Meme: Ten Books That Stayed With You
I’ve been tagged by the lovely Eli. Thanks girl!
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.
Seriously don't expect deep literature on this list!
1. Midnight Over Sanctaphrax - Paul Stewart and Chris Riddell (and well the whole Twig saga in this series basically)
2. Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
3. Prophecy of the Gems - Flavia Bujor
4. Crush - Richard Siken (poetry is totally allowed right? because life changer/ruiner right here)
5. To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee
6. Orientalism - Edward W. Said
7. Practical Magic - Alice Hoffman
8. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest - Ken Kesey
9. I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings - Maya Angelou
10. Lord of the Rings - J. R. R. Tolkein
Also shout out to the Alex Rider series by Anthony Horowitz (esp. Point Blanc) and the Alpha Force series by Chris Ryan (esp. Survival) because clearly as a kid I wanted to be part of a spy crew.
