Top Ten Favorite Authors In YA Genre


# 1 Stephanie Meyer  

Katie: I absolutly love the Twilight series and i do credit this series as "the books that got me reading". I haven't read a book of her's that i haven't loooved including "The Host" and "The Short Second Hand Life of Bree Tanner". 

# 2 & 3 Rick Riordan 

Krisha: He tops my list because he has written so many books that are so witty and clever. Love them! Check out our review HERE for more reasons why we love the Percy Jackson series and HERE to view a previous TTT on why I'd like to meet him. 

Katie : not sure if "Percy Jackson and the Olympians" or "The Heros of Olympus" is classified as Young Adult ( might be labeled as middle school ) but it counts in my book, emphasis on the word "young". Rick Riordan is one of those authors on my automatic read list. 



 # 4 & 5 Suzanne Collins 

Katie:  "The Hunger Games" is a series that i will never forget, so great and so hard to top. A must read for everyone, YA or not! 


Krisha: I agree with Katie.  The best thing about Collin's work on the Hunger Games is that guys, girls, young (well, not too young), and old can all read this book.  It's not too girly or immature.  


# 6 & 7  J.L. Bryan 

 Katie:  I am a new fan! was turned on to Bryan's Covenant series by Loretta @ Between The Pages, and i have been hooked ever since. a great YA Series, not to mention book #1 "Jenny Pox" is free for your Kindle or E-reader!  

Krisha: J.L. Bryan- He's a favorite because not only do I love his Jenny Pox series but he seems to be a pretty cool.  With us ladies @ Inkk being new to the blog world, Bryan has been awesome to include us in a cover reveal and gave us our first ARC.  Thanks!  Follow us on Twitter to see our conversations with Bryan and other authors.

# 8 & 9 Veronica Roth 

Katie:  author of the amazing "Divergent" series this is a must read for all YA readers out there. epic! I am super impressed with Roth as an author, 24 years old and her debut novel "Divergent" made #1 on the NY Times best seller list! no where to go but awesome! 

Krisha : Veronica Roth- Epic, for sure!!!  When this series finally hits the big screen, it's going to knock your socks off!


# 10. Judy Bloom 

Krisha: I'm going a little old school here, but when I actually was considered a young adult, I was always reading a book by her and I would have called her my fav back then.

  11. Great choices! I love Roth and Collins - definitely the best dystopian out there right now.

    Judy Blume is definitely a Queen of YA. I still think about some of the scenes in Superfudge, Fudge-a-mania, and Are You There, God, It's Me, Margaret?

    Thanks for stopping by my TTT! I'm definitely following now!

    1. yeah i just recently was turned on to his book, mostly because A the plot sounded great, and B the kindle version is free.. still is, so there was no reason to read it! . ... I LOVED IT! you can check out our review for jenny pox in our book archives above.. but it is amazing. i have no idea how bryan manages to write from a girls point of view, but he does an amazing job ! let me know what you think of it when your done, im reading book 4 in the series ( Jenny plague bringer ) and Krisha is reading book 3 ( Alexander death) we are both big fans! thanks so much for stopping by!
