YA Books That Changed Our Lives- NBC version
A previous post, made me think to do this. So many of the books on the CNN list (I think that's where it was from) are so old, and in my opinion not really YA. So, let's make our own list!
And, go!
And, go!

Re: YA Books That Changed Our Lives- NBC version
This book made me fall in love with YA. If I didn't read this book, I would have never really tried to pursue the crazy idea of writing a novel. I would have never known how to write a YA book. I would have never gotten an agent or gotten a book deal or gone back to school to get my MFA. Falling in love with this book literally did change the course of my life.
When I was a YA:
TKAM
Fahrenheit 451
Are you there God? It's Me, Margaret.
A Seperate Peace
Little Women
As an adult:
HP, of course
The Book Thief
TFIOS
and...
I hate to admit it, but, Twilight. I have always loved reading, but that book is what really lead me to try more YA books, including HP. It opened up a whole new world of awesome books for me.
I have to say Twilight because that was really my first jump into YA. I had read HP but, otherwise, I read only adult books and didn't read that often. After Twilight, I dove right in and became much more passionate about reading in general. For that, I am forever grateful.
Others include Hunger Games. Pretty much all the Sarah Dessen books.(I have given them all 4-5 stars). Anna and the French Kiss/Lola and the Boy Next Door, Infernal Devices, TFiOS, Divergent, Just One Day
Also, I get confused with HP. They are in the kids section at our library so I am not sure what to consider them but they are definitely the best series of all time. the end!

2014 Reading Goal: 85
I've always been a reader, but I let myself get stale with reading through/right after college. When I read the HP series it totally reminded me what it felt like to fall in complete and utter love with books/characters and re-ignited my love of fiction.
