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.
@@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
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.
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 🥰
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!
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.
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
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 💗💗
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
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.
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.
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
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!!
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 🥰
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! 😁
-I fell in love with reading again this year, thank you for being a part of that. Can't wait for this next decade of reading and book reviews from you.
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!
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.
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!
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 ➰
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! 😁👍
2010 - The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan 2011 - Inheritance by Christopher Paolini 2012 - Days of Blood and Starlight by Laini Taylor 2013 - Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare 2014 - The Sorcerer Heir by Cinda Williams Chima 2015 - The Mime Order by Samantha Shannon 2016 - A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J Maas 2017 - Godsgrave by Jay Kristoff 2018 - The Poppy War by R.F. Kuang 2019 - The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon
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.
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)
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.
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!
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 😂
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?
Love you're list, you're super aware that the "fandom" faves are still worth acknowledging. While some might see ACOMF or Cassandra Claire as lesser, they steal our hearts and make us happy and we should be allowed enjoy things for the sake of enjoying them!
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.
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.
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!!! 💕👏🏻💕👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
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
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
Loved this video, it was so interesting! I’m definitely going to do a list of my favorite books of the decade 😊 Also I can’t believe Six of Crows came out in 2015, it feels like yesterday! I’m shook
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.
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!!!
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!🎉🎉
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
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.
the moment you said ACOMAF I genuinly screamed YES.! YAYAYAYAYAYYY!!!! And girl, honey, SAME. yes. everything you said about the series, yes, yes, YES ME TOO.
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 ) 💫💫💫💫💫💫💫
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.
Not to be a B, but it’s actually my mother’s maiden name and they pronounced it Baw-chi-guh-loopy :):) (or baccigaluppi) That typical Italian double C sound 🇮🇹 Gotta love it 😻😻 I’ve heard it pronounced so many diff ways you wouldn’t believe it! Most common mispronunciations are “Buh-kig-uh-luppy” and “baw-see-gah-luppy/bossy galuppy” 😆😆 Btw-I do so very sincerely hope that this comment does not come off as snarky or snooty or superior cuz it really isn’t, I absolutely adore you!!! You are just so articulate & graceful, I look forward to your videos so much!! So that being said, I’d never brattily correct you & only because I hate it so much when I realize I have been mispronouncing something am I simply relaying the message 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
How have I not read any of these!? 😭 But most are already on my TBR list, so I'm looking forward to them! Some of my favorites of the decade were Hunger Games, Throne of Glass, and A Simple Favor!
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.
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.
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
The Scythe trilogy is definitely on the top of my list to read in 2020. I started the first one a couple months ago but got distracted with other books (oops lol). Plus, I really want to read The Queens Thief series next year; those are definitely on the top of my list. Love your videos! xx
I don't like them anymore, but all of John Green changed my 12 yo self. I remember having every single thing he published on my shelf, and after reading them my taste in books just grew and gree.
After high school I started to read all the time before starting college. Some of my favorites are The Princesses of Westfalin Trilogy by Jessica Day George, Aurelia Trilogy by Anne Osterlund, could not put this series down! 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
Damn it girl i would have never been so much agree with someone about picking acomaf as a whole best YA book of decade like you blow it up i have to thank you about your opnion and yeah shout out to those who are disagree couse i think you can never exchange any feeling and thoughts about this book while you were reading it with any other book so yeah... also about six of crow... one of the best books i read in my entire life But anyway acomaf( i specifically mention acomaf couse i love the atmosphere more than those two) is such a remarkable an non reapeatable book of all time. Thank you♥️🇮🇷
