The Well Read Kitty tagged me to name 15 books that will always stick with me!

The rules are simple: Don’t take too long to think about it, just list 15 books you’ve read that will always stick with you. They should be the first 15 you can recall in no more than 15 minutes. Then tag 15 friends – or be like me and ask people to leave a comment with their books or write their own 15 books post and link back here!

So here’s mine:

  1. A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle
  2. Nation by Terry Pratchett
  3. Guards Guards by Terry Pratchett
  4. When We Were Orphans by Kazuo Ishiguro
  5. Ghostwritten by David Mitchell
  6. The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood
  7. The Blind Assassin by Margaret Atwood
  8. The Soul of a New Machine by Tracy Kidder
  9. The Time Traveller’s Wife by Audrey Niffenegger
  10. Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke
  11. Vanity Fair by Thackeray
  12. Lolita by Nabokov
  13. The Book Thief by Marcus Zusak
  14. Towards Another Summer by Janet Frame
  15. Under the Skin by Michel Faber

So consider yourselves tagged and let us know your 15…
