15 Books

I stole this from my sister-in-laws blog. 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.

My Fifteen books:

1. Scarlet Letter/Les Miserable -I have probably read these books fifteen times for school assignments. I think they are the all time favorite for High School and College English teachers everywhere (I received by B.S in English). If any of you need a Scarlet Letter/ Les Mes report for your child I have a bunch of Kelli Carver/Booth originals I will be willing to sell.

2. Beauty (Robin Mckinley)- my all time favorite

3. Goodnight Gorilla/Brown Bear, Brown Bear -reminds me of reading to my boys when they were very small.

4. A little boy and his dog Sandy -not really a book, but the stories that were told to me when I was very small.

5. Gone with the wind -Because I read it in fourth grade, and fell in love with all things gone with the wind.

6. Jesus the Christ-Brilliant book. A quote I read from Albert Einstein turned me onto this book, I have to say he was right the book is so thought provoking.

7. Sacajawea -I loved it! I read it while traveling through eastern Europe, every time I see the cover it brings back that experience.

8. Fannie Mae and the Musical Man - The opening scene of this book, the husband puts a speaker behind the toilet of the outhouse and then when the wife goes in to use it, he yells into a microphone attached by a long cord to the speaker, "Hey lady do you mind, we are trying to work down here!" I got a good laugh, I think of that scene whenever I have to use an outhouse.


9. My mother's parenting books (from the seventies) that she gave me after I had Carver. It is a wonder that we all turned out. **one book recommended taking your baby outside in the sun for twenty minutes "each"side.


10. Pride and Prejudice- ....need I say more?

11. Tale of two cities -My favorite Dickens' book.

12. Charm School -One of those "airport" books that stuck with me.

13. Mrs. Mike, Call of the wild, Banner in the Sky, Island of the blue dolphins, where the Lilies bloom, Scarlet Pimpernel -all books I read in elementary or Jr. high Loved them all!!

14. Harry Potter series- Brilliant.

15. Angle of Repose -single handily the novel that I have thought about the most.

16. El Libro De Mormones- because somewhere along the way, I fell in love with the thing.
