This week’s topic is:
Top Ten Books I’d Quickly Save if my House was Going to be Abducted by Aliens (or any other natural calamity were to occur)
We actually had a wildfire within 100 yards of our house two years ago, when I thought about saving things, particularly books, I knew that I’d be able to replace them. So, for the sake of argument here, I’m going to pretend that I won’t be able to get online and reorder them as soon as the dust settles. Here are my picks:
Sentimental picks
*Scrapbooks-I know I’m cheating a little, because I have more than one, but all of those pictures, and all of that creative effort, I’m bringing them!
“I’m going to need a good laugh/ pick me up after the alien invasion” picks
*Revenge of the Cheerleaders by Janette Rallison
-Janette Rallison is by far my favorite writer for romantic comedies. Her characters are fun and witty, and always make me laugh out-loud and smile.
*The Season by Sarah MacLean
“I can’t imagine never reading this book again” picks
*Die for Me by Amy Plum
“I might be able to glean some survival tips from these” picks
*Divergent by Veronica Roth
*The Host by Stephenie Meyer-aliens, see the relevance here?
I had a very hard time with this list because I was thinking the same thing as you... I could just go out and get new of most of mine. Still, great list! I love Janette Rallison too!

ReplyDeleteI was won over by finding another twenty-something year old YA fan anyway, but then Die For Me caught my attention and I had to go check THAT out. All I can say is: OMGYES New book on my reading list. :)
