Book Lover
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!
I was tagged by twiceasmuch-intensified!
The Hobbit by J.R.R Tolkien
The Harry Potter Series by J.K Rowling
The Worst Witch by Jill Murphy - The first fictional character I ever identified with was Mildred Hubble
Beyond the Deepwoods by Paul Stewart and Chris Riddell - Childhood favourite that's still on my shelf.
Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson - 1st year English book. I'd never read a book with so many deaths in it before.
Hogfather by Terry Pratchett - The first ever Discworld book I read. I've been hooked ever since.
The Book of Lost Things by John Connolly - I did my 5th year dissertation on this book. Really dark and grusome and full of emotion.
The Lord of the Rings Trilogy by J.R.R Tolkien
Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte - Such a dark, depressing book but I'm strangely fascinated by it.
Carry On, Jeeves by P.G Wodehouse - Never fails to make me smile when i'm feeling down.
My Mum read me The Hobbit when I was young and I vividly remember her doing all the different voices for the scene with the trolls. Since then I have read it over a dozen times and it's my favourite book of all time. My Mum also gave me Fellowship of the Ring to read as soon as she heard it was going to be a movie so I wouldn't be spoiled when we went to see it.
I couldn't choose just one of the Harry Potter books because the series as a whole was pretty much my childhood/early teens. I read the whole Deathly Hallows the day we bought it because I needed to know how it ended.
Thanks for tagging me Jennifer!
