Top Ten Tuesday is a meme created by The Broke and the Bookish
This is one hard question, because you know that I would love
to take ALL my books with me! Have you
seen the movie The Day After Tomorrow? You know that part where they burn the books
to survive the increasing freezing temperatures?, well that part makes me
cringe and I told my kids that if something like that happens for real, to
please start burning the furniture and leave my books alone!
Please note that I read a lot of books from the library, so
I don’t own a lot of the books that I’ve read.
Also, I excluded series because I can’t choose between the books in a
series (like how to choose which Harry Potter or VA or Twilight or Hunger Games
or Rot & Ruin or Percy Jackson books I’ll pick!)
1. My Kindle – This
is technically not a book, but I have close to a 100 books in it now and I
would hate to lose them.
2. The Fault in Our
Stars by John Green – I recently finished this book and LOVED it. It is such a beautiful and heart breaking story.
3. The Truth About
Forever by Sarah Dessen - This remains my favorite of her books and I would
be happy re-reading it again and again.
4. The Sky is Everywhere
by Jandy Nelson – Such a beautifully written book!
5. Pride & Prejudice
by Jane Austen – I would probably try to sneak in the movies as well!
6. Willow by Julia
Hoban – I had my doubts when I started reading this book due to the very
serious topic, but it ended up being one of my favorites.
7. Chasing Brooklyn
by Lisa Schroeder – The first book I read in verse and it’s a masterpiece!
8. Romancing Mister
Bridgerton by Julia Quinn – Technically this is a series, but this book
remains by far my favorite. I love Julia
Quinn’s books, but if I had to choose I’ll take Penelope and Colin with me.
9. The Statistical
Probability of Love at First Sight by Jennifer E. Smith – I finished this
one about a month ago and I still go and re-read my favorite parts!
10. Haunting Violet
by Alyxandra Harvey – Where is the sequel???
This book definitely deserves one, it is THAT good.
Wow! I didn’t know
that finding stand-alone books would be this hard! I guess there are too many good series around :)
What is in your Top Ten this week?
Great picks. Most of those I haven't read (head hangs in shame) but I did add my e-reader to my list to rescue.
