Rules: In a text post, list 10 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 10 friends, including me, so I’ll see your list. Make sure you let your friends know you’ve tagged them!

yay thanks for tagging me! (btw, epponine, your books list is fantaaasstic!) 

Sherlock Holmes (absolutely amazing.) 

Edgar Allan Poe (haven't read quite all of them- but they are all good) 

The Divine Comedy (still haven't finished, but it's sort of foundational for me) 

The Mortal Instruments (just plain good.) 

Alice in Wonderland (both books--have read these probably twenty times each) 

The Great Gatsby (just flat out good.) 

The Lord of the Rings (base of all nerds)

The series of Unfortunate Events (fantastic writing)

Paradise Lost (poetry and theology. heck yes) 

1. People seem to think I'm only 16 or 18.... I'm 22. I guess this will be a good trait once I get later into my life XD

2. I use to work at Walt Disney World. But not in the parks. That was the only disappointing part.

3. The quickest way to my heart is by giving me chocolate. No, really.

4. I really don't have strong feelings about people playing with my hair. I don't get the "Oh I love when people play with my hair". I don't know. Thank you for taking the time to braid my hair, because I like it when my hair is braided and I barely can braid it myself... but it didn't feel orgasmically good.

5. My parents met doing Opera in Atlanta. Because of this, I'm pretty sure they've been training me musically since the womb.

6. My hair has a mind of it's own. (It does what it wants, Thor). I've stopped trying to make it look uniform and I'm happier for it.

7. I don't like that my room is in a constant state of disarray, but I'm too lazy to do anything about it. Then I feel miserable for being lazy and even worse because it's still a mess.

8. I'm an amazing actress. I've managed to convince everyone where I work that I've never had a bad day, even though every time I'm at work I'm usually having a bad day.

9. I love cosplay! I may not have the time or money to make a whole bunch of costumes like some of the uber professional looking people on the internets do... but I've got a few and I just love going to cons and being in character and meeting up with other people from show/manga/anime and taking a bunch of pictures. Doing things in costume is just so much fun!
