tier ranking the 2000's YA classics 📚

If you've seen some of my older videos, you know how I feel about 13 Reasons Why I hated this book. I thought it was terrible.

I have to put the Mortal Instrument series in ahead of its time. ... Is it problematic? Absolutely. Was it also iconic and ahead of its time? Yes.

It is literally still one of my favorite book series of all time. ... Nothing has ever traumatized me the way that the epilogue of Clockwork Princess did.

I did read Hush, Hush, and Crescendo. And I read them multiple times cuz I was so into them. ... it definitely wasn't good.

But I actually reread this last year and it was really bad. It wasn't as bad as I expected it to be and it wasn't nearly as bad as some of the other Hunger Games knockoffs, but it still wasn't good.

Divergent, which is one of my personal least favorite dystopia novels, especially of that time of the popular ones. I hate this book.

Yeah, she's she's going in the Twilight dupes tier. Another one of the bad ones. Definitely one of the worst on that list. ... it was just not very good.

I love this series. This is going in ahead of its time because it's just it's just so good. I've only read the first three, but they hold up so well as a fantasy series.

You all know I don't really talk about Harry Potter on here anymore, but obviously it was like a very profoundly influential series in my childhood. I'm going to put this in why I am the way I am derogatory. As I've gotten older, my love for this series really has deteriorated so much...

I did read Hush, Hush, and Crescendo. And I read them multiple times cuz I was so into them. ... it definitely wasn't good.

controversial opinion, I didn't really like Looking for Alaska very much. I know a lot of people really love it. Maybe I'd like it some more if I read it again, but I just I thought it was okay at best.

I did not like it when I read it back then. So, I don't want to put it in the bottom tier cuz I don't remember if I actually think it's that bad. So, I'm just going to put it in Switzerland for now. This was another vampire paranormal type series that was just not very good.

Matched easily goes into the bad Hunger Games dupes tier. It's it's worse than Delirium, so it's going before that one. I could not finish the second book in this series, even back then. It was not good.

New Moon was easily my favorite one, and that is why in particular, this one has to go into why I am the way I am derogatory. Like, why was I at 13 years old so utterly obsessed with New Moon and just reading and rereading Bella being so unbelievably depressed and suicidal for like 500 pages just over and over again?

I know everybody hates the ending of Ruin and Rising. I am a part of the people who have the less popular opinion that the epilogue and the ending of that book is actually perfect.

It's going in the bottom tier simply for America Singer. It's not the worst book I've ever read, don't get me wrong, but it's close. And I just hated my experience of reading it so much.

I am putting in ahead of its time because I believe it to be ahead of its time. ... I ended up really, really loving the series as a whole. ... I do think that this as a series is underrated.

I did not like this series personally. I know a lot of people really love it. ... I just really don't think it's very good.

I like the Six of Crows series more than I like the Shadow and Bone series. that is one of my favorite series of all time.

I'm going to put this in I'm Switzerland as well. This was not nearly as bad as the other dystopian Hunger Games knockoffs, but it also wasn't the best either. ... I definitely remember enjoying it much more than the other dystopians.

This, I think, is one of the first contemporary books I ever read... And that book changed my life. I read so many books because I read that book and I loved it so deeply.

I was deeply, deeply obsessed with this book. ... I do think that the host actually unintentionally explored a lot of really interesting themes... that book had a profound effect on me as a teen.

This is easily going in the top tier because it is one of my favorite series of all time to this day. ... life-changing series. a staple of the dystopian genre.

This one easily has to go into Forever Classic. ... But I still think it's forever a classic. It's a fantastic series.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower is to this day still one of my favorite books of all time. I think it's such a phenomenal young adult novel.

I'm going to put this in I'm Switzerland because I think they're okay. I think when I first read them, I kind of liked them cuz I was surprised by them. I didn't think I would like them at all and I ended up not hating them.

I literally hate these books now. I've talked about this many times. I tried to reread Twilight, I want to say 5, six years ago or something now, and I just couldn't do it. I couldn't even get past 100 pages.

I really loved this series when I first read it. ... I do remember really, really loving this book. And this was one of those series that had a really profound impact on me and really got me into reading.

I read this like six, five, six years ago, something like that. And I really loved it at that time. ... this book had a profound impact on me.
