    His Dark Materials
    Lord of the Flies

    The Mortal Instruments
    The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time
    Twilight
    Uglies series
    Infernal Devices
    The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants
    Vampire Academy series (another favourite)
    Discworld
    My Sister's Keeper
    The Inheritance cycle
    The Princess Diaries
    Treasure Island
    Delirium
    Just Listen
    Fallen series
    House of Night series
    Before I Fall
    Unwind
    The Maze Runner series
    Matched
    Gallagher Girls

    I make that 31!

    Any books that I'd suggest are probably on that list... but The Host, by Stephanie Meyer is a good one (and not at all Twilight-related)

    Only twenty; primarily because a lot of them are recent publications. I read anything I can get my paws on; YA or not.
