March 2022 Wrap Up and TBR

March 30, 2022March 29, 2022 Andge @ Down the Rabbit Hole

It’s been such a busy month for me. I’ve been getting back outside and busily volunteering at a conference for teenagers (all in a safe manner with COVID precautions).

I’ve had so much fun this month, definitely a breath of fresh air from my normal routine, but it also means that I barely had time or the energy to read.

So this wrap up will be shorter but I hope you enjoy nonetheless!

What did I read this month?

Top Ten Tuesday: 21st Century Books I Feel Will Become Classics

March 28, 2022March 28, 2022 Andge @ Down the Rabbit Hole

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.

I would first like to put a HUGE disclaimer that these are just my opinions, and I’m solely basing them on popularity of the books. I would like to think if a book were to become a classic, it has to have gained enough notoriety to withstand the time factor. It can’t just be a momentary hype. It has to bring audiences back to it over and over again. Or at least know of it and talk about it.

That being said, I don’t necessarily think all of these books are ones I’ve enjoyed as 5-star reads, but they are well known in their genre among a wide audience. They’re not necessarily all literary geniuses but they became popular for a reason, am I right?

I’m always happy to discuss your thoughts on my selection in the comments below.

So let’s begin!

Sci-Fi/Dystopian

The Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins

Propelling Jennifer Lawrence into the mega star she is, it’s hard to forget Katniss and this horrid world she lives in where children are randomly drawn to fight to the death. It’s definitely a series that spark interesting conversations , or even used as English essay analyses which I actually had to do in class.
