Top Ten
Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and Bookish.
This week's question is:
Top Ten
Books That Make You Think (About The World, People, Life, etc.)
A friend
once asked me why I read so much and I answered that reading was pleasure and
entertainment! A way to leave my own life and enter the lives of others! But
does reading for entertainment mean that I only read books that don’t make me
think? No! I often find a book (of any genre) get to me and make me think about
my life, goals and dreams I have, friends I lost along the way and places I
have to visit.
Those ten
books first came to my mind when thinking about my this week's question:
The Year of the Unexpected by
Erica Bauermeister (read my review)
friendship, facing your fear and
doing what you always wanted to do
The To-Do List by Mike Gayle
if you have goals in life start tackling them!
Die for me by Amy Plum (read my review)
it made me realize that I need to give Paris a second chance. I visited it once
and didn’t like it but I’m willing to change my mind.
Amy & Roger’s Epic Detour by Morgan Matson (read my review)
Roadtrip!!!! My favourite kind of
holiday and that I need to do some more.
Teacher, Teacher by Jack Sheffield
It reminded me never to forget why I am studying to become a
teacher and that it is one of the most rewarding jobs in the world.
My Life in France by Julia Child
I sometimes
forget how much I like to cook and how great, rewarding and plain awesome cooking
and creating can be.
The Friendship Bread by Darien Gee (read my review)
loosing loved ones and the hard way of a mother
recovering with the help of wonderful friends. It sounds extremely sad but
it wasn’t. It just leaves you with a warm and happy feeling.
Those Faraday Girls by Monica McInerney (read the author interview with her)
a family novel that just
left me with a feeling I still cannot describe (a year after I read it)
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
never judge someone by the first impression
each and every Italy based novel I read
made me think of the country I love so much it always
hurts when I’m leaving it
Oh, I have to try Paris, but I'm actually a little scared I won't like it either and then I'll be hugely disappointed!
ReplyDeleteP&P!!!! My favorite book ever. For some reason I didn't add it to my list. I was probably thinking I shouldn't have P&P in every list I create. I love that book so much. It might be time for a re-read.
