This weeks Top Ten List
Top Ten "Older" Books You Don't Want People To Forget About (you can define older however you wish. Basically just backlisted books you think are great. Basically the point is to share books that could be forgotten about in the midst of all the new releases)
Title:
Roots: The Saga of an American Family Author: Alex Haley
Roots is a very favorite book of mine. I loved reading this book. I also loved the movies.
Title:
Queen Author: Alex Haley
Queen is also a very favorite book of mine. I loved reading this book. I also loved the movies.
Title:
PalominoAuthor: Danielle Steel
I loved reading Palomino. It is my favorite book by Danielle Steel.
Title:
The StandAuthor: Stephen King
The Stand is one of my favorite books. I could and have read it over and over. I loved the movie too. The movie was not as good as the book.
Title:
The Dark Tower Boxed Set Author: Stephen King
I loved The Dark Tower Series. I loved all the characters. Like Roland, Eddie, Jake ect...
Title:
One Past Midnight: The Langoliers (Four Past Midnight)Author: Stephen King
I guess you have already figured out that Stephen King is one of my favorite authors. The Langoliers is also one of my favorite books and movies.
Title:
The Thorn Birds: A NovelAuthor: Title: Colleen McCullough
I read and Watched The Thorn Birds. I really loved both. I have read and watched both more than once.
Title:
A Little PrincessAuthor: Frances Hodgson Burnett
I loved reading and watching A Little Princess. Shirley Temple was a great actress. I have watched most of her movies.
Title:
Dead WorldAuthor: Shaun Jeffrey
I loved reading Dead World because I think that Shaun Jeffrey is another Stephen King. He puts more in his stories than just the plot itself. I think that Shaun and Stephen has more to say than what the story that they are writing are telling us.
Title:
Shatter Me Author: Tahereh Mafi
Shatter Me was one of the best books that I have read.

I included The Thorn Birds on my list, too. I agree with your inclusion of Queen. I thought it was excellent. I've not yet read Roots, but plan to one of these days.
I'm a huge Stephen King fan too, I included Bag of Bones on my list (and it was hard to only list one!). I've heard a lot about Shatter me, but haven't read it yet, I'll have to check it out. My TTT.
I've always meant to get into the Dark Tower series but haven't managed it yet. Actually, the only books of Stephen King's I've read were The Eyes of the Dragon and his book On Writing. Wonder if the DT have audiobooks out yet...
Also, LOVED Shatter Me. Can't wait for the rest of the series.
Love The Little Princess. Check out my TTT.
New follower. Looks like I'm you 100th.

The Dark Tower! I've read The Gunslinger but not the rest of the series. I should!
And also SHATTER ME. Forever.
I really want to read The Dark Tower and Roots and The Stand. Some great picks!
If you like Queen I am sure you will like Roots. I liked Roots more than Queen. I loved both books though. Thanks for stopping by Melissa.
Stephen King has been one of my favorite authors since high school. I have read and own most of his books. Thanks for stopping by Rort.
I love The Little Princess too it is a great book.
Thanks for the follow! Congrats on being my 100th. I have been waiting and waiting to have 100 followers. Thank you!

You should read the rest of the series. They are just as good if not better. Thanks for stopping by Lisa.
