Now for Angeline's picks:

The 5 items I’d take with me to a deserted island would be:

1) A steel knife.

2) Flint, so I could start a fire. See how I did that? I got my steel for the flint in item number 1. #Smooth

3) A compass

4) Rope

5) A jacket because I don’t know what the climate on the island will be like, so it could serve for warmth or shade.

The 5 books I’d take to a deserted island:

1) SAS Survival Handbook, RevisedEdition: For Any Climate, in Any Situation. This book will tell me how to survival basically anywhere. Plus, it has cool pics for medicinal plants and such. #BrillantItem

2) A dictionary/thesaurus combo. I think keeping a sharp association with words would keep me feeling human. Plus, you know I’m gonna survive because I have the SAS guide, and as soon as I get back to society, I’d start writing again and I’d need the vocab intact, yo!

3) Some of you might hate me for this, but I’d have to go with Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer. The Twilight series was really what inspired me to read and start writing. And what I loved most about the series is that when you read it, you’re transported into that world. What better way to pass time, or boredom, or fear than being swept away in a book?

4) The bible. I’m not a religious person, but I do think I’m a spiritual person, and I’d sure have something to tell me I’m not alone. Plus, the bible has TONS of drama in it, people!

5) A book on Astrology and Astronomy. I love the stars and I’m certain I’d spend countless hours on an island staring up at them. I’d like to be able to study them and how they relate to me.
