Let’s go Booking Through Thursday, shall we?
“This can be a quick one. Don’t take too long to think about it. Fifteen books you’ve read that will always stick with you. First fifteen you can recall in no more than 15 minutes.”
Okay . . . this is tough. I’m not even going to say that these books are necessarily my favorites, but they’re all very unforgettable in their own way — either for what they made me feel, how they made me think, what they changed about me as a reader. Some of them were my first “real” experiences with literature as a young adult . . . some just reawakened my obsession with a great story — and a great literary hero or heroine.
15 books that will stick with me forever
• The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri
• A Year of Wonders by Geraldine Brooks
• Belong To Me by Marisa de los Santos
• The Truth About Forever by Sarah Dessen
• The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
• The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
• Twilight by Stephenie Meyer
• Just Listen by Sarah Dessen
• Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling
• American Pastoral by Philip Roth
• Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer
• Second Helpings by Megan McCafferty
• Interpreter of Maladies by Jhumpa Lahiri
• Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
• Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech

I just finished Love Walked In and didn’t realize it had a sequel in Belong to Me. I will have to put it on the TBR list. Great list by the way, we have a few in common and I have read a good portion of your list.
