ArmchairBEA: Top 10 books that EVERYONE should read

Design credit: Emily of Emily's Reading Room

Today, Armchair BEA doesn't really have a set topic.  Today is giveaway day, but I don't have anything to give away.  I clean off my shelves and either take books to my classroom or give to my friend's children.

But, the discussion topic is literature.  And they said to "be creative", so I decided to make a Top 10 list of books that are hands down, my absolute favorite books.  Aka books that I would press on you in a bookstore.  Yes, they are mostly children's books, but hey, it's a childrens/YA book blog.
