Hello everyone!
I thought it would be prudent to break the list into sections of 20, to blurb each book a bit, and give the books the attention they deserve. I will post the list in entirety, don’t fear! If you can’t get enough of these lists, I suggest visiting Persnickety Snark and giving her your nominations, as she is creating a list as well 😀
To pick up where we left off!
40. Wake by Lisa McMann
Blurb: For seventeen-year-old Janie, getting sucked into other people’s dreams is getting old. Especially the falling dreams, the naked-but-nobody-notices dreams, and the sex-crazed dreams. Janie’s seen enough fantasy booty to last her a lifetime.
She can’t tell anybody about what she does — they’d never believe her, or worse, they’d think she’s a freak. So Janie lives on the fringe, cursed with an ability she doesn’t want and can’t control.
Then she falls into a gruesome nightmare, one that chills her to the bone. For the first time, Janie is more than a witness to someone else’s twisted psyche. She is a participant….
Ethan Wate, who has been counting the months until he can escape from Gatlin, is haunted by dreams of a beautiful girl he has never met. When Lena moves into the town’s oldest and most infamous plantation, Ethan is inexplicably drawn to her and determined to uncover the connection between them.
In a town with no surprises, one secret could change everything.

I actually would have expected Speak and the Libba Bray trilogy to be higher on this list. I've either read or want to read nearly all of these!
I agree with Liz, I do wish Speak and Gemma Doyle was higher, along with Catcher in the Rye and The Outsiders. I mean, the Outsiders!
oh dear, beautiful creatures, really? you want to include it at all? and you really think it is better than the princess bride and the catcher in the rye? really? (oh. and there are others that i wouldn't agree with, but BC particularly)
and i'm glad you included the secret garden, even though it is more of a childrens book, because it is marvy. i'm impressed you've made a list 100 titles – it's so subjective. are they your personal favourites in order, or are you judging them objectively and what they have offered to the genre?
once again, such amazing books! Although I didn't like Wicked Lovely at all. And what is the Outsiders doing so low down in the numbers? Like the other Audrey said, it's the Outsiders!
