Thanks! I've read all of these but one and I loved them all :)

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Leah!

I volunteer in my stake's Family History Center on Tuesday mornings, so my TTT posts are often published in the late afternoons. Occasionally, I'm super organized and put it together the night before, but that's pretty rare. Ha ha.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Jenni!

THE BOOK THIEF is a great one! There's definitely a reason it's so popular.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Cindy!

HG is definitely a classic, especially because it really ushered in the Great Dystopian Age of literature! I think a classic can also be defined as something many have tried to replicate and just...can't. That applies here for sure.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Leslie!

Agreed! I enjoy NF as long as it reads like fiction. Ha ha. I've heard nothing but good things about THE BOYS IN THE BOAT. I'm excited to read it.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, T!

Great minds think alike! Both have been super popular choices this week and no wonder. They're unique, memorable, thought-provoking, and entertaining.

Thanks for popping in, Melissa!

Definitely! Kids will be falling in love with the whole wizarding world for years and years to come.

Thanks for stopping by, Nishitak!

THE GIVER is a good one. It's spare, which allows a lot of room for deep thinking! I hope you enjoy it when you read it.

Thanks for popping in, Zoe!

THE ONE AND ONLY IVAN is a tear jerker, but it's also moving and sweet and just really lovely. I resisted reading it for a long time because of the animal protagonist thing. I wish I hadn't waited because it really is a beautiful read.

It was hard to stick to just ten. There were a number of others I thought about including, but I finally decided on these ten (after changing my mind at least that many times).

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Kami!

I know you do! And your enthusiasm for classics always makes me think I need to explore them more widely. Just because one classic bores me to tears doesn't mean they all will!

Ha ha. I think 1957 qualifies as The Good Old Days. Yes?

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Marianne!

Always my pleasure. Maybe classics aren't for everyone. I always insisted in our book club that we read at least one every year and while some didn't enjoy all of them, I think they were happy we did.

Ha ha. That's why I widened the timeline on my list a bit :) I couldn't NOT include HP when it's the first thing that came to mind when I saw this prompt!

Thanks for popping by, Emily!

As always with these lists, as soon as I started hopping around reading others' choices, I was like, "Doh! How did I forget about THAT one?" LOL.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Deanna!

I actually had THE STAND on the first draft of this post, but since I haven't read it and because I feel like The Shining is more well known because of the iconic movie, I did THE SHINING instead. I probably just should have put them both on there!

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Kay!

Same. They're all favorites of mine. Very memorable series.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Lark!

It was the first thing that came to my mind when I saw this prompt. I couldn't NOT have it on my list! As a matter of fact, HP shows up on most of my lists in some form or another.

Thanks for stopping in, Maya!

Yes, I agree. It's an interesting question and one that, I think, changes a bit over time.

Thanks for popping by, FangirlFlax!

Agreed. If these books are so beloved, that seems to be a sure sign that they are classic material!

I've been meaning to read THE BOYS IN THE BOAT since it came out. Once I bought a copy, I just seem to have forgotten about it. I need to read it already.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Helen!

Aw, thanks! There were other titles I debated putting on my list, but I finally decided to stop overthinking and just go with my instincts. Glad I hit the mark.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Suzanne!

Oh, good! I hope you like it. I look forward to reading your review.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Wendy!

You haven't? It's a really sweet middle grade novel that's very popular here in the U.S. They even made a movie out of it, although I haven't seen it. Applegate writes great children's books.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Cath!

I feel like THE BOOK THIEF is already a classic. It's well-deserved as it's a lovely book all around.

Thanks for stopping in, Lady in Read!

Same. It's a great book and one that appeals even to people (like me) who don't really like animal stories.

Thanks for popping by, AJ!

Yeah, those were the first few that came to my mind when I saw this topic!

Thanks for stopping in, Ash!

It's definitely tough to put your finger on exactly what makes a book endure through the ages. There are plenty of classics out there whose allure I don't understand AT ALL. It will be interesting to see what's still being widely read 20, 50, 75 years from now...
