The book that changed my life was The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. I read it in 8th grade after stealing it off of my sisters bookshelf because the title alone had me intrigued. I had no idea what I was getting myself into but the story was just so powerful and emotional. This book made me love reading and now every year I reread it to feel that same love and passion again. I would definitely jump into a fire for this book! 😭❤️

[@khalilahd.]

Lol love this for you! It’s been on my TBR list for the longest and I can’t wait to get to it!

[@SarkoMontaug]

you stole...The Book Thief

[@longashl]

One of my favorites

[@ereading512]

One book (or series, rather) that shaped me is definitely the Percy Jackson series, it sparked my love for mythology, which then ignited my love for history, which I'm now studying and loving it 😊

[@EVELYN-eu9iw]

I relate so much to this comment

[@higher_haze]

Me too!!

[@lenadublin3453]

The Twilight series kicked started my love for readings too. The movies are my comfort movies.

I just LOVE your energy & thank you for the recs! Just added Can’t Hurt Me to my TBR.

[@khalilahd.]

Yay!! Please tell me what you think about it!

Idc what anyone says- Twilight still has such a hold on me 😭 so I completely understand why you’d go feral for the books 😂💛

[@zsadiq8491]

Right on point about The Little Prince. It is also most definitely a yearly reread for me. 😊

[@readingwithrandi]

i’m still obsessed with the twilight movies honestly i never read them but now that i’m back into reading i want to read them and then watch the movies again

Twilight is not worth reading.

It’s so awesome to see The Hot Zone get some love!!!! Richard Preston is one of my favorite nonfiction authors. The Demon in the Freezer, Crisis in the Red Zone, and The Hot Zone are in my top 5 favorite nonfiction books of all time.

[@dianaisa]

Finding Me by actress Viola Davis!!! Please read it! The Audio is best because she narrates it and it just gives it so much more meaning!! This book will always be one of my favorite books!

[@Adamcameralens]

This definitely a fire idea! I agree with you about twilight!

[@readmoreco]

Yes! Toni Morrison is the gold standard - Great list. Also, love the Polar Express too!!

[@Sheyenne_s17]

[@natpiskor]

I sooooo get the Twilight obsession! I was never a Twilight girlie when the series came out and I had almost no knowledge of what it was about, all I knew was that it was some cheesy romance. UNTILL THE PANDEMIC, when I binge watched all the movies with my best friend and I got completely soaked in. Something in my brain just clicked. Now I reread the series every autumn. I’m aware of how bad the acting is and how badly-written the books are but that’s what makes it even more special to me. It’s just a world you can be completely safe and distant from the real world and its worries. It will always have a special place in my heart because it reminds me of a very specific time of my life when these franchise was my only brigde to the people I care about the most and now one of my life goals is visiting Forks❤️

[@izabeelaaa]

this is such a great idea, can’t wait to hear all about your favourite books ❤

[@Adamcameralens]

The book i remember making cry was when we read shilloh in elementary school lol. That series had me in a choke hold

[@dee1661]

With all the wild fires in Canada and Hawaii I was thinking about this. A lot of my friends and family have lost everything… everything… some are still trying to evacuate safely. It’s heartbreaking, and a very real possibility or reality for many people right now. 😭

I think for me it will be 2 series. The first got me through a terrible illness & the 2nd through divorce. First is Jean Auel's Earth's Children series (though not so much the last book). It hit all my buttons with history, love & adventure. I just love these books. And second is Kim Harrison's Hollows series. The main character touches me so deeply. Though in the most literal sense, I would risk my life for this 100+ yrs old poetry book that a man gave to his lover. He painted the pages & it is so gorgeous. I would risk my life for it any day.
