-- Talk about the books that you feel differently about after you've had time to think about them or re-read them. These are books that you gave a low rating, and then thought about it or re-read it and ended up loving. Or a book that you loved when you first read it, but after you've thought about it or you've gotten older, you see how many problems it had.
- Twilight, Stephenie Meyer - Like so many people I read it and loved it, I was a little before the curve and was then put off when it ended up being this big deal. It now has a very sentimental place in my heart I will admit that it is flawed but I love it for what it is. Its a great gateway novel to YA, Vampire novels, or if your older Vampire Romance leading to their own full geners
- Memoirs of a Giesha, Arthur Golden - I read it in grade 10 and I was so unhappy with the reading list and the way that the whole class was set up. I hated every page of every book I read there, including this one. But it stayed with me and after a re-read I have to say it didn't jump to the top of my favourites list but its a good read.
- The Lord of the Rings, JRR Tolkein - I tried to read it innumerable times and its wordy, long and tedious. I couldn't find a plot line or story. I had no sense of time, the characters where confusing who was who and what they were ect. Finally I got the general idea of what the whole plot was (I haven't seen the movies but I know what its about) and then I got the three novels on audiobook. I now love these books and plan on rereading them over and over (on audiobook maybe in print one day).
- Odd Thomas - I didn't like the style, tone, rhythm of the writing when I first read them. But they were a recommendation and I felt like I should read at least the first three books before passing judgement on one of my friends favourite series. From the third novel on the books just keep getting better and better. How much I enjoyed 3&4 totally changed how I thought about 1&2. I think if I reread them I will like the books better now.
- Hunger Games, Suzanne Collins & If I Stay, Gayle Forman & Ruby Red, Kerstin Geir - There are so many new YA's that I loved, they were amazing books, great worlds. And then they added more novels and they brought the first books down from a 4/5 stars to 2/3.
-- These are your favorite authors who you want to write another book but haven't yet. Or they are writing something, but no title or synopsis has been released and it isn't coming out until 2018. Try to keep this to authors who haven't announced anything concrete about a new book, not authors that have a highly anticipated release coming out before the end of 2016.
