7 Books

I stumbled upon this little meme while checking out The Book Vixen... if you want to participate check out Brianna's post here. I always find something wonderful when I visit The Book Vixen.

Here are the rules: Don't take too long to think about it. Seven books you've read that will always stick with you. First seven you can recall in no more than 15 minutes. 

7 Books

1. Garden Spells by Sarah Addison Allen - I just remember this being such a beautiful story about sisters, magic and love.  I must re-read this again soon.
2. The Kadin by Bertrice Small - I always remember my Mom reading Bertrice Small books and I always wanted to read them, but she said I couldn't until I was older. I now know why - lots of sex scenes. But I really do love these historical romances, especially ones that involved the harems and learning about other cultures.
3. On The Island by Tracey Garvis-Graves - I could not put this book down. It sucked me in from the very first line and didn't let go. Emotionally captivating. (Check out my review here).
4. The Paperbag Princess by Robert Munsch - Oh, how I adored these books.
5. The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery - I had the biggest fascination with this story. I read it as a child, read it in French in school, bought the book as an adult to read again and I loved the cartoon on TV when I was growing up. Such an amazing read. (Read my review here).
6. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone by JK Rowling - yet again another series of books that my Mom got my to read. So glad that I did.
7. Before I Go To Sleep by SJ Watson - I read this recently - still need to review it, but it blew my mind. I couldn't even imaging going through what the heroine lives through. So well written and so hauntingly real.
