Lois McMaster Bujold
I started boringly, waiting to be taught how to read in first grade. About second grade, I discovered I was allowed to read any book in the school library, not just the thin picture books laid out for my class during library period, and my reading level shot up.
The number of books I read in a year has varied wildly over the course of my life; lots back in my school days and my early working years, less once kids and my career arrived. Lately my reading time is limited by annoying eye issues, hence my recent turn to manga, ebooks, anime, and Great Courses DVDs. You can see the YA and manga I've reviewed (which is not all I've read, nor the anime I've consumed) on my My Books section -- https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...
I'm not sure what your reading level is in English, nor what kind of access you have to them where you are, though if you have access to Amazon, it's lots. Readers in the comments section might chime in with their favorite YA. (Probably not the depressing ones, if the OP is trying to boot up a desire to read more.) Patricia C. Wrede's books are marketed as YA, and are a lot of fun. You might try her 4-book series The Enchanted Forest Chronicles. T. Kingfisher (who writes kids' books as Ursula Vernon) is also fun.
I don't think I have a favorite book -- it's varied over the years. Much-reread books/authors in the past have included Tolkien and Georgette Heyer, though I'm mainly moving on to other explorations now.

I just bought the three Penric novellas and I cannot wait to return to that strange upside-down medieval Europe! Do we have maps for the locations or at least some background info about the places/events from history that inspired the world-building for the novellas?

So I was rereading Falling Free the other day, and I don't recall that it says anywhere how to pronounce the name of the planet Rodeo. Was it perhaps originally discovered by space Texans (ROH-dee-oh), or maybe Escobarans (roh-DAY-oh)? :) Just something I kept wondering about.
