TGIF (34): Medals All Around

TGIF at GReads is a feature by the fabulous Ginger, who asks us a fun question to answer every week. It's always a joy to be a part of this, and I think everyone certainly should try it out!

In the spirit of the Olympics, which books would you give the gold, silver, and bronze medals to? It can be from any genre, new or old.


There are going to be two separate categories - one for books pre-blog days and one for books post-blog days. It's going to be a mix of genres in general, since I'm a pretty diverse reader, so I hope you guys enjoy my picks!

  2. Yes for Lola! I have to admit I haven't read any of the others (not even that Harry Potter book sadly), but I just finished Lola and the boy next door and it was awesome!

  10. Your choices for gold make me smile-- one of the best HP books and Lola. I haven't read the others, but have been meaning to get to Jellicoe Road one of these days, since I've heard it is great!

  12. The Harry Potter series is still my favorite series of all time, so great choice. I haven't read Lola's story yet (must do it soon!), but I recently read Anna and the French Kiss and it was so sweet! I liked it a lot.

  17. The only book on your lists that I have read is Lola, which I absolutely loved! I think I need to try Jellicoe Road. Everyone loves it, it seems!

  18. Yay for Harry Potter and Lola! And good idea to have two different categories- the more books, the merrier!
