Wow - I haven't read ANY of those - I guess I have a lot to look forward to, eh?
A few of my favorites are:
Trap for Cinderella - Sebastien Japrisot
Never Let Me Go - Kazuo Ishiguro
The Book Thief - Markus Zusak
The Awakening - Kate Chopin
So many more of course!
Wow, that is hard. Too hard really.
I can't even begin to answer it. I feel like I'm asked so often and always give an inadequate answer every time.
Yeah, it is hard. But if I really had to narrow it down...
The Book Thief/I Am the Messenger by Markus Zusak
The Attolia Series
by Megan whalen Turner
The Princess Bride by William Goldman
Wow! I have quite a few favorites:
Bridget Jones Diary - Helen Fielding
84 Charing Cross Road - Helene Hanff
Alice, I Think - Susan Juby
The Diva Series - By Yvonne Collins and Sandi Rideout
Smashed (I can never remember the author's name - its way too long)
and tons, and tons more.
I can't pick favorites! I always change my mind.
Right now, however, I love LIVING DEAD GIRL
=D
I can't pick just a few favorites, because they always change... but right now, I would have to say Just Listen and This Lullaby by Sarah Dessen and Audrey, Wait! by Robin Benway. And the Violet series by Melissa Walker.
You liked Prep? I didn't like it at all. I barely finished it... it just seemed really dry to me.
Hope -- are you kidding me? Prep was quite possibly the best novel I have ever read. It is definitely my favorite.

I think I change my mind quite often about this because there are so many books I love, but, definitely:
MELINA MARCHETTA(I think every book is a little better than the last, but all still stand-outs):
'Looking for Alibrandi'
'Saving Francesca'
'On the Jellicoe Road'
Then, a few others include:
JOHN STEINBECK - 'Mice and Men'
MARIAN KEYES - 'Anybody Out There?'
MONICA MCINERNEY - 'The Alphabet Sisters'
JACLYN MORIARTY - 'Feeling Sorry for Celia' and 'Finding Cassie Crazy'
I have this fear that I've completely forgotten my favourites ... There definitely has to be more than that. Eeekkk! Bad, bad, bad memory!
Only ONE day to go! :D YAY! YAY! YAY! :D
When people ask me my favorite books ever, I usually consider that as books I actually re-read, lol. Therefore, it's easy for me to pick them. Mine are:
Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman
Boy Next Door and Boy Meets Girl by Meg Cabot
Lords and Ladies by Terry Pratchett
That's all.
And I too was a bit shocked that you liked Prep. I haven't read it yet, but I've heard so many bad things about it. People I know didn't really seem to like it at all.
It's so hard to choose. I love your list!
OK, here are a couple of my favourites:
Let's Get Lost by Sarra Manning
Fly on the Wall by E. Lockhart
Becoming Bindy Mackenzie by Jaclyn Moriarty
oh, there are so many more! I'll stop there for now.
Luisa
I still have to determine a favorite since the one I picked in high school, and that was the great gatsby (didn't have much YA a few years back!)
Prep was an interesting book, I can see how people would love it or hate it. I'm sort of in the middle about it.
Haha yeah Curtis Sittenfeld is like that though -- you either love her or you hate her. I personally love her to the infinite power. :D
