This week's question: WHAT are your favorite back list books going back five to ten years?
My answer:
1. The Outsiders: This book is a classic and it was the first YA book I fell in love with. I still have a copy, and I've probably read it more times than any other book in my collection.
2. City of Bones: This is definitely going to become a classic as far as I'm concerned. I've read it a few times and plan to read it again someday. Jace is such a smartass, but he has a vulnerable side that keeps you from hating him, and Clary is spunky.
3. Harry Potter: This book is one of my all-time favorites. The world-building is incredible. No one can outdo Rowling on that front, and how she keeps all those characters straight, I'll never know.
4. Twilight: I know there are a lot of haters out there, but this book got a lot of people reading and writing. How can that be bad?

Ohhh, The Outsiders! What a great book! I was thinking of putting the HP books on my list too. Following via GFC.
I haven't read The Outsiders but I have heard good things about it. I enjoyed Cassandra Clare's works and of course, Harry Potter. Great picks for this week!

I just recently read City of Bones for the first time. I really liked it. I could see it grabbing a spot on a "classic" list some day. :) Of course, Harry is a given. He's so beloved.

I have yet to read the Outsiders. I hope I get a chance to soon seeing as how I bought the movie and haven't watched that yet either. New GFC Follower!
This Girl Reads Alot F&F
Read HP and Twilight and did enjoy them all. Both are not my usual genres, but read them after they became 'famous' - yes I know! And surprised myself by liking them, in fact have since read a few vampire themed books which I would have never considered before. New follower here :)

You know, I've never actually read the Outsiders. Guess I should get on that, huh? Thanks for stopping by my blog. Happy Friday! ;D
Hello K.C., thank you for stopping by my blog. I haven't read or heard of The Outsiders yet, but I think I might have to check it out soon. This is my first time hearing about this book.
