My favorite would have to be Suzanne Collins. The Hunger Games are wonderful books, and her writing style is so easy to read.
And I am a follower of your blog, and NOW a follower on Twitter! @jmanni32

My favorite would have to be Maggie Stiefvater. Her books are absolutely amazing! I follow you on Twitter (@TabithaMichelle) and I also follow the blog. Thanks for the great giveaway!

I'm going to have to say Stephanie Meyer and not necessarily because the Twilight books are my super favorites, but because I think she brought the genre to light for a lot of people. I'm an adult and I started back on YA because of her and I know a lot of other adults have to (whether they want to admit that or not). I think it was a huge boost to the entire industry.

Hey Lauren, thanks for this another awesome Giveaway! ;)
My favorite YA author is... ??? Oh my, that's a hard question! Let me think...
Can I choose two?
Well, I'm totally in love with Fallen by Lauren Kate. I really like her style. The way she writes is completely fascinating.
But, Becca Fitzpatrick is an excellent author too. Hush, Hush is one of my favorite YA books.
Okay, I pick both! Lauren Kate and Becca Fitzpatrick. :)
I follow you on Twitter (@lyagama) and I also follow the blog (Lygia Gama).
Thanks again.
Lygia.

My favourite would probably be either Cassie Clare or Suzanne Collins. I can't decide, they're both so awesome! I follow you on twitter (@ciclovesbooks) and on the blog. Thanks for the awesome giveaway! :D

I love many YA authors but I'm going to say that Eoin Colfer is my favorite one right now... Every time I read an Artemis Fowl book I have the best time :)

Thanks for such a cool giveaway!
Right now, although I have many, I'd have to pick Sophie Jordan. Not only because her book is A MA ZING and it's not that I can write anywhere near good as her, but that her rhythm and pace is like mine. So I can relate that way. Oh, and did I mention Firelight is A MA ZING? LOL

Thanks so much for the contest!
My favorite YA author. Hmmm... I think it's a tie between Maggie Stiefvater and Suzanne Collins. I devoured The Hunger Games trilogy and Linger is at the very top of my TBR pile. Both authors are amazing.

Thank you SO much for doing this giveaway. The list of the books you are giving away are PRETTY AWESOME!
My favorite YA author (I have two) are Richelle Mead and Maggie Stiefvater. They are both amazing, and unique with their stories.
There is Richelle who just makes you feel like a real teenager (even if you're an adult). She pulls you into her exciting vampire world that is Vampire Academy.
Then we have Maggie. Oh dearest, she makes you breathless with every word poetry word she writes. Her Wolves of Mercy Falls series is fantastic. She makes you ache and long for what her characters go through. I love it.
I follow you on the blog. (Minamostaza)

I'm crossing my fingers and hope to win this one. Thanks again for giving us this opportunity to have those books on our bookshelves. :)
Check out this awesome project!
