Top Ten Tuesday - 21st Century Books I Think Will Become Classics

Why You Should Revisit the Classics From High School | VQR Online


Today's TTT is quite a subjective one and could be seen to create a bit of discussion as it really is influenced by your own reading tastes. The topic today was Ten 21st Century books I think will become Classics. These books have a reputation to hold as they would be up there with books like Jane Austen, Bronte Sisters, Thomas Hardy etc.

1. Twilight Series by Stephenie Meyer
2. Harry Potter Series - JK Rowling
3. The Hunger Games Series - Suzanne Collins 
4. Percy Jackson Series - Rick Riordan
5. Fifty Shades of Grey - EL James ( it led the way to opening up a once forbidden genre and is like the modern racy novel)
6. Wonder - RJ Palacio

    Nice picks! I just saw WIMPY KID on another list. I hadn't even thought of those books, but they definitely made graphic novels popular and even made reading cool for both reluctant readers and frequent readers alike. It's a groundbreaking series in a lot of ways.

    Happy TTT!

Review: Steel Princess - Rina Kent

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens.

I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she
