Top YA Authors Reveal Favorite YA Novels

"Over the last year, one of the ways in which Booklist has celebrated #50YearsofYA was by publishing essays from YA luminaries about their love of young adult fiction. As part of the piece, each shared their top YA titles."
I have only listed the books not the author who's favorites they are. The list goes as follows: 1-4 Paolo Bagicalupi, 5-9 Joseph Bruchac, 10-14 Susan Campbell Bartoletti, 15-18 John Green, 19-23 A.S.King, 24-28 E.Lockhart, 29-33 Patricia McCormick, 34-37 Jason Reynolds, 38-42 Neal Shusterman, 43-47 Maggie Stiefvater
