Summary: If you are unsure which books being published today are worth your time (or if they're worth your time at all)... then this brand new episode of the Read-Aloud Revival podcast- all about some of the best books by living authors- is for you.<br> <br> <br> <br> We're launching season 10 of the Read-Aloud Revival podcast with an episode dedicated to books that I'm confident can stand up with the classics, and that are every bit as good as your old favorites.<br> <br> <br> <br> Over the last few years, I've noticed something rather curious: I hear quite often from those who feel that old books are pretty much always better than new ones.<br> <br> <br> <br> They talk about the literary giants like C.S.
