One of the overarching themes of this year’s readathon is to celebrate the 10th anniversary of its founding. As such, the organizers have issued this challenge:
Submit one book recommendation published in each year of the Readathon (2007-2017).
All were five-star reads, unless otherwise noted:
2007: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling
2008: The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman
2009: When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead (4 stars, although I think I should bump it up to 5 in retrospect)
2010: Major Pettigrew’s Last Stand by Helen Simonson (4 stars)
2011: The Night Circus by Emily Morganstern
2012: Endangered by Eliot Schrefer
2013: Two Boys Kissing by David Levithan
2014: The Book of Unknown Americans by Cristina HenrÃquez
2015: Uprooted by Naomi Novik
2016: The Sun Is Also a Star by Nicola Yoon
2017: Word by Word: The Secret Life of Dictionaries by Kory Stamper
Do you have any favorite books from that time period?
