Sorry so late, but here's my top 5 Future classics.  Here's the Goodreads group link: https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/118368-top-5-wednesday


Top 5 Future Classics
1.     The Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins.  I think this will be considered a classic one day because it takes a look at what is popular in our society.  It’s a commentary on reality television and how we love to watch it, we’re desensitized by violence.
2.     A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin is an epic fantasy full of adventure, political intrigue, and is the closes to how Medieval society really was.  Like Tolkien, Martin creates a world full of politics, beliefs, cultures, races, and languages.  Also despite the length this much more accessible than Lord of the Rings.  The first book a “Game of Thrones” was published in 1996 and is still popular today.  There is even a television showed based on books
3.     Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling.  This story got a lot kids to read and people even discuss it and analyze still.  The book made a great impact on the 90s generation and they still love it today thanks to the movies.
4.     The Book Thief by Markus Zusak.  The Holocaust is still a time in history that effects and impacts people.  This is a beautiful story about a German girl surviving that time period history, and the book offers so much to look at and discuss.

5.     IT by Stephen King.  Besides the fact it’s by the King of Horror, pun intended, but this book is the epitome of horror.  The monster is fear itself and mostly takes the form of a clown.  It looks at the most vulnerable time in a humans life and shows how your fears can follow you well into adulthood.

Here is my copy of the first two books in Throne of Glass; Throne of Glass and Crown of Midnight.  I hope to get the third one, Heir of Fire for Christmas.  I'm loving the series so far.  Team Chaol!!!  But I like Dorian too, just not as Celaena's lover, but her good friend. I got both of these from BooksaMillion. Add caption I got this one at Barnes & Noble, but I will wait to finish it before I buy or ask for Court of Mist and Fury.  I'm hoping by then it will be in paperback, which I prefer since I take books with me wherever I go.

Top 5 Wednesday: Freebie

Top 5 Characters I Want to be Best Friends I decided for my Freebie to choose from one of the topic suggestions.   I don’t know if any of these characters would want to be friends with me Lol, but I like them and would love to be friends with them. 1.     Sansa Stark from The Song of Ice and Fire series by George RR Martin.   I admit, at first, I didn’t like Sansa didn’t appreciate how she treated Arya, but as the story goes on I have come feel sorry for her and fall for her character.   She goes through so much hell and survives so much trauma, and she needs a friend she can trust.   She also needs a friend who genuinely wants to be that, a friend, and she’s a sweet person, despite her attitude in the beginning. 2.     I would just love to be part of this friend group: Cinder, Scarlet, Cress, and Winter from The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer.   All these girls are really cool and would be fun to hang out with. 3.     Alice Cullen from Twilight by Stephanie Meyer.   She’s

Top 5 Polarizing Books

Twilight by Stephanie Meyer.  A lot of people in my generation can't stand this book, because they have realized how flawed this story is, and I get the dislike, I do.  As we get older we begin to see how bad a lot of YA like this can be, but I have a soft spot for this series.  This was the second series that I got into hardcore, the first series being Harry Potter, and I was one of those people who went through the vampire phase.  This was also the second series I got into that my mom liked too, and I am always trying to find ones that both me and my mom can enjoy. A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas.  I know a lot of people don't like this one, especially since the second one came out, and I have not read the second one so my opinion might change.  I loved the this book.  If it's a Beauty and the Beast retelling I'm going to be interested.  This retelling was done really well in my opinion.  I'll probably get mad at Tamlin like everybody else as a I r
