i like the Harry Potter and I am number four books I'll never be tired of them :)
Read anything you like, and put it down if you get tired of it. Doris Lessing gave that advice in a talk at Durham University, UK. She ought to know - she wrote The Golden Notebook and 4-Gated City in her Martha Quest series.

Im not the biggest fan when it comes to twilight all of the first 3 books are the same
i love books...i m great fan of Harry Potter, Twilight, Percy Jackson 'nd Maggie Stiefvater's books such as Shiver.....i like L.A. Weatherly's "Angel" also....
Seriously, Charlotte's Web? Are toddlers even considered as YAs now?
Why is Twilight #1????? I don't like Twilight or Harry Potter. But Hunger Games ROCK!!!!!!!
if you like twilight then u have to read blue bloods i loved it

Christina wrote: "I can't believe Twilight has more votes than Harry Potter. That is just wrong."i totally agreee with you .... harry potter just pushes its limits beyond excellence..... one can read the books over and over again such that even the hardcover books are tattered ..... twilight is good for mere light reading!!
No way! the best book is Hunger Games
Hunger Games, Twilight, The mortal instruments, The infernal Devices === can't believe that Clockwork angel is not on the top 20 books
Great ,great list ,i also like it , tks !

if theyre so bad why did you read them?
Christina wrote: "I can't believe Twilight has more votes than Harry Potter. That is just wrong."i know right
Haha this is completely off the whole Twilight/Harry Potter books 'war' going on but I'm thinking Lightning Thief ;) I find this book to be a more fit pick for young readers than, say, Harry Potter because even though it's fictitious, it has mythology that a young adult learns in school; when I was reading the book for the first time, I was also reading Odysseus, a Greek mythology epic poem, in my English class. My teacher informed us that it was a required part of the curriculum. Young adults have a contemporary fiction story of a boy with familiar problems of ADHD and Dyslexia, but is also the son of a Greek God; they get a mythology lesson without realizing it, really. I've read all three, HP, Twilight, & Percy Jackson, and I'm an HP fan to the end, but for young readers, I think Lightning thief would be a more appropriate book.
FORCE - Shawna LogueFor something that's new, in a similar genre to the series: Twilight, LOTR, Hunger Games and Divergent, and is well written, try Shawna Logue's 'Force'. She's published 3 books in the series, so far, and I understand she's just finished the 4th and is getting ready to publish it online. Get them at 99 cents each on Amazon before the price goes up!
Wheres hunger games?????It sure is awesome....

How would you feel if someone like your husband (if you even have one) walked out of your life without telling you ANYTHING!!!! You should try it sometime (if it hasn't happened already)!!!!!!!! I would feel sorry if I was a guy and married to you. I love Harry Potter but the Twilight saga is an infinity times better.

I thought this was a YA list? Why is there Dr. Seuss on here?
Yeah, sure I've read the twilight books, and they were okay, but come on people, it's getting old. I never get sick of my favorite books. That's why twilight isn't a favorite.
i read both of books , i think harry potter is waaaayyy better but in twilight it doesn't contain a main subject and it was a little bit boring and stupid :)

Okay, in reference to the huge Harry Potter/Twilight debate above, you all need to get over it. I have read them both multiple times and they are both amazing YA books. Probably some of my favorites. I don't understand why there needs to be a huge fight over which one is better. Grow up people.
love twilight. has anyone read shadow falls novels by cc hunter
Shwetika wrote: "well..... I am a supporter of twilight.. a huge fan of it actualy."same as much as i hated the movies cuz lets edmit they kinda sucked- im a huge fan of the books no stories perfect nor are the choices characters make thats what makes them human
the books are way better but at some parts they can get kinda boring
“Both Rowling and Meyer, they’re speaking directly to young people. … The real difference is that Jo Rowling is a terrific writer and Stephenie Meyer can’t write worth a darn. She’s not very good.” - Stephen King
The first and last one are soooooo creepy, the second one is just really good and has a lot of girl power!
