The Top 100 YA Books on Goodreads
A battlefield where wild magic fills the air. A high school where a fierce rivalry transforms an entire town. A near-future wasteland where a group of misfits seeks something greater than survival…
This is the world of YA. Whether you're a lifelong fan or a curious reader looking to try something new, come along with us as we reveal the very best of the genre.
There are thousands of YA books, so how did we go about finding the most beloved ones on Goodreads? We started by focusing on what's been added the most to Goodreads members' shelves. But this isn't simply a popularity contest; we wanted the best. So we narrowed down our list to include only books with at least a four-star average rating. We also decided to select just the first book in a series—otherwise prolific authors like Leigh Bardugo, Marie Lu, and Sarah J. Maas would claim many more spots on this list.
And now, without further ado, we present the Top 100 YA Books, ranked by popularity on Goodreads. How many have you read? Tell us in the comments!

I've read 14 of these but many of them are on my "To Read shelf!
flag
38 so far and 16 Want to Reads.

I made it through thirty of these. Anyone else surprised by the news Perks of Being a Wallflower cover? Very contemporary; the old one was more faithful.
40, but a bunch are on my TBR, and one is on a DNF list, so I won't ever read it, but tried to, so should I count it? Great list!
wow I only read 14, I thought I'd get at least 30 or something but I have 5 at home that I haven't read yet
53 for me! And 9 on my TBR! ❤️❤️ Love YA
83 so far. That made my librarian heart very happy. I guess I should tackle those last 17, now....
6, but almost all of them are on my to-read list!
It's pretty bad that I am the target age for these and I've only read 3, currently reading 1, and have about 50 of them on my to read list?
I really wish, Since You've Been Gone had made it into this list
I’ve read 60! Some of the others I’ve added to my “to read” list after looking through all of the books😊
48 read! This is a great list, adding plenty to TBR
37 but I think I probably own at least 15 more
47! And still more of them on my list to read. :)
I've read only 12 on this list, but it actually shows that YA is my personal go-to genre as I've read about 4-5 on each of the other lists. I love most genres, but generally, I just want to gravitate towards fiction and YA to escape. I read plenty of non-fiction for school! These lists are so fun to explore though, I've not only added more to my TBR list, but it's also just fun to see how many I have already read!
23 and a couple on my to-read-shelf
