Top Ten Books I’ll Never Get Rid Of

This week’s a freebee at Top Ten Tuesday, and I thought I’d make a nod to all of the books that will forever be cluttering my shelves! I know the organizers out there love to tidy and donate and give away books, but I have a dream of someday having a gigantic bookshelf of books that I adore. Here’s ten that contribute to that goal!

Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.

 

1) Poison

c2813_poison_4cc_z

Perhaps my very first favorite book… and one no one else has ever seemed to have heard of!

2) Redeeming Love

11422

Maybe it’s a bit crazy to have this one on the list.. because I haven’t read it yet! But I just know I’ll love it, and I’ll never lose it.

3) The Summoning

2800905

4) The Graveyard Book

2213661

I’ve probably re-read those two books more than any other book I own. I guess there’s something about books you loved as a child.

5) The Scorpio Races

10626594

There were times this book made my heart stop. One of my all-time favorites!

6) The Lunar Chronicles

13206828

My second-favorite series of all time.

7) The Chaos Walking Trilogy

Monsters of Men

My first-favorite series!

8) Future Winds

24871458

I actually own several different copies of this book. One’s signed, and one donated to Save a Bunny!

9) Little Brother

954674

This one was given to me by an ex.. but eh. When you love a book you love a book.

10) Twilight

41865

Would it be uncool to say I loved this book before it was cool? Yes, I know we all hate the hype surrounding it, but I was the first of my friends to have heard of it. My sister’s friend let her borrow it, and I started reading it when she was done, but she had to return it before I was finished. I searched around TIRELESSLY to find it! I put my elementary school librarian through heck so that I could finish this damn book. So it’s earned itself a permanent spot on my bookshelf.

Loving this prompt and looking forward to seeing what everyone else comes up with! Freebee weeks are some of my favorites!

The (not so) Secret Life of a Book Blogger Tag

Hello everyone! I feel like every post I say something like “sorry I haven’t posted in a while” or “life is busy..” etc etc. Aaaaand this post is no exception! I actually have quite a lot to talk about but I can’t seem to find the time to write the posts, or in one case, take the necessary pictures. But I’ve made myself a new goal to post once every three days! (And we’ll see how that goes in three days when life gets busy.) I’ll start with this tag!

I was tagged for the Secret Life of a Book Blogger by Forewords and Bookwords. So let’s get started!

Kindle Kandy Week One!

Kindle Kandy Pinking

Kindle Kandy is a meme hosted by The Book Dame dedicated to discovering all of those books on your shelf that you forgot you had. First reading the idea, I thought “Pfft. That’s for advanced readers and big-time bloggers. There’s no way I’d have a book that I haven’t read unless it was a DNF.” That’s when I remembered that not only have I gone on book-buying binges unlike anything of my younger days, I’ve been to a convention where I bought a ton of books and also got a ton of free books as a result of friends moving or cleaning out their shelves. So yes, I DO have unread books.
