The YWS Recent Books List Nominations

Time Quartet - Madeline L'Engle

The Abhorsen Trilogy by Garth Nix
Postcards From the Edge by Carrie Fisher
The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky
Shogun by James Clavell
The Book of Illusions by Paul Auster

Clau, this is a Young Writers Society, what do you expect? Don't be too concerned about every book being on there, let's just let everyone nominate and have *our* own Top 100 of *our* members.

The Bad Mothers Handbook, Kate Long

I second [i]The Perks of Being a Wallflower[/b]. I'd consider that 'classic', but it falls into the category of Good Things That Very Few People Read.

Bloody Jack- L.A. Meyer
Night- Elie Wiesel
Looking For Alaska- John Green
Breath- Donna Jo Napoli

I'll most certainly think of more, but those are the uber-favorites that come to mind at the moment.

A Wrinkle in Time - Madeleine L'Engle

Of course, that was a series, right? At least, I recall that books such as A Swiftly Tilting Planet and A Wind in the Door were about the same people...gosh, I really need to reread these.

Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman
Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell by Susanna Clark
well. This doesn't ACTUALLY have a series name, but my boxed set calls it 'Tales of Magic' by Edward Eager [containing Half Magic, Knight's Castle, The Time Garden, and Magic by the Lake.]
Redwall by Brian Jacques

Dittoing Harry Potter, His Dark Materials, and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Dittoing the Edward Eager, as posted above me.

Heehee... have to suggest this:

The Education of Robert Nifkin - Daniel Pinkwater

Mr. Fred - Jill Pinkwater

The Snarkout Boys and the Avocado of Death - Daniel Pinkwater

My nominations:

Twilight - Stephanie Meyers

The Witcher series - Andzrej Sapkowski

Green Rider - Kristen Britain


Also, echoing what has already been said: His Dark Materials and the H. Potter series.

Other than that I think that Farseer Trilogy By Robin Hobb deserves to be on the list.
