Well... I hate to say it but I've only read about 3 out of 100! It's probably because a lot of the books I read are either high level reading books or adult level books. I have either heard or own several of the books though.

51! Er, I think. A few I honestly couldn't remember, so I counted about half of those, and I also counted a series if I've read any of them, though most I've read all of. I'm pretty sure some of the Tamora Piece stuff was counted more than once. I have maybe 10 of these on my shelf or on my kindle to be read as well (or on my list to check out from the library).

ALSO. Why is an entire series counted as a single book? Fail! That makes it more like 80 or 90 books I've read on this list, and it makes the list more like 150. //rant

33/100 Hmm.

21! I'm proud of myself, but I really need to get reading some more.
So many books! So little time! And so many more books that I need to write!

30 exactly. Some of my favorite books are on that list. And many I have on my list to read and many I'm adding!

I've read 40!

Ones that I recommend if you haven't read them, The Goose Girl by Shannon Hale for definite- it is one of my favourite books and Hale has been a constant and massive influence on my writing style. It is a fantastic book.

Also, The Book Thief, and the Bartimaeus Trilogy.

I think it's a bit unfair that John Green gets several mentions on the list but some authors only get one because their books are in a series. Silly!

But so glad The Goose Girl made an appearance!

18/100 I'm not much for YA. I read several of these in like second grade though (Treasure Island, Anne of Green Gables…)

Betsy, Tacy and Tib iS THE BEST AHHHH MY CHILDHOOD

The Goose Girl is a favorite of mine, @StellaThomas! I loved Hale's somewhat sequels that followed, as well.

Also, in sixth grade I wiped through the entire shelf of Laurie Halse Anderson books in my middle school library. I messaged her on Tumblr recently to tell her so, and she responded asdfghjkl.

@indieeloise - yes! Enna Burning was great. Book of a Thousand Days also influenced me quite a lot- Tower Girls has a similar premise (but a different ending).

I feel like I should read Laurie Halse Anderson sometime too...

I've read only six on this list, though there are quite a few that I intend to read. I really love the Tiffany Aching books, and have just finished reading the first of the main Discworld series, they are brilliant. I wasn't that gone on The Hobbit I have to say, I found the storyline a bit flat and the characters hard to really identify with or get attached to, very imaginative though.

I've read 28. I'm honestly not sure how I managed to read that many, given that I've barely been reading YA lately.

9/100. Yikes :/ looks like I need to get some reading done.

5/100... And the library is closed until January 1... D:

Ugh, why is Twilight on there??

This has has to be based on book sales. Those rankings are jacked up. O___o
