Chrystal is really making me think here with her new feature! She's asking what 5 books and what 5 items I would bring to a deserted island, and I'm trying hard to be practical but fun. I'm assuming people don't count, otherwise I'd definitely bring my boyfriend and our pets. And I'll leave out a way to get home, because that's too easy. So if I have to go alone with no way back, here's what I would bring!

If I could only bring 5 books to a deserted island, I would bring..

1. Jane Austen - Pride and Prejudice
   I wouldn't ever get sick of this book. Such a fantastic novel!
2. Richelle Mead - Succubus Revealed
   I absolutely adore this series, and this is the final book in the series. I always want to remember how it ends.
3. Judy Blume - Summer Sisters
   It's been a while since I've read this one, but I seriously loved it the first time. I'd read it again over and over.
4. Stephenie Meyer - Twilight
   I know, I know. It's such a great story though. And the first one can stand alone for me.
5. Miranda Kenneally - Catching Jordan
   This one was really awesome. It's one of my fave YA novels ever.

If I could only bring 5 items to a deserted island, I would bring..

1. Food - I would not be good at gathering my own. I'd eat something poisonous or lack the skills to hunt. Ugh.
2. Swiss Army Knife - I think this would be useful for something, right?
3. Sleeping Bag/Tent - I would want somewhere to sleep. This sounds so unappealing, but at least this would be shade from the elements and something warm at night. This way I wouldn't need sunscreen as much, since I tend to burn. BAD.
4. Matches/Lighter - I'd be awful at making a fire without one of these.
5. Rope - Ever see the movie Boondock Saints? You always need rope but you never know why or when you'll need it ;o)

 I'm sure there are better choices, but this is what I came up with. I'd love to bring more stuff, but I'd also love to NOT be on a deserted island alone without my family! Unless it's with a fully-charged nook and extra batteries ;o) Thanks to Chrystal for having me on the blog today!!
