Best of 2009 – Young Adult

This was an unbelievable year for books. I read 213 (+ Dec) books this year. Most of them were pretty good ones. It is always hard to pick your favorites, so I decided I would pick my favorite books in six categories: Young Adult, Paranormal/Urban Fantasy, Fantasy, Middle Grade Fiction, Children’s Books, and Graphic Novels. The young adult picks are listed below in no particular order.
