TOP 10 BOOKS I'D HAND TO SOMEONE WHO SAID THEY DIDN'T LIKE TO READ
10
The Lightning Thief played a key role in my love of reading, before I read this, I thought it was impossible for one book to be both funny and serious (boy, was I wrong)! This book is perfect for all your reluctant readers (a pleasant name for boys).
9
Funniest. Character. Period. This book also has a great plot.
8
Me and Earl and the Dying Girl by Jesse Andrews
This book is a blend of comedy and tragedy at it's best. A great read for the older teen crowd (says the 12 year old).
7
Deadly Cool by Gemma Halliday
This hilarious mystery is filled to the brim with suspense (and inappropriate humor).
6
The Accidental Hero by Matt Myklusch
This book is great for Rick Riordan and Brandon Mull fans looking for the next series to start!
5
Divergent by Veronica Roth
This book was like "WHOA" with the action and plot. Loved it!
4
City of Bones by Cassandra Clare
This book transports you into another world, one that is incredibly awesome!
3
Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare
Read the description above, but set in the 19th century.
2
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
This book has it all: action, romance, and rebellion... how can you go wrong with this?

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling
Harry Potter opens a world to so many readers... hopefully it will change these reluctant reader's minds.
About the fifth list I've seen HP and The Hunger Games on. I'm glad we all agree!
ReplyDeleteI recently read Clockwork Angel, and while I liked it, I wasn't completely enraptured. I still want to finish the series, though!
Also, I LOVED Divergent. Good pick!
I love your list, most I've read and agree with, and am now curious of those I haven't. I support anything and everything Cassie Clare, and of course Hunger Games and HP are always great reads. Thanks for putting The Accidental Hero, I've never heard of that series but love Rick Riordan and always want books similar to those.

Hunger Games and Harry Potter are probably both responsible for making a lot of people into readers! Great picks :)
ReplyDeletePercy Jackson is a great pick! The humor should keep most people hooked.

I definitely agree with The Hunger Games! Great choices!

Harry Potter is on almost every list I have seen today.. (mine as well)..
ReplyDeleteThe Hunger Games was not on my list as it is still a TBR for me. Am a new follower as well.
These are really good choices, I agree with you on almost of them.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Could you please comment on this post: http://inabookshelf.wordpress.com/2012/02/07/youll-get-infected/
