BEST YA BOOKS OF THE DECADE!!

[@vitoriaassuncao7716]

For me the best YA books of the decade was The Hunger Games. Such a incredible,impactful and powerful series. I think it marked a generation and it will continue to be relevant in the future.

[@PeruseProject]

Love the Hunger Games! I almost included Mocking Jay on my list from 2010 but it was my least fav of the series so it felt wrong

[@sausana2501]

Agreed

[@Neil-writer-author]

Vitoria Assunção I agree with the hunger games. And also divergent.

[@jessisfabulousworld2108]

Vitoria Assunção Never read it and hated the first few minutes of the movie haha 🙈

[@gdlb2520]

Can’t wait for the new book en 2020

[@alexandrasstudio5308]

Six of Crows is definitely a favorite YA book

[@AriannaMae]

I love that book!

[@radhikasuresh6365]

What is the age rating? (Any swear words or romance scenes)?

[@alexandrasstudio5308]

O believe there is one romance scene but it’s nothing to explicit and can’t remember if there are any swear words... the age range maybe 13 and up!

[@romae.22]

Radhika Suresh I read it when I was twelve, there is little to no swearing or romance, violence is not too too graphic either.

[@musingsandbooks]

I still remember vividly sitting in my room crying my eyes out during the last pages of Clockwork Princess. It was a great read!

[@alisonmccarty7856]

@@essicarahman4536 you'll maybe miss out on a little bit of context/history if you only read The Infernal Devices, but it's definitely possible and enjoyable to do so! Speaking from experience

[@officialhijabireader]

Omg I remember bawling my eyes out over that damn book and being in a reading slump for weeks because my fav characters In the world were in there

[@Kirgaby]

@@essicarahman4536 You totally can go foe it without reading TMI, you will only miss some references

[@ajreads7350]

is it necessary to read the motal instruments if i’m interested in the infernal devices?

[@emmypanix]

I've heard I can just read Clockwork Princess without reading any other Cassandra Clare books, and I was wondering if anyone can answer that? I've heard great things about Clockwork Princess, but don't want to start a whole series or two.

[@madisyngreen4403]

Clockwork Princess and ACOMAF will always be some of the best books I’ve ever read

[@gdlb2520]

Madisyn Green same !

[@amyv9312]

Madisyn Green did you read the clockwork princess as a standalone or in the series?

[@madisyngreen4403]

dbhdis i it’s the third book in a trilogy so I read it as part of a series

[@EcopiuM]

bruh...

[@fa3ryg1rl1]

Some of my favorites are The Night Circus, City of Bones, Beautiful Creatures, The Fault in Our Stars, The Book Thief, The Raven Boys series,A Court of Thorns and Roses series, The Hunger Games, Divergent.

[@jonathangough1994]

The hunger games was anoying all kat did was complane

[@jonathangough1994]

I like twilight but I was not a die hard fan but there was a series on wattpad it's about gay wherewolfs and I loved this series the first one you can get on amazon called all it took was one look by t.lannay

[@alonarossen9304]

The Raven boys is a series?!

[@sombrerodog]

Jonathan Gough well like she was going into an arena to kill people, I wouldn’t be to pleased about that idea either

[@therese1246]

@@alonarossen9304 yes the series is called ''The Raven Cycle'' and there are four books in the series

[@sharlenew1877]

Mine would definitely be the lunar chronicle, it really sparked my love of reading ( which left for a bit) and I started buying way more books

[@AngelaGarcia-et3ut]

Sharlene W omg same

[@izzieh7335]

I’m just about to come to the end of Winter and I don’t think I can bear it! The series had got me through pandemic times and I love the characters with all my heart. I’ll reread them all again soon I’m sure 🥰

[@petarjaksic7179]

I really enjoyed ACOMAF but for being a 600 page novel I expected a little more than minimal worldbiuldingand no real magic system. Overall, good series!

[@_sarathedreamer]

Six of Crows is definitely my favorite YA book of the decade and to think I’m doing my masters on it... this video is making me emotional thank you Regan haha 💗💗

[@JamesSmith-hr9cn]

Arc of Scythe series was just the greatest series of the decade by miles! Glad The Toll made your list.

[@YasmeenKhan]

agreed. I just finished the Toll and the whole thing was breathtaking. so so so so good.

[@FiddleBoy95]

The Scythe series (which I found cause of this channel) easily tops the past decade for me. Also I loved Percy Jackson, so the Hero’s of Olympus series really played an important role in the early half of this decade for me

[@evaspindler8714]

I love Percy Jacksom, Hero of Olympus, to sum up every Rick Riordan Book

[@1DawnMarie1]

I love Clockwork Princess and Will Herondale is still my ideal book boyfriend.

[@thecuriousVA]

No matter what other people say, I LOVE SARAH J. MAAS' books (Kingdom of Ash basically just...saved my life)! And I'm so excited for her upcoming book this March! 😁

[@marshall8525]

SO MUCH GOOD YA: - I Hunt Killers Trilogy (psychological thriller where’s the main character’s dad was a serial killer, i still get nightmares) - History is All You Left Me (shattered my heart) - Aristotle & Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe (also shattered me) - Strange the Dreamer (talk about beautiful prose) - The Hate U Give (objectively, an incredible and clear eyed look at one of the biggest social movements of the decade) - honorable mention: Kids of Appetite (the most angsty YA book I’ve read) This was a fun exercise and thanks for all the great videos this decade!!

[@freeinfiction]

i love this video!! for me, it would have to include percy jackson (literally any of them), the raven boys, city of heavenly fire, lady midnight, and so many more. there are so many books that have shaped me this decade and that i’ve adored 🥰

[@jonathangough1994]

Lady midnight was the best cassandra clare book I read the first 5 chapters of clockwork angel where good but I also was kida bord

[@elenaj6134]

The love I feel for these three series has not faded in the least.

[@marletevolz]

The Selection was my favourite series of the decade

[@Catilinadoesthings]

Marlete Volz i was head over heels with the books but I hated the ending so much that I stopped reading for a good 3 years after... 😭

[@marletevolz]

Savage Siren noooo seriously omg noo why did you hate it 💕💕🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺💕💕💕💕💜💜

[@hannahjosmithheart]

Yes ACOMAF is def one of my favs!

[@DilFandoms]

For me it would have to be the Hunger games - That trilogy just blew me away! :D The characters were all so well thought out, and it was just so intense. I couldn’t put any of the books down..! Powerful trilogy!

[@greenknightjo455]

ARC OF A SCYTHE 😍

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

Clockwork princess 😭❤️

[@PeruseProject]

Please comment your favorite YA books over the years!

[@cucug8324]

Shatter me, The Wrath and the Dawn, Empire of Storms, Eliza and her Monsters, ACOMAF, The Assassin’s Blade and Serpent & Dove are some of my favorites from this decade. Non YA I’d have to say the Shades of Magic Series, the Kiss Quotient series and The Martian top my list.

[@hari4374]

I'd say Lord of the flies

[@gracelingaccountant]

The Graceling trilogy by Kristen cashore will forever be my favorite series of all time

[@brie93]

Wonder, all Becky Albertalli books, Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell, To All the Boys I've Loved series, Divergent (didnt like the second or third book though)...ummm a decade is a long time and I'm probably forgetting something.

[@catew-w3816]

i love Simon Vs. The Homosapiens Agenda, The Rest Of Us Just Live Here, Fangirl, Fierce Fragile Hearts, Carry On, anything by Cassandra Clare, and You Know Me Well

[@maryamh8551]

clockwork princess is my favorite book of all time❤️

[@user-xm4xq1uy5w]

honestly six of crows/crooked kingdom, acotar series, throne of glass series and the infernal devices series were the absolute best for me

[@RimpyToor]

Loving the retro colors!

Also, my doggo loves your videos. You have a voice he can’t help but nap to 😂

Tatbilb?

[@maddied4953]

Kayla M To all the boys I’ve loved before

[@VanessaMarieBooks]

TID is still one of my all time favorite series ever! My top 3 favorite series of this decade and of all time are TID, Throne of Glass, and the Diviners.

[@JemimaRose]

the ACOTAR series was my 2016 too :') it was the worst year of my life but i really think they helped me pull through x

[@Vanss95]

Thank you Regan for making me discover the Seven Realms series, I read it a few years ago and it's one of my favorites. Thank you!!!💖

[@purplepandasrock43]

The Shadowhunter Chronicles have shaped my entire life. I started reading them in 6th grade and i’m a highschool senior still in love with them.

[@Martusia26]

I think thats because there will be at least a fourth book. I felt the same way until i found out that there's another book

[@purplepandasrock43]

Martusia26 what do you mean?

[@bridaaaa]

omg you picked Froi of the Exiles, i love it so much, it's so underrated

[@belleah5562]

It feels good to know that I have heard of absolutely all of these authors and the vast majority of these series (even if I didn’t recognize the title of each specific book)

[@abbiemasxo5167]

Mines definitely Everything,Everything,Hunger games and Five Feet Apart,they all made me cry so many times!

[@gittiebruyninckx6222]

There are so many Y.A. books that made this decade for me. Everything from the Shadowhunters, Rick Riordan, The Virals series, six of crows ... I could keep going on. Guess I am terrible at picking 😂

[@AnieNiusika]

Not my favorites necessarily but The Hunger Games, Twilight, Divergent, Clockwork Prince, The Fault in our Stars, Anna and the French kiss series, Fangirl, Beautiful Creatures, Maze Runner, Ready Player One, The Uglies, The Name of the Wind. I can't remember all of them, but the last decade rocked! There were publishes thousands of AMAZING YA books that made young people fall in love with reading. We're the happiest because we were born in the 90's!

[@shizanemati7840]

Harry Potter ❤️ Six of crows series Throne of glass series Infernal devices Mortal instruments Selection series Hunger games A court of thorn and roses 🌹 series Dark artifices Lunar chronicles series Twilight (some of you might not agree with it but I personally loved these both ) 💫💫💫💫💫💫💫

[@reagansimmons9926]

The Seven Realms will always be one of my favorites. It’s so criminally underrated more people need to read it!!

[@autumnpeterson8847]

I agree with everything you said about Clockwork Princess and TID! It’s just such a good book and hits you right in the feels!!!! Clockwork Princess was the first book I ever read that made me cry, I was so emotionally invested in The Infernal Devices the characters and the romances! I stayed up really late to finish reading Clockwork Princess and I CRIED so hard 😭😭😭 it was difficult to read on because I couldn’t stop crying and it made everything to blurry to read for awhile. I read it in 2014 I think because I found out about the books because of the movie that came out in 2013 and to this day I’ve never read a book that had me so emotional 😭 I think Clockwork Princess is my all time favorite book ➰

[@ilsenleon2378]

Favorite YA books that we share is definitely Clockwork Princess and Six of Crows. Other favorite YA books is Don’t Date Rosa Santos, They Both Die At The End, The Devouring Gray, Three Dark Crowns, The Cruel Prince, Simon vs. The Homo-Sapiens Agenda, Zodiac, The List, Female of the Species, Stalking Jack the Ripper, Illuminae, The Art of French Kissing, Geek Magnet, Smart Girls Get What They Want, The Clique, With the Fire on High, The Darkest Minds, This Song Will Save Your Life, When the Moon Was Ours, Blanca and Roja, and Speak.

[@TheDailyDanny]

clockwork princess YESS.. i remembered sobbing after reading it.. i love that trilogy so much i literally grew up reading them..

[@jackiesliterarycorner]

Twilight and The Shadowhunters novels were my jam ten years ago. And The House of Night series as well.

[@v.dargain1678]

TWILIGHT was big in 2010 . I'm surprized Regan did not mention it as noteworthy . Maybe she is classifying in the YA genre .

[@rocknregalia]

You were a baby in 2010. I had my second baby that year. I finished my MA in British Renaissance and Ethnic American Lit that year, and I was 28. I also made my list by decade, but I just did best book overall from any age range/genre.

[@non-pe8xn]

Six of Crows / Crooked Kingdom!!

[@malloryrosier9305]

My favorite YA of the decade has to be Throne of Glass for sure, the entire series is just so special to me! It is the Harry Potter of my late teens/early adulthood, just a world I can come back to and be home with characters that will always be so dear to me

[@ki._.]

My fav is the Percy Jackson series. They changed my perspective on books.

[@Lexiscee]

I wasn't a huge fan of the original Grisha trilogy, either, but the Six of Crows duology really is amazing! But besides that, I also loved the Hunger Games. And I loved A Court of Mist and Fury, too! I agree it's not the best technically written, but man, I got really into it, too, and that hadn't happened to me in a while! Unfortunately, I wasn't a fan of Spinning Silver. I was disappointed because I loved Uprooted.

[@TheBookishMom]

Some of these bring back such good memories! And some of them I have yet to actually read! Six of Crows is one I actually have never read but plan on picking up with year.

[@karinag7472]

Clockwork Princess was my favorite from 2013 and destroyed my heart!! I had to put it down cause I couldn’t see what I was reading that’s how bad I cried!!! 💕👏🏻💕👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@oonam3519]

I was wondering if you were going to mention the Hunger games at all and then I realised it didn’t even come out this decade... Lol, where has the time gone?

[@zhuoyang3341]

Clockwork Princess!!!! Uuugggghhhhh I can’t! It was so good! Like head and shoulders above all other Cassie books! I cried for at LEAST half an hour after I finished it!

[@MissGrace4]

Not sure if it came out in the last decade but Keeping it Real by Justina Robson is one of my favourite books ever. It made me fall in love with reading again when I was in a slump.

[@lina5699]

For me it was the hunger games the raven cycle six of crows

[@cheergirl527]

I just finished spinning silver and it was amazing!! Uprooted, also my Naomi novik is thrilling 😍

[@giuliacosta1017]

I LOVE a torch against the night ❤️🥺 and six of crows is really good indeed

[@Yays99]

I’ve seen so many ”fave books of the year” but not of the decade! Good job, you really put effort into looking up what books came out which year etc! 😁👍

[@chiara4249]

Clockwork Princess is definitely on my list! I remember I missed school the day after it came out because I made the mistake of reading it that morning and I was crying so hard my mom called me in sick 😂 I’m going to reread the trilogy next year before Chain of Gold and I’m equally excited and scared

[@CritiquingCricket]

My favorite YA series were definitely Across the Universe and the Lunar Chronicles! Those books defined the decade on the YA front for me.

[@katestewart6274]

I didn’t read Ava Lavender until this year and it is my favourite read of the year

The Six of Crows Duology is Superior ✨

[@AmberReadsandSips]

I love love love this video! So awesome to hear about all your favorites across the years and where you were in your life at the time!

[@WACKYchixsAl3xnAmb3r]

What an outstanding decade for literature. The Young Adult genre was such an underrated, ignored genre before the popularization of YA classics like The Hunger Games, The Fault in Our Stars, and Twilight. These books all went on to produce huge films, only cementing the validity of YA as a genre to be taken seriously in the literature world. YA introduced me and so many others to literature. I can't wait to see the next decade for YA and where we go from here.

[@cupofjae]

GIRL. I loved this video SO MUCH. I haven't read ANY of these and I desperately need to. Thanks for posting this! LOVE LOVE LOVE.

[@mattpen]

I find not enough people know about Paolo Bacigalupi’s books but the world building in his books are some of the best.

[@valeriaq1810]

My favorite YA Book of the Decade would be The Hunger Games. These books (as well as the movies) were so impactful to my life in the moment I needed them the most. Also, I went to a very tiny, private school where everybody knew I was "The Hunger Games" girl. It was amazing.

[@allypotter4404]

I agree with so many of your books on this list! Most of my faves from the early 2010 would have to be the releases of Heroes of Olympus, because the Percy Jackson series was what basically got me into my love of reading and fandom (along with The Infernal Devices). I will read anything Rick Riordan lays a hand on.

[@laurenstevens5219]

Love these picks! Saw some of my old favorites and got some new recommendations to add to my TBR!

[@alyssac5130]

I agree with Clockwork Princess!! It is the ONLY book I’ve ever cried with. I just read it two years ago when I was 15 and I loved it sooo much. TID will always be my favorite trilogy. I’m currents reading TDA, which is great, but I don’t think anything she writes will ever be as good as TID... anyway done with the rant. I love Clockwork Princess

[@SarahAtHeart]

The Raven Cycle and the Ember in the Ashes series ❤

[@Kaitlynne.G24]

Mine that had an impact on me would be TATBILB series and the Shatter Me series!❤️ And I think I’ll try and finish the Divergent Series based upon already knowing what happens. Start the new decade with a bang!🎉🎉

[@bluesidon4655]

I’ve gotta say Carry On by Rainbow Rowell for best book of the decade! But also I feel like The Fault in Our Stars had such a huge impact on YA at the time and still does now

[@miereads4377]

Love how exited you are about all of these books! You always make med want to read books I hadn't Even concidered picking up 😊

After high school I started to read all the time before starting college.

Wendy Darling Trilogy by Colleen Oakes, The Folk of the Air Trilogy by Holly Black ,Grace and Fury, by Tracy Banghart, Entwined by Heater Dixon and Ash Princess by Lauren Sebastian

[@isamirella8514]

I can't begin to track all the YA books I've read this decade (spanning my complete 20's), but my favorites that immediately pop into mind that I've read multiple times: The Fault in Our Stars The Raven Cycle The Infernal Devices Throne of Glass series

[@samantrapatricia-smulenbur1599]

The shatter me series has ruined me so it’s clearly my favorite

[@ashtonreagan4]

This video brings me joy and all the feels:) we had a great decade of reading!

[@Bookishbroccoli1]

Great video! I will say that I wasn't reading much YA in the early part of the decades. I was a true hipster. Reading Fitzgerald and Vonnegut, and watching Hitchcock movies. However, in 2016 I stumbled on your YT channel. The first one on Booktube. And you were talking about Throne Of Glass, and my immersion to YA was started there. I read more YA 2000-2009.

[@gabsbrown6903]

This is my first video of yours that im watching I saw that the strange and beautiful sorrows of ava lavender Fuck yeah, my favorite book of all time

[@chattymermaid1755]

Hunger games was definitely the trilogy that brought me back to reading. However I think my reading decade mainly revolved around every Sarah J Maas, Cassandra clare, Holly Black and Colleen Hoover's book that came out 😂. Also the best thing I did in 2017 was finally reading Percy Jackson.

[@lenalovesrats]

I never considered Spinning Silver YA. Is it? I thought it was adult fantasy.

[@JoLeeStephens]

It is 100% adult fantasy. I love that book. 5 stars. It's amazing, but it's not YA.

[@EmileeBreeana19]

Yeah i worked at a bookstore and we shelved that in adult fantasy

[@rubydoe5942]

is it contemporary?

[@EveStowe]

Loved this video idea!! I was obsessed with the Twilight series. I read Breaking Dawn so many times the cover fell off.

[@han26335]

Winger by Andrew Smith The Raven Cycle by Maggie Stiefvater The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

[@eht367]

Of the past decade, my favourite would probably have to be Six of Crows. Nothing beats a good heist novel!

Now I’m going to Goodreads to scroll through my reading history

one of my fav vids of the decade😍😂 I loved this so much!!! also haha the way you talked abt acomaf is the same way I try to approach it, like I can see why so many people love to hate it...but I adored it and was so obsessed with it!!!
