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!

flag
? No to :Peace Like a River
Ordinary Grace
Wolf Hollow
The Whistling Season
No wonder this culture is video gaming instead of reading .
49, and I own another 17 that are still sitting in my TBR pile.
I've only read 14 of the books on this list, but I'm planning on reading some of the books on here, so that number'll increase.
28. Half of the remaining are on my to-read list.
22 so far! And I think like 6 are on my tbr list

The young uns aren't all gamers. My kids are given a choice of analysing a fictional character from any form of media for y12 psychology for healthy personality development (or not) and for mental health status in 2 of their assignments. This year and last year I have only had 1 game character, a few TV/movie characters and lots of books. 13 Reasons Why and Game of Thrones are popular this year due to the TV shows/movies but because the TV series is harder to go back to to find supporting arguments they have read/reread the book(s) and gone with that. I love these assignments because the students get to choose so they are more engaged, I get to know what they enjoy and they are encouraged to read.
I've read 27 of them, which is probably way too many for someone nearing 40 (not that I'm nearing 40, just that someone might be *hypothetically*).
I’m not a big YA fan, but this seems like a solid YA list. I was impressed by the number of books featuring LGBT male leads. Would be nice to see some LGBT female leads, but hey.
-All the Harry Potter books-Divergent + Insurgent (CR Allegiant)
-The perks of being a Wallflower
-the graphic novel of Anne of Green Gables
-The Vampire Academy series
-The Sky is Everywhere
-Born at Midnight + Awake at Dawn.
Only 12 so far, but about three times that many are on my to-read shelf!
Wow only 16, which is terrible as only 22 aren't on my TBR.
Well, I found a few I never heard of before -- that's always a good sign.
I've read 17. I'm surprised, I thought I would have more, haha.
It's kinda telling that as far as I can tell, this list contains only books written in English. Way to ignore every other language on the planet. Translated fiction is a thing, you know.
21 read and most of the unread are a part of my “to read” list.
He leído más del 60% de ellos! Im proud of myself!
15 not counting those on my Want To Read list. Need to read more.
11! I think my list will go just up to 20, max.
I've only read 13 of them, but I have 44 on my TBR list! I need to catch up!
59 and my OCD is twitching :P I haven't heard of about 15 or so of them. The rest I've either read, have on my TBR, or decided not to read.
I've read 67 of them - and of the remaining 43, 34 are on my tbr. :)
dang, I've only read 18, better get cracking.
Crazy - I've read 14 of the 100 and 14% happens to be my YA reading average for the past 15 years! (though my goal is to go up to 50% YA as this years' average)
19 but am discovering more I want to read with this list!
