Reaper! Go!

I'm very, very underread in the YA scene. I'm fine with that, too. Neil Gaiman's work is fantastic & popular with many young adults. My favorite YA author as a grade schooler was Sharon Creech. I might read Walk Two Moons again soon just to see how it holds up.

I once owned every single Goosebumps book. Every single one.

Scholastic made a dickton of money off of me in grade school. I have always been, since age ****ing two, a voracious reader.

Yeah I bought every single one of those goosebumps from scholastic myself. I think my parents hated me because I would buy a ton of books and read two out of the bunch.

By the way, I'll happily take the Underworld (also Werewolf and Vampire) series of movies over these Twilight P.O.S's.

Bad boy and good guy all in one.

And from what I've seen of the previews the girls wardrobe is doubled.

You couldnt pay me to sit through this shitfest.

I'd rather take a branding iron to my ball bag than see 1 second or read one page of this reeruned series.

Like vampires? Time to come out of the closet.

Thirded.

I honestly had a stack of like 15+ Goosebumps on my desk from 2nd-5th grade at any given moment. And guess who got all the Pizza Hut Personal Pan pizzas for reading achievements?

This motherfucker right here. Read a book, get a pizza. What a deal.

Here's my top 5 list of contemporary YA. These are all geared to teen readers, so some are racy.

1) Perks of Being a Wallflower by Steven Chbosky
2) King Dork by Frank Portman
3) The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
4) The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman
5) Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist by David Levithan and Rachel Cohn
6) Honorable mention because I like dystopic lit: Little Brother by Cory Doctorow, Uglies by Scott Westerfeld, Unwind by Neal Shusterman, Rash by Pete Hautman

Now, those are YA books that I really liked and consider to be "good." If you want to talk about YA books that are popular and that I can get my kids to read and love:

1) 13 Reasons Why by Jay Asher
2) Unwind by Neal Shusterman
3) The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold (not really YA, but kids love it)
4) Rash by Pete Hautman
5) Any drug, abuse, anorexia, cutting type book. Better if it's a memoir: see Cut, Wasted, Crank, Stick Figure, Child Called It, Go Ask Alice, etc..

If you look up any of the above popular titles, you'll see that they all have a weird, compelling "hook" that makes the book instantly compelling when you tell someone about it.

When I was young I think basically every kid read the Outsiders.
I don't think To Kill a Mockingbird is normally in the YA section, but don't most kids read it around ninth grade? That would be one of mine.
