Lois McMaster Bujold
I started boringly, waiting to be taught how to read in first grade. About second grade, I discovered I was allowed to read any book in the school library, not just the thin picture books laid out for my class during library period, and my reading level shot up.
The number of books I read in a year has varied wildly over the course of my life; lots back in my school days and my early working years, less once kids and my career arrived. Lately my reading time is limited by annoying eye issues, hence my recent turn to manga, ebooks, anime, and Great Courses DVDs. You can see the YA and manga I've reviewed (which is not all I've read, nor the anime I've consumed) on my My Books section -- https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...
I'm not sure what your reading level is in English, nor what kind of access you have to them where you are, though if you have access to Amazon, it's lots. Readers in the comments section might chime in with their favorite YA. (Probably not the depressing ones, if the OP is trying to boot up a desire to read more.) Patricia C. Wrede's books are marketed as YA, and are a lot of fun. You might try her 4-book series The Enchanted Forest Chronicles. T. Kingfisher (who writes kids' books as Ursula Vernon) is also fun.
I don't think I have a favorite book -- it's varied over the years. Much-reread books/authors in the past have included Tolkien and Georgette Heyer, though I'm mainly moving on to other explorations now.

After reading Masquerade in Lodi, I am now rereading all the Penric books, as there were references in the new one that didn't quite ring a bell. And just this morning, a memory popped up. There is a real town called Lodi, in the central valley of California. Were you aware of it? Credence Clearwater even wrote a song about it, with the chorus: Oh Lord, I'm Stuck in Lodi Again. Oh, and THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!

When asked "what is your favorite series," I do have ones within genres, but none overall because it's apples and oranges to me. That said, "Vorkosigan Saga" is my favorite Sci-Fi series, and if pressed on a favorite author, your name is the one I give. I simply love your flavor of storytelling. Obligatory fanboying out of the way, do you have any advice on writing stories for us who are woefully inexperienced?

One of my favorite things about Barrayar (the book) is how Aral maintains personal moral integrity in a situation where there is no "good", just "really bad" and "slightly less bad". I am interested in Aral's time as Regent during the Komarr Revolt, and how he maintains his own moral center through a nihilist conflict; also, since I'm wishing, one day I hope you can finish the sequel to Falling Free?
