Top Ten Favourite Novels of All-Time



Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and The Bookish. This week is a rewind edition which means we can go back and pick any TTT we wish to do. Since I am too lazy to peruse through old topics I decided to make mine up this week. Here are my top ten books of all-time. 

 1. The Harry Potter Series by JK Rowling- I mean this is a no-brainer. If you are a reader and haven't read these books, it's about time you pick them up :)
2. Alias Grace by  Margaret Atwood- This is a true Canadian icon. Margaret Atwood is my fave!


3. Lullabies for Little Criminals by Heather O'Neill- This is a true gem that many have not read. She is coming out with a new novel this year and I can't wait.
4. The Dress Lodger by Sheri Holman- This is another book that many haven't read but it is great historical fiction. 

 5. The Book of Negroes by Lawrence Hill- This book is a gripping story about slavery. The writing is amazing!
6. Fall on Your Knees by Ann-Marie MacDonald- Another Canadian novel. It's heartbreaking but so well-written.

 7. Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn- What a rollercoaster of twists and turns. Pick this up before the movie comes out.
8. To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee- This book is classic.

 9. The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini- This book is so well written and thought provoking. Set in Afghanistan and follows the lives of two boys into adulthood.
10. The Storyteller by Jodi Picoult- This is Picoult's latest novel and it is unlike anything she has written before. It is about a young woman who meets an old man who confesses to her that he was a Nazi. Did I mention that the young woman is of Jewish descent?


Ok, I couldn't just narrow it down to 10 so here are some honourable menions:




 I'm curious to see what everyone picked as their topics this week.

Happy Reading!

  1. Golden Boy is on my TBR list right now! And--I did really like Gone Girl. That's one that I'll definitely be buying once it comes out in paperback because I know I'll want to read it again! Kite Runner was great as well--a really good book club book.
    Nice list!

  2. The Kite Runner made me cry out of frustration. So sad, and so well written.
