I've heard great things about Clockwork Princess, but don't want to start a whole series or two.
Clockwork Princess and ACOMAF will always be some of the best books I’ve ever read
Madisyn Green same !
Madisyn Green did you read the clockwork princess as a standalone or in the series?
dbhdis i it’s the third book in a trilogy so I read it as part of a series
bruh...
Arc of Scythe series was just the greatest series of the decade by miles! Glad The Toll made your list.
agreed. I just finished the Toll and the whole thing was breathtaking. so so so so good.
Mine would definitely be the lunar chronicle, it really sparked my love of reading ( which left for a bit) and I started buying way more books
Sharlene W omg same
I’m just about to come to the end of Winter and I don’t think I can bear it! The series had got me through pandemic times and I love the characters with all my heart. I’ll reread them all again soon I’m sure 🥰
I really enjoyed ACOMAF but for being a 600 page novel I expected a little more than minimal worldbiuldingand no real magic system. Overall, good series!
Some of my favorites are The Night Circus, City of Bones, Beautiful Creatures, The Fault in Our Stars, The Book Thief, The Raven Boys series,A Court of Thorns and Roses series, The Hunger Games, Divergent.
The hunger games was anoying all kat did was complane
I like twilight but I was not a die hard fan but there was a series on wattpad it's about gay wherewolfs and I loved this series the first one you can get on amazon called all it took was one look by t.lannay
The Raven boys is a series?!
Jonathan Gough well like she was going into an arena to kill people, I wouldn’t be to pleased about that idea either
@@alonarossen9304 yes the series is called ''The Raven Cycle'' and there are four books in the series
Please comment your favorite YA books over the years!
Shatter me, The Wrath and the Dawn, Empire of Storms, Eliza and her Monsters, ACOMAF, The Assassin’s Blade and Serpent & Dove are some of my favorites from this decade. Non YA I’d have to say the Shades of Magic Series, the Kiss Quotient series and The Martian top my list.
I'd say Lord of the flies
The Graceling trilogy by Kristen cashore will forever be my favorite series of all time
Wonder, all Becky Albertalli books, Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell, To All the Boys I've Loved series, Divergent (didnt like the second or third book though)...ummm a decade is a long time and I'm probably forgetting something.
i love Simon Vs. The Homosapiens Agenda, The Rest Of Us Just Live Here, Fangirl, Fierce Fragile Hearts, Carry On, anything by Cassandra Clare, and You Know Me Well
SO MUCH GOOD YA:
- I Hunt Killers Trilogy (psychological thriller where’s the main character’s dad was a serial killer, i still get nightmares)
- History is All You Left Me (shattered my heart)
- Aristotle & Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe (also shattered me)
- Strange the Dreamer (talk about beautiful prose)
- The Hate U Give (objectively, an incredible and clear eyed look at one of the biggest social movements of the decade)
- honorable mention: Kids of Appetite (the most angsty YA book I’ve read)
This was a fun exercise and thanks for all the great videos this decade!!
Six of Crows is definitely my favorite YA book of the decade and to think I’m doing my masters on it... this video is making me emotional thank you Regan haha 💗💗
The Selection was my favourite series of the decade
Marlete Volz i was head over heels with the books but I hated the ending so much that I stopped reading for a good 3 years after... 😭
Savage Siren noooo seriously omg noo why did you hate it 💕💕🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺💕💕💕💕💜💜
The Scythe series (which I found cause of this channel) easily tops the past decade for me. Also I loved Percy Jackson, so the Hero’s of Olympus series really played an important role in the early half of this decade for me
I love Percy Jacksom, Hero of Olympus, to sum up every Rick Riordan Book
-I fell in love with reading again this year, thank you for being a part of that. Can't wait for this next decade of reading and book reviews from you.
Love is sweet the second time around . Thanks for sharing ! I rekindled my book love too . Regan's a big help in keeping the flame lit .
i love this video!! for me, it would have to include percy jackson (literally any of them), the raven boys, city of heavenly fire, lady midnight, and so many more. there are so many books that have shaped me this decade and that i’ve adored 🥰
Lady midnight was the best cassandra clare book I read the first 5 chapters of clockwork angel where good but I also was kida bord
No matter what other people say, I LOVE SARAH J. MAAS' books (Kingdom of Ash basically just...saved my life)! And I'm so excited for her upcoming book this March! 😁
I love Clockwork Princess and Will Herondale is still my ideal book boyfriend.
Yes ACOMAF is def one of my favs!
I’m so thrilled that many of these books I haven’t read, can’t wait to get my hands on them for my 2020 TBR!
My favorite YA book is probably the tatbilb series (especially bc the author went to the same college as me hahah) !!
So cool!
Tatbilb?
Kayla M To all the boys I’ve loved before
honestly six of crows/crooked kingdom, acotar series, throne of glass series and the infernal devices series were the absolute best for me
Loving the retro colors!
Thank you!
Also, my doggo loves your videos. You have a voice he can’t help but nap to 😂
Some of these bring back such good memories! And some of them I have yet to actually read! Six of Crows is one I actually have never read but plan on picking up with year.
TID is still one of my all time favorite series ever! My top 3 favorite series of this decade and of all time are TID, Throne of Glass, and the Diviners.
I agree with everything you said about Clockwork Princess and TID! It’s just such a good book and hits you right in the feels!!!!

It feels good to know that I have heard of absolutely all of these authors and the vast majority of these series (even if I didn’t recognize the title of each specific book)
ARC OF A SCYTHE 😍
Clockwork princess 😭❤️
My favorite YA series were definitely Across the Universe and the Lunar Chronicles! Those books defined the decade on the YA front for me.
clockwork princess is my favorite book of all time❤️
The Shadowhunter Chronicles have shaped my entire life. I started reading them in 6th grade and i’m a highschool senior still in love with them.
I think thats because there will be at least a fourth book. I felt the same way until i found out that there's another book
Martusia26 what do you mean?
The Seven Realms will always be one of my favorites. It’s so criminally underrated more people need to read it!!
I love love love this video! So awesome to hear about all your favorites across the years and where you were in your life at the time!
Mines definitely Everything,Everything,Hunger games and Five Feet Apart,they all made me cry so many times!

the ACOTAR series was my 2016 too :') it was the worst year of my life but i really think they helped me pull through x
Not sure if it came out in the last decade but Keeping it Real by Justina Robson is one of my favourite books ever. It made me fall in love with reading again when I was in a slump.
Clockwork Princess!!!! Uuugggghhhhh I can’t! It was so good! Like head and shoulders above all other Cassie books! I cried for at LEAST half an hour after I finished it!

GIRL. I loved this video SO MUCH. I haven't read ANY of these and I desperately need to. Thanks for posting this! LOVE LOVE LOVE.
Love you're list, you're super aware that the "fandom" faves are still worth acknowledging. While some might see ACOMF or Cassandra Claire as lesser, they steal our hearts and make us happy and we should be allowed enjoy things for the sake of enjoying them!
Thank you Regan for making me discover the Seven Realms series, I read it a few years ago and it's one of my favorites. Thank you!!!💖
Mine that had an impact on me would be TATBILB series and the Shatter Me series!❤️ And I think I’ll try and finish the Divergent Series based upon already knowing what happens. Start the new decade with a bang!🎉🎉
Happy new year from Belarus. Happiness, good luck and all the best to you and your TH-cam channel. And more subscribers in the New year!!!
Twilight and The Shadowhunters novels were my jam ten years ago. And The House of Night series as well.
TWILIGHT was big in 2010 . I'm surprized Regan did not mention it as noteworthy . Maybe she is classifying in the YA genre .
Love these picks! Saw some of my old favorites and got some new recommendations to add to my TBR!
I didn’t read Ava Lavender until this year and it is my favourite read of the year
Totally agree with a court of mist of fury. I loved the triology one of my fav ever. No back up needed.
I love The Hunger Games, Vampire Academy, and Divergent.
Vampire Academy is truly so good😂
True! She doesnt like it though
TaylorAngelina
I agree! I feel like a TON of people didn’t like Divergent but I actually loved it!
Summer Watermelon Me too
The love I feel for these three series has not faded in the least.
Clockwork Princess is definitely on my list! I remember I missed school the day after it came out because I made the mistake of reading it that morning and I was crying so hard my mom called me in sick 😂 I’m going to reread the trilogy next year before Chain of Gold and I’m equally excited and scared
Lovely video! Thank you for all that you do, Reagan! Your videos are the ones that I most look forward to! Happy new year!
The Scythe trilogy is definitely on the top of my list to read in 2020. I started the first one a couple months ago but got distracted with other books (oops lol). Plus, I really want to read The Queens Thief series next year; those are definitely on the top of my list. Love your videos! xx
I LOVE a torch against the night ❤️🥺 and six of crows is really good indeed
After high school I started to read all the time before starting college. Some of my favorites are The Princesses of Westfalin Trilogy by Jessica Day George, Aurelia Trilogy by Anne Osterlund, could not put this series down! Wendy Darling Trilogy by Colleen Oakes, The Folk of the Air Trilogy by Holly Black ,Grace and Fury, by Tracy Banghart, Entwined by Heater Dixon and Ash Princess by Lauren Sebastian
Great video!
I will say that I wasn't reading much YA in the early part of the decades. I was a true hipster. Reading Fitzgerald and Vonnegut, and watching Hitchcock movies.
However, in 2016 I stumbled on your YT channel. The first one on Booktube. And you were talking about Throne Of Glass, and my immersion to YA was started there.
I read more YA 2000-2009.
My favorite YA Book of the Decade would be The Hunger Games. These books (as well as the movies) were so impactful to my life in the moment I needed them the most. Also, I went to a very tiny, private school where everybody knew I was "The Hunger Games" girl. It was amazing.
I got to know the world of Shadowhunters in 2013 when the movie came out. Also read Percy Jackson for the first time in 2016
TID is still, by far, my favorite trilogy and storyline I’ve read. Nothing beats the feelings I had for the story and the characters.
How have I not read any of these!? 😭 But most are already on my TBR list, so I'm looking forward to them!
Some of my favorites of the decade were Hunger Games, Throne of Glass, and A Simple Favor!
Love how exited you are about all of these books! You always make med want to read books I hadn't Even concidered picking up 😊
This video brings me joy and all the feels:) we had a great decade of reading!
So glad you mentioned The Queen's Thief series! I still haven't recovered from The King of Attolia! 💖💖💖
Clockwork Princess was my favorite from 2013 and destroyed my heart!! I had to put it down cause I couldn’t see what I was reading that’s how bad I cried!!! 💕👏🏻💕👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
My fav is the Percy Jackson series. They changed my perspective on books.
I’ve gotta say Carry On by Rainbow Rowell for best book of the decade!
But also I feel like The Fault in Our Stars had such a huge impact on YA at the time and still does now
the moment you said ACOMAF I genuinly screamed YES.!
YAYAYAYAYAYYY!!!!
And girl, honey, SAME. yes.
everything you said about the series, yes, yes, YES ME TOO.
Reading thunderhead right now so excited to get to the toll!
My favourite series is the Trylle series(switched, torn, ascend) by Amanda Hocking.
Loved this video, it was so interesting! I’m definitely going to do a list of my favorite books of the decade 😊 Also I can’t believe Six of Crows came out in 2015, it feels like yesterday! I’m shook
I have to read the infernal devises I read the first 5 chapters of clockwork angel
The Arc of the Scythe series is also one of my favourite series of all time now since reading the first two this year! 😁 I need to read The Toll ASAP
YES the Lumatere Chronicles!!! such an underrated series
my forever favourite is always going to be the mortal instruments
Favorite YA books that we share is definitely Clockwork Princess and Six of Crows. Other favorite YA books is Don’t Date Rosa Santos, They Both Die At The End, The Devouring Gray, Three Dark Crowns, The Cruel Prince, Simon vs. The Homo-Sapiens Agenda, Zodiac, The List, Female of the Species, Stalking Jack the Ripper, Illuminae, The Art of French Kissing, Geek Magnet, Smart Girls Get What They Want, The Clique, With the Fire on High, The Darkest Minds, This Song Will Save Your Life, When the Moon Was Ours, Blanca and Roja, and Speak.
I loved Spinning Silver also! I think I may have to go with Percy Jackson. I am not sure whether my other favorite series, The Finishing School series by Gail Carriger is YA or adult.
Top books in the past decade.This is not in order:
1) Obsidian by Jennifer L Armentrout
2) Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare
3) Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo
4) Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys
5) A Voice in the Wind by Francine Rivers (also going to add Redeeming Love by her too cause it’s equally amazing)
6) A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J Maas
Can’t remember the rest, will update when I do!!
I find not enough people know about Paolo Bacigalupi’s books but the world building in his books are some of the best.
Yasss to A Court of Mist and Fury! I loved that book too and honestly I just feel bad for those who didn't experience the magic I did, because it was awesome.
The Heroes of Olympus series and the Lunar Chronicles are my favorites
The Raven Cycle and the Ember in the Ashes series ❤
Of the past decade, my favourite would probably have to be Six of Crows. Nothing beats a good heist novel!
Six of Crows / Crooked Kingdom!!
Spinning Silver was fantastically good!
I agree with Clockwork Princess!! It is the ONLY book I’ve ever cried with. I just read it two years ago when I was 15 and I loved it sooo much. TID will always be my favorite trilogy. I’m currents reading TDA, which is great, but I don’t think anything she writes will ever be as good as TID... anyway done with the rant. I love Clockwork Princess
Oh my god, ACOMAF is my book of the decade because it makes me obsess with reading again! It's kinda what twilight was for me. Made me obsess with reading
i have such a great time watching your videos 📖
I've barely read anything released this decade! I'm currently reading the outlander series, and it started in the 90s haha! I definitely want to check out Scythe, sounds horrifying but also really interesting!
I can’t believe Six of Crows came out in 2015 and I still haven’t read it!! Happy New Years!
I bought it so it's on my TBR list . So many books . . .
I generally do not read YA... but loved Skyward. :) Not a surprise as I love Brandon Sanderson's works in general. I also do not consider Spinning Silver a YA book but loved it.
First things first: that jumper ♥️
And now continue...
one of my fav vids of the decade😍😂 I loved this so much!!! also haha the way you talked abt acomaf is the same way I try to approach it, like I can see why so many people love to hate it...but I adored it and was so obsessed with it!!!
