What’s a backlist book released at least 10 years ago that you would love to see gain some popularity again?

I remember when the Graceling series first came out, it was so popular on the book blogs. I mean, how could a story where a girl’s magical gift is killing not be popular?

I’d love to see it do the rounds on booktok/ booksta/ booktube again. It and its companion novels are fantastic.
