I must just be indecisive, because every single one of these challenges has been hard for me to nail down, so far!
I read a lot. Between reading for classes and reading for pleasure, I've probably read more than the average 19 year old. So, I have a lot of favorites. What I'm going to do for this challenge is make a short list of books that I have really enjoyed, then harp on one for a while.
(I'm a bookworm^^ hehe)
- Harry Potter Series (duh!)
- Twilight Series(guilty!)
- The Truth About Forever by Sarah Dessen
- Along for the Ride by Sarah Dessen
- The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton
- Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
- Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult
- A Countess Below Stairs by Eva Ibbotson
- The Reluctant Heiress by Eva Ibbotson
The Age of Innocence may be a little older, but it is just magical. The book is set in the late 19th century and spans to the 1920s. The detail given and the complicated love story have the power to enamor any serious reader. It really melted my heart. I don't want to spoil the book, but the unresolved issues just tear at me, even a year after the last time I read it! Fun fact about the book: it was the inspiration for Cecily Von Ziegesar's Gossip Girl series (they are good little beach reads with an actual plot and many scandals)! The book is a difficult read, but definitely worth the time!
