Catcher in the Rye is my favorite book from high school. I've read it several times since then but I like it with an adult's lens too. I finally read Pierce a couple of years ago and her Alanna series is terrific if you like fantasy with a strong heroine. I hope you do pickup one these books, Melissa!

I really should make time for Tamora Pierce though. I LOVED If I Stay by Foreman. I hope you find time to read that one…so good!

I have yet to read Grisham and Ransom Riggs myself, but I plan on picking them both up sometime during my life for sure. Wonderful list, Melissa - I hope you get to these ten soon! :)Keertanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01071392026876644282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-120760076447564855.post-42497454763422132282014-03-04T18:00:43.116-05:002014-03-04T18:00:43.116-05:00See, and so many of those you would LOVE!

Those are the top three you need to pick up NOW (and not necessarily in that order). :)Mary @ BookSwarmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04099395167194720599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-120760076447564855.post-82277488678349909442014-03-04T17:39:22.388-05:002014-03-04T17:39:22.388-05:00Veronica Rossi made my list too!

Plus I just added two authors I was debating about have some of their books already added to my TBR pile. So I hesitate now to add yet another. Maybe once I knock a few TBR books out!<br /><br />I like Nalini's Guild Hunter series but don't really read her other one. And OMG Rachel is a fave author of mine! Hope you decide to try her one day! Her Shifters series rocked! And I loved her Soul Screamers series too!<br /><br /><a href="http://jessica-agreatread.blogspot.com/2014/03/teaser-top-ten-tuesdays.html" rel="nofollow">Here's my Tuesday post</a><br /> <br />Have a <a href="http://jessica-agreatread.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">GREAT</a> day!<br /><br />Old Follower :)<br />Jessica @ a GREAT readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07554254368211246669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-120760076447564855.post-46912334388578395482014-03-04T15:21:15.178-05:002014-03-04T15:21:15.178-05:00I read a lot of Grisham when little, I was weird w...I read a lot of Grisham when little, I was weird when I was 12Blodeueddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03435479623560871881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-120760076447564855.post-43043102555816751042014-03-04T13:27:02.436-05:002014-03-04T13:27:02.436-05:00Tamera Pierce...another author I haven't read ...Tamera Pierce...another author I haven't read (and completely forgot about)!

I've read both of Jennifer E. Smith's books and I own an ARC of The Geography of You and Me. They're fun, light contemporaries.<br /><br />I enjoy John Grisham mysteries though it's been years since I read any.<br /><br />I've also failed to pick up Uglies series. I hope to change that this year. Same with Veronica Rossi.<br /><br />Here's to hoping we pick up at least one author from our lists to read soon.Sanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09297915931078500505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-120760076447564855.post-91298306890202190622014-03-04T11:45:43.144-05:002014-03-04T11:45:43.144-05:00I'm reading the Geography of You and Me.

I really like his work, but it tends to get pushed to the back of my list/pile when deciding what to read. I don't know why, but I should really read his again soon. Great list! <br /><br />Tina @ Pages of Comfort<br /><a href="http://pagesofcomfort.blogspot.com/2014/03/top-ten-tuesday-3414.html" rel="nofollow">My Top Ten</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00758043550220062933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-120760076447564855.post-32017040482123425532014-03-04T10:53:41.380-05:002014-03-04T10:53:41.380-05:00I haven't read any of those authors either but...I haven't read any of those authors either but the only one out of this list that made mine is Veronica Rossi.
