Book Meme

Back in the day I used to read a lot. Like 4 books a month. That was good for me, but after a few months, my brain HURT. Now I'm lucky if I can read 1 book a month since I'm so into fanfic.

Anyway...on to the meme.

Taken from kitmerlot1213 and kaige68 and probably others.

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, and the books do not have to be in any certain order.

1. And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie
2. A Cry in the Night by Mary Higgins Clark
3. As Always, Jack by Emma Sweeney
4. Digital Fortress by Dan Brown
5. Deception Point by Dany Brown
6. Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom
7. The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom
8. Devil's Knot by Mara Leveritt
9. A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle
10. Number the Stars by Lois Lowry

Honorable Mentions: I feel I should add Angels & Demons and The Da Vinci Code, both by Dan Brown as well. But the 2 I put in the actual list were the first ones I read by him, but I can't remember which was the actual first that led me to his other books.

Thinking about those, I came up with so many other books that have stayed with me for a number of reasons.

Anne of Green Gables series by L. M. Montgomery
Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling
Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry by Mildred D. Taylor
Percy Jackson and the Olympians series by Rick Riordan
The Kane Chronicles by Rick Riordan
Northen Lights/The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman

I vividly remember the first time I read And Then There Were None! Such an amazing book!

I do too! I was in junior high, I want to say 7th grade, and in the school's library. I think I was in there for some reading program and had to answer questions based on the book I read. It got me hooked on Agatha Christie.
