The Iliad and The Odyssey by Homer. Helped me through tough times when I was a kid. But if my husband asks, all of them. It’s totally normal to have hundreds of books everywhere you look! :) And it’s not weird that I carry a multi page list of books I need anytime I leave the house just in case.
The Clergy man’s daughter by George Orwell. I live in England and I can imagine Dorothy ending up like that with a modern twist, such as working in the fields picking potatoes and instead of a school working in a call centre🤣
Lord of the Rings. I also read the first Witcher book as a joke because it’s supposed to be the next “Game of Thrones” or whatever, but now I’m really into it. A childhood favorite is the Artemis Fowl series.
Sorry, I posted this as a reply instead of as an answer. So here it is again:
Shirley Jackson's "Life Among the Savages"
Fannie Flagg's "Daisy Fay and the Miracle Man" (Originally titled "Coming Attractions." A much better title, in my opinion.)
"The Dancers at the End of Time" by Michael Moorcock.
Anything by Robertson Davies but, in particular, The Deptford Trilogy. Such great characters.
The Fallen Star by Jessica Sorensen
Death is my BFF series in Wattpad
Hush Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick
Im not a big reader but a friend gave me paulo coelho‘s „the alchemist“ as a present because in her opinion it would teach me some great life lessons. And it did. It’s easy to read, regardless that the lyrics are sometimes kind of old fashioned, and it’s about being brave and curios about life, about taking chances when they appear and it leaves you with a feeling like „where is my next adventure, I’m ready, I can do it“
Furthermore I like the fact, that Coelho did a great job hiding fundamental understandings of life in an easy to read and entertaining story about a guy, who everyone can identify with easily.
Anything by Ken Follett. Especially the Kingsbridge series.
Mr. Whiskers
It’s a great story about a cat that not only survives but thrives after being hit by a car and losing a limb and the ability to use another.
A childhood favorite about pirates and treasure and a ghost of course. I haven't read it since I was in jr highschool, but I remember it very fondly.
Ghost in the Noonday Sun
Bookworm reporting for duty! I read Frozen Charlotte and it was so good!
