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 however many friends you want, including me, so I’ll see your list. Make sure you let your friends know you tagged them!

I'm going to start with books I read as a kid and work my way up for the most part. These are books that made me love reading, that introduced me to the type of themes that I love. That helped me grow closer to family. Some gave me a fandom and friends. Some I still read and re-read to this day. Some I haven't picked up in 20+ years. All of them still grace my bookshelves, though.

If you've done this already, feel free to ignore, I'm shite at keeping up with my dash these days.
