Last month, we highlighted the favorite books of the FYA writers and contributors. We then asked you to choose your favorite from that list (or write-in another worthy candidate).
And today, the calendar has turned, the votes have been tallied, and without further adieu, the winner of the 2017 FYA Reader Favorite is ...
The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas. Over half of the votes were for this book, and it just goes to show that it’s absolutely as powerful as everyone says.
Second place was a tie between A Court of Wings and Ruin by Sarah J. Maas and Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor. The top write-in choice was In Other Lands by Sarah Rees Brennan.
If you’re psychic, leave your predictions for the top book of 2018 (and some winning lottery numbers) in the comments!
About the Author: Mandy is a small town girl living in a nerdy world, or—if you want to get literal—an editor/writer living in Austin, TX. In addition to yearning for YA books—the more dystopian or fantastical, the better—she can also be found swooning over superheroes, dreaming of The Doctor and grinning at GIFs.
