Twenty Books Challenge, Part 2

Hypothetically, you are only able to keep 20 of your books. Only one book per author/series. So what books are you keeping?

I was tagged by @the-forest-library. Thank you! I’m opting to do it in two parts because I wanted the chance to reuse some old photos I’ve taken of the individual books (and tumblr only allows ten pictures per post–booooo!!!). Here are books 11 to 20. You can find the first ten here.

11. Different Seasons by Stephen King - This is a collection of novellas contains an absolute favorite book of mine, The Body. It’s extremely sentimental to me, and I’ve owned this copy since I was in middle school. 

12. A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara - This is just another of the best books I’ve ever read that I need to reread. 

13. Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister by Gregory Maguire - My brother, Robert, gave this to me when I was definitely not old enough to read it. It’s always been a favorite mine, and it’s particularly special to me now because Rob passed away in August.

14. Wintersong by S. Jae-Jones - This is probably my favorite fantasy book. I just love it so much and can’t be without it.

15. Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine - This is one of my absolute favorite fairy tale retellings. It’s such a joy to reread. Plus I’ve had this copy since I was young, so I’m quite attached to it.

16. Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell by Susanna Clarke - This is another of my favorite fantasies. The worldbuilding is spectacular, and it is absolutely worth keeping and rereading.

17. Among Others by Jo Walton - Another wonderful fantasy that I want to reread. What I especially love about it is that it’s a love letter to the fantasy genre, and it includes a bunch of things I love: books, boarding schools, and fairies.

18. The Goose Girl by Shannon Hale - Another of my favorite retellings that I like to go back to periodically.

19. The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien - This is a childhood favorite of mine, but this copy has also been in my family for a few generations. It originally belonged to my mom and my uncle when they were kids, then it went to my brothers, then it went to me. It’s falling apart, but I absolutely would have to keep it!

20. The Brontës by Juliet Barker - This is my favorite work of nonfiction. It is the definitive biography of the Brontës, and there’s just so much information in it! Plus I got my copy at the Brontë Parsonage Museum on my first visit. It has a stamp inside to prove it!
