Top 10 “Older” Books I Don’t Want People To Forget About

This week, I’m going back in time to talk about “older” books I don’t want people to forget about.  Or as I like to call it, books from my childhood I don’t want to forget about.  Here’s my list!

1. The Babysitters Club by Ann M. Martin.  I loved this series, and it’s nice to see a bunch of 13-year-olds who are still fairly innocent.  It’s such a contrast to a lot of the books out today.
2. The Sweet Valley Universe by Francine Pascal.  This is another I immediately thought of, and honestly, I don’t know why I’m putting it on this list.  But they were a big part of my childhood.
3. Goosebumps by R.L. Stine.  I’m not sure what R.L. Stine is up to these days, but I loved how you didn’t need to read everything in order.  In fact, you could skip books, because it wasn’t one continuous story.
4. The Perks Of Being A Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky.  I haven’t read this one in forever, but it’s on my mind because of the movie.
5. Angus, Thongs, And Full-Frontal Snogging by Louise Rennison.  I remember reading this book, but I don’t remember a lot of it.  Still, I love that it’s just the life of a girl.  I feel like we don’t see enough of that.
6. The Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants by Ann Brasheres.  It’s a book about friendship, which is something that seems pretty rare in YA these days.  Having books about friendship is good.
7. Bridge To Terabithia.  I loved this book in elementary school.  I just love the story, and the friendship between Jess and Lesley and the imaginary world they created.
8. The Princess Diaries by Meg Cabot.  I’ve finally started re-reading this series, and I still love it.  It’s nice to see Mia work through everything in her diary.  Plus, it’s just a fun read.
9. A Tree Grows In Brooklyn by Betty Smith.  I loved this book, and I love how it’s a great coming-of-age story.  I just loved seeing her grow up.  It’s the only one on this list I didn’t read as a kid, and it’s a shame it took me so long to read it.
10. Charlotte’s Web by E.B. White.  I haven’t read this book in forever but I just loved it!  It’s such a good story.

Are there any books you don’t want people to forget about?
