My favorite book of all time - Watership Down by Richard Adams. YA high fantasy, with a realistic heroine. Even being able to see the problems (and there were many, including useless prologues and diary-style format) I absolutely LOVED those books. The only mandatory criteria: the book must be at least 5 years old.įirst off, the Terrier/Bloodhound/Mastiff (Bekah Cooper) series by Tamora Pierce.

As much as we like New and Shiny books, sometimes we feel that conversation in these posts don’t flow as easily – possibly because most people have yet to read New and Shiny. Every post has sparked conversation – the type that can only happen when people are sharing love for their favourites. The thing is though, we completely underestimated both how much we’d love doing these post but also how popular they’d become. That was when we decided to turn this into a regular feature.

More and more we began to find relief and comfort by reaching to our TBR Mountain and reading older books. We came up with the idea towards the end of last year, when both of us were feeling not only exhausted from the never-ending inundation of new and shiny but also disappointed with the quality of these often over-hyped books. And now for something completely different!Īt the beginning of this year, we started a new feature called Old School Wednesdays.
