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!

6. But im relatively new to YA and have a few more on my bookcase waiting to be read.
I’ve only read 15 of the books but plan to read many many more, I’m so glad Cinder and Heartless we’re on the list, Marissa Meyer is my all time favorite YA author.
39/100! Dang. More than I thought, but most of them I read ages ago.
20 so far with still 15 on the wish list and 2 books I'v started but don't intend to pick up ever again.
Only 15!!! I do plan on reading more this year with all of the recent and soon to be adaptations!
Missing Violet Blood from The Cure Academy Series, it's soooo good im hooked
So far, 38. With a lot more marked as want-to-read.
28! But I definitely added a lot of them to my tbr list!
13 read and 16 to be readSo happy Perfect Chemistry is one this list, it really deserves to be here
32. But I have a lot more on my TBR next to my bed
Only 18 ☹️ with another 5 marked as "want to read".

And btw, The A Court of Thorns and Roses series is NOT YA lol I keep seeing it being recommended in bookstores as a top YA pick and I can only imagine some folks giving this to their 11-year..."RIGHT! Despite how much I enjoy Maas's writing and the stories she tells, I'd never, ever recommend it for a young adult reader.
Sadness, Only 3 from this list. I need to get reading!
