This is a meme hosted every Friday by Parajunkee, where book bloggers answer a question each week and check out how others answered it. It's a cool way for bloggers and viewers to connect and learn more about each other!
Question: What book do you think everyone should read? If you could gift the entire population with one book?
Answer: This one is so hard! It really depends on who the reader is, because I wouldn't gift a YA book to my mom and I wouldn't gift a historical romance to my sister, no matter how awesome I think the book is. So here are some categories for the different types of readers:
Paranormal YA Readers
Classic Readers
Contemporary YA Readers
Romance Readers
And those are the books I would make those kind of readers read! It was really hard picking just one in each genre because there are so many good books out there! What did you guys choose? I'd love to hear, so please share!
Well, Sense and Sensibility is sitting on my shelf, still, and Wuthering Heights is on my to-read list. I haven't read Daemon yet, but I have Half-Blood and Pure on my shelf, waiting for me. Nicholas Sparks on the other hand, I'm not really sure I would enjoy his books since I'm not a fan of love, sweet romances. (The Last Song film made me cry, though LOL)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
MY FF @ Sara In Bookland
That's very true that not everyone has the same tastes, so I like that you have multiple answers. I haven't read any of your picks though, haha. They're all sitting on my to-read list, slowly moving up. I've heard so much about Obsidian I will have to read it sooner as opposed to later.

Forgot to say I was a new follower! :)
DeleteI know what you mean about gifting different books to different people because everyone likes different books. The only one I could think of was Harry Potter, even though I know not everyone would like it. But I do think it has to most to offer to almost everyone. Does that make sense?
ReplyDeleteI love Obsidian, and Anna and the French Kiss! So good :)
I LOVED Obsidian and The Last Song, they are in my top favorite books of all time. :)
ReplyDeleteold follower, P.S I love your blog design :)

I had a difficult time deciding what book everyone would enjoy too I wish I had made categories - how clever!
ReplyDeleteI really like your choices a lot of these books I haven't yet read but totally intend too :)
Nice FF post!!
Great idea splitting it by genre.
ReplyDeleteI love Anna & The French Kiss, it's such a good book. Last Song made me cry but it was great!!! (Have you seen the film? I really liked it)

ReplyDeleteDaphne @ Reading Until Dawn
I Love Obsidian. It is one of my favs. Thanks for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteHahaha! I agree with you. It is difficult to recommend one single book for the WHOLE population, but I love your genre and preference wise classification! *thumbs up* I loved Anna And The French Kiss and The Last Song and the Lux series are cool. I hope to read Wuthering Heights and Sense & Sensibility someday!

ReplyDeleteGlad to see Obsidian on there! I have got to get around to Anna & the French Kiss in the next few months. I've heard great things about Nicholas Sparks, too...I absolutely LOVE the move of A Walk to Remember, and I've got the book version sitting on my shelf. I need to read The Notebook too!
