I stole this from my friend Kelli. Don't take too long to think about it. Fifteen books you've read that will always stick with you. First fifteen you can recall in no more than 15 minutes.
My Fifteen books:
1. Book of Mormon-that might sound cliche, but truly no book has changed my life like this one has.
2. Nancy Drew Books-the first series I ever fell in love with as a kindergartner. I wanted to be her when I grew up.
3. Pride and Prejudice-Classic love story very reminiscent of real life and mistaken judgments.
4. The Outsiders-I read this in 9th grade English. A sort of coming of age book where you realize the world isn't all good.
5. Harry Potter Series-Brilliant. Period.
6. Lord of the Rings series-Classic good versus evil.
7. The Miracle of Forgiveness-I am actually not a lost cause. Who knew?
8. Wuthering Heights-loved it. Such complex characters.
9. The Monster at the End of This Book-This is the one that my kids wanted read the most for a whole year.
10. Oh the Places You'll Go-Dr. Seuss classic.
11. The Chronicles of Narnia-Such beautiful writing and very fun. I especially love the last part of the last book.
12. Who Moved My Cheese-very enlightening. Get it. Read it. Work it.
13. Rich Dad, Poor Dad-the reason I am a Capitalist today.
14. The Alchemist-so cool. That's all I can say.
15. The Old Testament-I was a youth Sunday School teacher for a year when we studied this. I was blown away by some of the amazing stories in there. I had never given it much of a chance before.
