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. Make sure you let your friends know you’ve tagged them!

Tagged by Bee

(List is in no particular order)

1. The comeback season - Jennifer E Smith. I always knew that this book was going to stay with me (if not forever) then at least for the next 5-10 years. It's moving and it's not about falling in love. It's not about love at all and that's what I love about it because it's all about learning how to love the things you used to again. And it shows that just because it didn't work out last time doesn't mean that it won't the next time you try it.

2. How to say goodbye in robot - Natalie Strandiford. One of my all time favourite books and I know without a doubt that I'll still read it when I'm old and grey. It's such a touching story about these two teenagers who learn to take every opportunity that life gives them. I love that it's so unique in the fact that their relationship means too much to both of them/is so much more than what it seems that they can't put a label on it.

3. The picture of Dorian - Oscar Wilde. I've never been much of a classic novel person but I LOVED this one. It is a bit dark but I loved the whole concept of it but what really stood out to me was type of language that was used to write it. There are all of these beautiful, lyrical descriptions and thoughts that really make you think about the themes. It's a brilliant read.

4. The big over easy - Jasper Fforde. Amazing novel that kickstarted my love of fairytales and myths all over again. It puts original characters with characters from myths and nursey rhymes and it's an absolute joy to read. I'd never leave town without a copy.

5. Harry Potter series - JK Rowling. It's opened a whole new world to me and I have to credit this series for teaching me that imagination is limitless. The only boundaries are the ones that you put in place. It taught me to dream bigger and to always have hope even if it feels like all is lost.

7. Mistborn trilogy - Brandon Sanderson. Hands down the best series I have ever read. I love the world he's created and most importantly I loved his characters that narrated the story. They're quite thick books and he does go into a bit of detail about the politics behind the war between the houses/families but the way Sanderson wrote it means that it isn't boring.SUPER GOOD SERIES

8.Vampire Academy series - Richelle Mead. I just love this series. I am so attached to the characters that it is probably really unhealthy but I don't care. I feel in love with these characters and I wanted to see them happy. This will always be one of my favourites.

9. Jinx - Meg Cabot. This is pretty much a standard YA romance novel, pretty predictable etc.. but it's the first Meg Cabot book I read after the princess diaries and I love it because I know that it's sweet and has a happy ending. I've read it many times when I feel like I don't have enough energy to concentrate because it's very easy to follow and it's short compared to others.

10. Heather Wells series - Meg Cabot. I loved that this series combined good romance with solving mysteries because it was putting two of my favourite things together. I loved that it takes a while for the romance to actually happen because then you see them trying to deny it and pretending that everything's fine and I really liked this. Also I just loved the main character.

Now.

this is so ridiculously hard. At this point in time, I'm going to say America. But it changes all the time, depends on a lot of things

possibly taylor swift now that that's happening, i think maybe just general the year being over, as in that period of time after exams.

oh this one's hard too. I don't know, i'm not sure if I have done anything i'm particularly proud of. i really don't know. UI'm proud of myself for choosing such awesome friends

6) If you could restart your life from the very beginning, would you? Why?

Nope, you know my reasoning behind "would you repeat that part of your life' question, but it depends, would i keep these memories and experiences? No, i like my life and i'm happy

Water

There's way to many to pick a best moment, so I'll go with one of my favourites. I have one of lying in front of a heater on a winter's night, reading a book, with my cat lying next to me, and eating cookie dough, that one's pretty good

10) Do you wish you had a/another sibling? What age/gender?

Stealing questions from my diary are we? I think I would. I want to say a boy, cos I've only got a sister, but I wouldn't mind if it was a girl too. And I don't know about age, I like being the youngest, but then having a younger sibling could be nice too. In short, yes and i don't know.
