Rules: In a text post, list ten books that have stayed with you in some way. Don’t take but a few minutes, and don’t think too hard — they don’t have to be the “right” or “great” works, just the ones that have touched you. Tag [ten] friends, including me, so I’ll see your list.
before i fall. probably my favorite book if i had to pick. the concept that she was already dead the entire book and had to live out the week that she died is just the greatest thing, because most authors would have the character get some sort of miracle second chance and bring them back to life and shit. i like how raw it is, and how she was only reliving her life to understand why and how she died. it got you connected to the relationships the character had too, and it was a bitch to live with the fact that she still had to leave things that she finally got behind, because she's dead. i just love it okay.
the catastrophic history of you and me. something about the fact that this guy literally broke her heart in half when he broke up with her is just insane to me. obviously i have a thing for reading books where the character is dead, but different authors always have different theories of the afterlife and this one was really interesting. like she was forced to jump off a bridge at the beginning when she first dies, and just yes.
far from you. mysteries yaaas. i love how she was blamed for her best friend's death, and everyone thought that she relapsed after she got clean because the whole murder looked like a drug deal gone bad. and she was like framed and she got put back into rehab because no one believed that she was clean and then she spends the book looking for the killer and i didn't figure out who it was until the end when they revealed it, so it wasn't predictable like some mysteries can be. or maybe i'm just slow idk.
the fault in our stars. do i even have to tell ya'll about what this fucking book did to me
six months later. i devoured this book ok. this girl like wakes up without her memory and no recollection of the past six months of her life. and then she wonders why she feels like she's in love with this one guy because she doesn't even remember falling in love with him but being around him helps her get some of her memories back and then it's just full of suspense, especially at the end when she figures out what happened to her and tries to bust the people who did it. just 10/10 would recommend
bridge to terabithia. this was the first book ever that i had no problem reading more than once. i was in love with it when i was younger and it was also the first book that i was psyched about getting turned into a movie and just yes. this shit really takes me back, especially since i ended up relating to it a lot
stolen. this book was slow as fuck in the beginning which made me kind of eh about it, but the end was pretty good. i wouldn't really call it one of my favorites but it's on here because of how different it is to anything i've really ever read. like the girl gets kidnapped and spends forever trying to get away but then ends up actually falling in love with her kidnapper like
lucid. THIS BOOK WAS THE SHIT OMFG like imagine living someone else's life while you're sleeping and finding out they're a real person and it all actually happened ok
rosebush. awesome mystery about a girl that gets hit by a car and can't remember who hit her. and she slowly gets her memories back but she's in the hospital the whole time. crazy as shit ending
if i stay. JUST READ THIS AND IT KILLED ME INSIDE SO MANY TIMES
