Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish.
Top Ten “Older” Books You Don’t Want People To Forget About
1. My Sister’s Keeper by Jodi Picoult – This book was amazing. I’m not a huge fan of Jodi Picoult’s books just because I am depressed after I finish reading them but I absolutely loved this book. The story of these two sister’s is incredible.
2. Sarah’s Key by Tatiana de Rosnay – Another incredible book. I have read the author’s books that were published after this one and this wins over by a long shot. Amazing.
3. Confessions of a Shopaholic series – Gahhhh… I love this series. I used to be a huge fan of chick lit(now not so much because YA has won me over) and this was the series that started it all. My copy of the first book is so tattered and loved I’m not sure if it’s even still readable 😛
4. Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson – I read this umm… (gasp) 16 years ago I think? And I still remember the story perfectly. This was one of the rare books I actually enjoyed that was a school read.
5. Paradise by Judith McNaught – Oh my gosh, I read this book years ago. I borrowed it from the library on a whim in high school and I loved it. I’m not a big fan of romance genre books but I love(and still love) this one!
6. Rosato & Associates series by Lisa Scottoline – There are a bazillion books in this series and they are sooooo good. Crime, girl power(BAH!).. and they are immensely easy to read.
7. Fall on Your Knees by Ann Marie MacDonald – Ok, maybe I am biased about this one because it takes place relatively close to where I grew up but it is SO good. It is the strangest story I have ever read(with a lot of taboo subjects) but it is an amazing story as well!
8. White Oleander by Janet Fitch – I’m always trying to fit this book into every category 😛 I love it!
9. Charlie St. Cloud by Ben Sherwood – Ghosts, YA, tears… what more could I ask for ? lol
10. The Time Traveler’s Wife by Audrey Niffenegger – Just a lovely love story. <3

Oh, I wholeheartedly agree with the inclusion of Katherine Paterson. I almost included her book Lyddie on my list. Thanks for sharing!
I haven’t actually read anything else by Katherine Paterson-I’ll have to check her out!
I can’t believe I neglected to add Bridge to Terabithia to my list! I loved that book so much that I have refused to see that movie. I do not want my childhood memories of it distorted. Is that weird?
Oh my gosh! Not weird at all! I actually haven’t seen the movie myself-I’m too scared it will change my image and memories.
Can’t believe I’ve only read a couple of these! Great list, and I really need to read Bridge to Terabithia already!
I realized this Top Ten as well that I haven’t read a lot of the books people are listing! (I’ll just have to keep adding to my TBR, lol). Bridge to Terabithia is amazing honestly-I’m thinking about rereading(if I ever find the time!)
I just love a couple of the books you’ve listed! sorry for my late reply– it’s been a hectic couple of weeks! 😀

lol it’s ok Rola 🙂 September always seems to be a hectic month! Thanks for dropping in!
I LOVE the Confessions of a Shopaholic Series so so much! My copy looks pretty awful too, but that’s because it’s gotten so much love!
