RTW -- Books for Eternity
Road Trip Wednesday is a "Blog Carnival," where YA Highway's contributors post a weekly writing- or reading-related question and answer it on our own blogs. You can hop from destination to destination and get everybody's unique take on the topic.
This week's topic:
In the movie "Groundhog Day," Bill Murray has to relive the same day over and over. What books would you pick to read over and over for the rest of your life?
- The entire Harry Potter series. If I had to pick ones in particular, I'd choose Prisoner of Azkaban, Half-Blood Prince, and Deathly Hallows. Because even though I've read them a hundred times since they came out, I could always read them again.
- The entire Immortals series by Tamora Pierce. My two favorites from that series are the first book Wild Magic and the last book Realms of the Gods. That series is made of brilliance and it hasn't lost its magic since I lost track of how many times I'd read the series in middle school. (That book was in my backpack more often in those three years than it was in the library.)
- Guyaholic by Carolyn Mackler. At some point I'm going to need a contemporary with all that fantasy and this book is so true to the teen voice and life that V feels like a real teenager.
- The Last Olympian by Rick Riordan. In my opinion, this is the best book he's ever written.
- The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. Because it's awesome.

I haven't heard of the Immortals series. Must check that out!
And The Book Thief is a stunning book. I could totally read that over and over too.
