Top Ten Tuesday #8: Classic Books

This is a weekly meme hosted by the amazing girls at The Broke and the Bookish.

This week's theme is our favorite classic books.

Personally, we think that classics are frequently overlooked in the realm of YA literature. There are so many books that can be considered classics, but they are formally put in that category. To us, classics are books that can transcend generations and still touch the hearts of readers. So, these are our favorite classics, and even though they may not be generally revered as such, they are the books that are the closest to our hearts.

  3. I decided not to count The Chronicles of Narnia for today's list, but I definitely love those books. I still need to read Emma and I'm very, very slowly working my way through Les Miserables right now!
