My reaction on NPR's 100 BEST-EVER YA Novels



I stumbled upon something really interesting today  I’ve been in love with Teens/YA novels like my whole life. So seeing NPR’s 100 Best-Ever Teen Novels, I repeat BEST-EVER, undoubtedly awakened my inner geekyness! It came from the reader's votes so  I just have to give vent to this strong reaction! So here it goes…


 Hold you applause... HARRY POTTER is No. 1!! No doubt about that. I would've been devastated if it wasn't. Hunger Games comes second...  Double Perfect!!


Oh Yeah gif Pictures, Images and Photos



My reaction after seeing the The fault in our stars at # 4..  Are you freakin' kidding me??

Then I saw the Overrated Twilight wasn't in the top ten.. Finally! I can do the HAPPY DANCE!!

 I am very thrilled to see some books I truly enjoyed reading  such as... Anna and the French Kiss, Hush Hush, Delirium, Uglies, The vampire Academy, The Giver, and Shiver...



But there were some books that I think should be given a higher ranking... Like Unwind, Graceling, The Mortal Instruments, and Infernal Devices...

Call me disappointed...




Anyway, I think to sum up my feelings about the list... This pretty much does it..

Yeah.. I know I know...  I'm weird...



I have nothing to say about the other books... Either they deserve it or they're not really memorable so I don't care about them.
