Future Classics Book Tag

Tag Tuesday- March 13th, 2018

I have loved reading classics since I was in middle school. They are actually one of the reasons that I went into teaching English, to begin with. I enjoy reading classics and also literary fiction books that I believe could be classics someday.

1) Pick an established classic that you think will still be relevant in the future. 
Obviously, anything Shakespeare because the themes still resonate with us after so many centuries. I know that they will in the future also.


2) Pick a recent book which you feel has gone under the radar, but which you’re confident will be a future classic.
School of Velocity by Eric Beck Rubin-One of my most recent reads that I believe deserves to be considered a classic one day. It holds a lot of great messages and I feel like it will stand the tests of time like many of the other classics out there. A wonderful book that I enjoyed a lot. I have just done a review on it if you would like to check that out. 2018 Reviews Week 9


3) Pick a title that won one of your favorite book prizes recently which you think will still be lauded in 50 years time.
Tell the Wolves I'm Home by Carol Rifka Brunt- It got the Alex Award in 2013 by the YALSA (Young Adult Library Services Association) This is an incredible book that I think should be praised for 50+ years.

4) Pick a recent book you haven’t read yet, but which you think might become a classic based on reputation alone (reviews, responses on GoodReads, booktube recommendations, etc).
The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas- This is one of the most popular books in recent times and I do believe that it will be considered a classic one day.

5) Pick a favorite book that you want to save for your grandchildren (or your friends’ grandchildren) to read in 50 years time.
There are so many books that I would save for my future grandchildren to read. the Harry Potter series by J. K. Rowling,  The Land of Stories series by Chris Colfer, anything by Leigh Bardugo or Laini Taylor, The Discworld series by Terry Pratchett or anything by him, and so many more. That's just to name a few.
