Top 5 Wednesdays are hosted by GingerReadsLainey here.
Paranormal: Anna Dressed In Blood by Kendare Blake
This is a gateway book for paranormal books as it is scary yet has excellent characters and a great storyline. Anna is a well-written and believable, if at times conscienceless, ghost.
Fantasy: Maygk by Angie Sage
This is a great gateway book for fantasy because it is just such a fun book that everyone can enjoy without being too complicated. There are a lot of amazing characters and there is at least one character you can relate to, I just really love this book.

Contemporary: The Unexpected Everything by Morgan Matson
I think that this book is a brilliant gateway book for contemporary because it is one of the first I read and now I love to read contemporary books. The plot was different to some other contemporary books I have read and is well written.

Classics: Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery
I love this book and started reading a lot more classics after reading it which is why I think that it is a brilliant gateway book because it isn't as hard to read and understand like some other classics so it is a great way to ease into it. Anne is a very relatable character and she has her imperfections but is still an amazing character.

Dystopian: The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
I love these books and after I read them I started to read as many dystopian books as I could and I think that they were my gateway books into the dystopian genre. The main character is strong and brilliant while still seeming human which is excellently portrayed by the writer.
You can also find us on Goodreads (Ann and Clare) to keep up with what we are reading

I completely agree with you about Magyk, The Hunger Games, and The Unexpected Everything!! Great choices, Ann. I haven't read Ann of Green Gables, but I do own it. Maybe I'll read it sooner now. :) I did my T5W on Gateway books to Contemporaries with darker themes here!
ReplyDeleteI know I love all these books so much. You should definitely read Anne Of Green Gables it is amazing. Thanks for visiting!
DeleteI loved your take on the different genres for your #T5W. I chose dystopian myself, and of course included The Hunger Games. I haven't read your paranormal or fantasy books. Adding to my TBR!

Thanks I just thought it would be more fun as a range or genres not one. Thanks for visiting!
DeleteGateway books is a great concept! I have Magyk on my classroom bookshelf, but not having read it haven't ever "sold" it to students. This will help!
ReplyDeleteYou should definitely "sell" it to your students it is such an amazing book with a great plot and amazing characters! Thanks for visiting!
