Nobody can do a fantastic, gripping story like Libba.

      Libba is fantastic! Her Gemma Doyle series is brilliant, and Beauty Queens was hysterical.

    I love your list. This week was super hard for me :) I def agree with 4 & 7-10! Especially Hannah Harrington and Gayle Forman, man, they write such emotionally resonating books.

      Emotionally resonating is the PERFECT way to describe their books! I want to reread Saving June soon. Beautiful.

      David Levithan and Rachel Cohn are the entire reasons I read YA at all, I remembered picking up Nick & Norah and feeling like I'd found home. And yes, I hope you read Hannah Harrington's books soon! Tell me what you think of them once you do!

    I feel a really stern look from you in my direction, I still haven't read anything by John Green. I've had TFioS on my TBR pile for ages, together with a lot of other books! I hope to read it soon! *please don't hate me* :)

      A stern look indeed! I hope you get around to it soon, he's really worth all the hype around him. And let me know what you think when you do read him!

      (Which better be soon. The stern look is still here.)

    John Green and Gayle Forman are on my list too. I've read Attachments by Rainbow Rowell and loved it, so I can't wait to read Eleanor and Park. Great list!

      I LOVE LOVE LOVE Eleanor & Park, oh my goodness. As soon as I'd read that, I ran out and got Attachments. She has such fantastic characters.

      I felt the same way when i realized I forgot Sarah Dessen! It's ok, these three authors just go without saying, right? ;)

      =O You do have your work cut out for you! I'm excited to see who you did choose though, because it seems I'll probably have a lot of work to do, too!

    That whole second row is perfection, in my opinion. Love all the authors on that bit and would totally buy their books too!
