I've included several on my list that you also have yours such as the Secret Life of Bees; To Kill a Mockingbird. I completely forgot to include Harry Potter. Hunger Games is not a debut novel for Suzanne Collins. She wrote a very popular series called Gregor, the Overlander, though I think it is considered Junior Lit, not YA.

She's Come Undone - forgot about that book. If I remember correctly, I found it very disturbing but in a good way. A book to make you think after you've read it.
ReplyDeleteAnne, I knew at least a couple of them weren't debuts! :) I'll have to check out your blog.. looks like we have some good books we like in common!
ReplyDeleteBree, She's Come Undone was definitely different. But I really loved it. I think I read it first when I was a freshman in high school and it didn't really catch my attention. So I reread it and loved it.
