Happy Monday!  Hope you had a great weekend.  I’m supposed to be looking into an insurance matter, so you can bet instead I’m playing with a list of Have Read and To Be Read books!  lol  I stole this list from Janet Sumner Johnson’s blog, and posted it here cause I’ve been meaning to see where the holes are in my reading.  Let me know what I’m missing, and which ones are your favorites!

But first–a disclaimer:  I didn’t come up with this “Top YA” list, so it’s sure to be missing stuff and I can see it also includes plenty of books that are actually middle-grade or not YA at all.  If I had made the list, it would be perfect, of course! ;)  It’s also true that some of the books I’ve read I only remember in fractured pieces, and some I’ve missed I know I really want to read.  So this list isn’t meant to be a recommended reading list, either!

With that in mind, here we go:
