Daisy's Picks
1. Roomies by Sara Zarr and Tara Altebrando: So obviously I needed to list this because it's all about reaching out to someone you don't know yet but who will be your roommate and what may be the start to a beautiful friendship. It was also really cute.
2. The International Kissing Club by Ivy Adams: I totally adored this book! It's about 4 friends who all go off on their own adventures, but it's also about the friendship between them. I'm still hoping for a sequel!
3. Sometimes It Happens by Lauren Barnholdt: I adore Lauren Barnholdt's writing and this book is about a friendship gone wrong. I hadn't expected to like it as much as I did, but it was REALLY good!
Jen's Picks
4. All of the Harry Potter books: I don't this one even needs an explanation. Friendship is such an important element to the Harry Potter series!
5. Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein: Seriously one of the best friendship books I have ever read. Maddie and Queenie are BFFs and somehow maintain a close friendship during WWII as they both are off doing brave things.
6. Twenty Boy Summer by Sarah Ockler: Anna and Frankie are best friends who are both grieving over the loss of Matt, Frankie's brother. I loved their friendship so much because they seem so real.
7. Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins: New friends in Paris? Yes please!
8. The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Ann Brashares: Four lifelong best friends separated one summer but they keep their bond by sharing a pair of jeans that they mail to each other.

Julia's Picks
The Lord of the Rings is more than just a friendship story, but at its heart, it’s all about friendship. Frodo and Sam of course, but even among all the members of the Fellowship, friendship is a strong theme.
10. The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton
Oh this book. I loved this book as a preteen. Coming of age and friendship I’d say go hand in hand as main themes of this novel. It didn’t recapture the magic when I read it post teen hood, but it was still a damn good book, and a damn good book about friendships.
Yes to Harry Potter! This list wouldn't be complete without it! :)
ReplyDeleteHarry Potter, The Outsiders, Lord Of The Rings? Awesome picks how could I not have thought to include those ones?!
ReplyDeleteThe Outsiders and The Lord of the Rings are both on my list too!
ReplyDeleteHarry Potter absolutely!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI didn't even think to have Harry Potter listed, but you're totally right! It is all about friendship and loyalty and love! I do also have the Traveling Pants on my list as well, I love that book!
ReplyDeleteI have Code Name Verity on mine too! x) I just...I just...nope. Still crying. I'll probably be crying forever. My TTT!
ReplyDeleteOf course Harry Potter should be on the list. Lord of the Rings too, I can't think of a better friendship than the fellowship.
ReplyDeleteGreat list. I haven't read some of these, so I appreciate the descriptions.
ReplyDeleteSummer Sisters by Judy Blume, A Great and Terrible Beauty series by Libba Bray
ReplyDeleteCode Name Verity was my Number 1 pick. Anna and the French Kiss is a great choice -- I missed that one! I didn't think about classics, but the friendships are what I love most about The Lord of the Rings.
ReplyDeleteCode Name Verity! How did I forget that one? Such a wonderful book about friendship.
ReplyDeleteI chose Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter too. I couldn't decided which one had the better friendships though... they're both so strong in that area. :)
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed this subject. Who wouldn't watn to read about friendship? I am sure I will have fun checking the other bloggers' posts. Thank you very much, everyone.

A few of these made my list too. The Outsiders for sure; such a good book.
ReplyDeleteOh, The Outsiders!! I didn't think of that for my list, and I really should have... Lord of the Rings too! Great picks, and loved this topic. :)
ReplyDeletethat’s a well thought out list. I like the friendship pairs you’ve picked. Kelley at the road goes ever ever on
ReplyDeleteI also picked Harry Potter. Forgot Anna and the French Kiss though!
ReplyDeleteThough I picked a particular Harry Potter book for my list, but I agree--any of them fit this list quite nicely. So many friendships!
ReplyDeleteHuzzah for Harry Potter and LOTR, both of which definitely belong in this category! (Must admit I am not a fan of The Outsiders, but I see why you picked it.)
ReplyDeleteI've got Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings on my list too. :)
ReplyDeleteThose are some great picks! I think LOTR is an amazing choice! I never would have thought of that one.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower! Friendship plays such a huge role in bringing Charlie 'out of himself', especially Sam and Patrick but also their wider circle of good friends. I wish I'd had a Sam and a Patrick in MY life as a teenage wallflower. I still wish I had them, actually! :)
ReplyDeleteI want to join it, but I can't write a blog post with english, my english so bad, sorry. From 10 books, I just read Harry Potter and I agree that their friendship so wonderful :)
