This week’s Top Ten Tuesday topic<\/a> from That Artsy Reader Girl asks us to share the Top Ten 21st Century Books I Think Will Become Classics.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The Book Thief<\/em> by Markus Zuzak<\/li>\n
  2. The Graveyard Book<\/em> by Neil Gaiman<\/li>\n
  3. The History of Love<\/em> by Nicole Krauss<\/li>\n
  4. The Hate You Give<\/em> by Angie Thomas<\/li>\n
  5. Where the Mountain Meets the Moon<\/em> by Grace Lin<\/li>\n
  6. Long Way Down<\/em> by Jason Reynolds<\/li>\n
  7. The Namesake<\/em> by Jhumpa Lahiri<\/li>\n
  8. A Monster Calls<\/em> by Patrick Ness<\/li>\n
  9. March<\/em> by John Lewis, Andrew Aydin, and Nate Powell<\/li>\n
  10. A Gentleman in Moscow<\/em> by Amor Towles<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
