Last week BuzzGirl discussed her favorite YA 90's books and asked you to share your own thoughts on the topic. Well, after reviewing all of your (sometimes hilarious) comments, we have thrown together a Random List featuring the best YA book series from the 1990s! BEHLOD and let us know which ones you think were rightfully crowned best of the best.
The Baby Sitters Club by Ann M. Martin
dreamingnow: I remember The Babysitters Club! I was probably younger than the intended audience when I read them, but whatever. I devoured them.
Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling
kitty_committee: I remember Goblet of Fire came out the summer before sixth grade started and all but like three people used it for the first book report of the year. SO funny.
Fear Street Saga by R.L. Stine
chelleyreads: i really liked fear street and borrowed them from the library every week. after we exhausted all the library's fear street books we moved on to christopher pike.
Warriors by Erin Hunter
emilyjg: I survived on the Warriors series as I was growing up! They changed my perspective on reading almost as much as Harry Potter.
Goosebumps by R.L. Stine
godpinklover: I love R.L. Stine he is a great author. I love Goosebumps.
Animorphs by K.A. Applegate
jochoa1994: Omigosh..the animorphs..I loved that series so very much! I want to go back and re-read them now!
Gossip Girl by Cecily von Ziegesar

Dear America by Kristiana Gregory
inthebestworlds: I devoured all the Dear America books! Love the 90's. I get nostalgic all the time...
A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket
kitty_committee: Oh! Somebody said Series of Unfortunate Events. I can't believe I forgot those!
One Last Wish series by Lurlene McDaniel
veela-valoom: I used to love (used to!) the One Last Wish books by Lurlene McDaniels. I tried to re-read one as an adult. I sobbed the entire book They were so sad! Why did I do that to myself as a child?
HippesBeuTBooks: Ah the 90's...good times!!

emilyjg: Yay! I got quoted! Good choices though!
intothemorning: Great list :D I read almost every single one of these as I was growing up. But I'm with veela-valoom, why did we read those really sad books by Lurlene McDaniels?

RivkaBelle: Oh man -- Babysitter's Club & Dear America books I devoured! I think I still have several of my favorite Dear Americas actually - oh, and the Royal Diaries that spun off from that craze!
TypingTiara: So many great books on this list! Now I'm wanting to go dig through my old boxes of books and do some rereads. Hm...
chelleyreads: i forgot about the lurlene mcdaniel books! back in middle school i read a bindup of a trilogy about a girl with red hair who had cancer and when i finished the book i was depressed for a few days. i never touched another LM book after that. they were just too sad.
ame1184: i definitely read almost every one of those series. the best though was definitely baby sitter's club. my older sisters read that series and i forced them to give me every book when the were finished
jomarch17: Harry Potter and The Series of Unfortunate Events! I love those books. I read The Warriors for a little while, too, but then lost interest in it.
dreamingnow: Haha, I forgot that I had commented on the list. I was surprised to see that I was quoted!
brookea_2006: Wow, I read most of these books in my childhood. I think the only ones I never read were the Series of unfortunate events books and the warriors books.
Tusora:
I remember all of these except for One Last Wish, Gossip Girl and Warriors.
BookItToMe: omg I remember so many of those books and series. A true blast from the past. Thank you!
d0p3y101: Ah I used to love sooo many of these books

veela-valoom: I'd forgotten about the Dear America books! I only read a few but I remember how many the bookstore had.
My friends tried to start our own babysitters club yet. But it was more just pretending than a real club because we only ever watched our own siblings.
faultstars: Wow..some of these I don't even know of.
LydiaM: Warriors! Yes! I love that series!
