Top 10 Tuesdays
Topic: Top ten books you'd hand to someone who says they don't like to read
This is a hard one because depending on what they might or might not like I would suggest different genres bases on the person. I'm not going to give every non-reader the same list of books, I have to be selective or I will fail.
These are a few books that I have actually suggested to non-readers.
My friend: she read it and is completely obsessed with it and now nothing compares to Twilight. I have tried a few other books but it I have yet to succeed.
For my husband: he finally read bk 1 in the series and it took him 9 months to read. Still working on getting him started on bk 2.
My sister: after with watching Once Upon a Time she has been curious about the original fairytales versions so I have told her to read The Brother's Grimm and Hans Christian Anderson. I'm also giving her some YA (short in length) retold fairytales to read.
A very short list, I know A LOT of readers and I have suggested many books.

Harry Potter got a lot of people reading, that's for sure!
Hey, a short list is a good thing! Ten can be a lot to think of some weeks- usually I manage 6 and have to look over my bookshelves for inspiration.
Harry Potter is definitely something I'd recommend in a heartbeat, but I'm not a huge fan of Twilight. But I do say to someone who has tried my recommendations, but has had no luck, to try Twilight since it's something I wouldn't recommend.
Excellent choices - especially the fairytales! Do you have any recommendations for good YA retold fairytales?
Yay, Harry Potter! And you can never go wrong with fairy tales, great picks.(:
HP is definitely my first pick.
Here is my list in case you're interested: http://storyloverx.blogspot.com/2012/02/top-ten-tuesday.html
Great list - and short is just fine. I agree with your suggestions! :)
I think HP and Twilight got a whole generation of kids to read (and probably lots of parents, too!). Great choices!
