(PS: a little side note, I'm taking a few days break because I'm taking my nursing license exam Wednesday morning and I need to study! I'll be back after though with reviews of The Forest of Hands and Teeth and Under the Never Sky!)
I still really need to read Stephanie Perkins' books; I've been hearing so many good things about them! Here's my TTT: http://aliceinreaderland.wordpress.com/2012/11/12/top-ten-books-id-want-on-a-deserted-island/

Recently a friend berated me for not having read Wuthering Heights so I'm feeling like I should have added that to my list. Jane Eyre would hit the spot for me, definitely.

nice list. feel free to checkout my TTT
ReplyDeleteAgree with Harry Potter and Rebecca. Mine is here.
ReplyDeleteGreatness. I cheated with series too. Harry Potter is a must. Perkins was on my list to cheer me up. You picked my favorite 2 classics. Gone With the Wind would be perfect..."tomorrow is another day"

Harry Potter! Every list I've seen so far has Harry Potter on it and who can live on a deserted Island without this series? And Jane Eyre is also a great book.

Nice picks! Rebecca is one of my favorite gothic novels! <33
ReplyDeleteLove Stephanie Perkins!! Can't wait til she writes another book!!! You have a well rounded list going on!
