Blogoversary Day 1: Favorite YA Books

HOORAY! Citrus Reads is now a year old! *throws confetti* In light of this event, I've got books to giveaway and favorites lists to share. First up? Favorite books in YA. I originally intended to list 10, but  I COULDN'T CHOOSE JUST 10. I had to slide in an 11th entry.

Thank you, EVERYONE, for sticking around with me, especially over the past few months when I was busy and had no time to blog. I <3 each and every one of you for your support and shared love of books. I would not have the book collection I have today, if it weren't for all the amazing reviews and recommendations. I would not love YA as much, without this community.

SO, here is my favorites list (with a few 'honorable mentions'). If you're interested in the giveaway, it's listed below.

Favorite YA books since I started blogging (in no particular order): 

Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins

Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas

I can't guarantee 100% that I'll be able to go to the signing, but IF I do, I'll get the ARCs signed. If I can't, the winner will just receive the ARC. Please understand that the signature is not a guarantee.
