Dune

Harry Potter

The Office (UK)

The Hobbit

The Handmaid's Tale

I just couldn't get in to this book. half way through but its just sitting on my windowsill waiting to be picked up again

Wheel of Time

Everyone is in, so I'll just reveal now.

Most guesses were very highly ranked.

We did have two early incorrects, though.

Looks like both The Hobbit and Harry Potter were too highly on the "young adult" side to qualify. They both ranked in the top 5 in the young adult list they did later in the decade. Derwi and Sixfour both get one strike.

Everything else was good.

I don't know which was intended, but The Handmaid's Tale was in both categories. Accobra only gets credit for one answer, but I'm removing it from both lists.

You may now guess for the second round. Answers due in 34 hours, but I may reveal this time tomorrow if everyone is in again.

Commentary: Game of Thrones WAY too high at #5. That might have been justifiable in 2016, but you can't end the show like that and pretend that doesn't matter.

Feel free to give your own commentary on the rankings as they are revealed.

sherlock

commentary: dune sucks

and lol at harry potter not making it. it's only like the most insanely successful series ever

A Song of Ice and Fire

I figured it was guaranteed to be on at least one of the two lists!

The Dark Tower

The Sopranos

1984

Think this should be wrong because it premiered in '99. No idea what #2 would be if it's not this tho tbh.

Lol at The Office at #9 btw. I like the show, but come on.

Actually I do have an idea what #2 is, but I don't wanna guess it.

This, but wasn’t sure if we could comment before reveals. I have an idea on what should be #2 but it’s driven by my own personal tv bias.

Replied before I saw this. Maybe what I’m thinking!

Agree it's too high, but don't think it's nearly as egregious as GOT at 5.

The Martian Chronicles

Mad Men

Are children's books and YA the same these days?
