In celebration of my 31st birthday, here are 31 books I've loved over the years that have left a lasting impression and turned me into the reader and person that I currently am.
Ahhh Narnia and Dracula, those are my childhood friends! The Hunger Games defined a generation 💯 The Night Circus is one of my favorite books of all time 💕 I see so many interesting books I haven’t read yet as well. And thanks for the mention!
Aahhh yay a fellow Night Circus fan! I truly get why other people might not have liked it, but honestly the reasons for it being rated low are my own reasons for loving it lmao. Thanks for reading!
Nancy Drew and Dracula were one of the formative books in my teen years of reading, too! Along with Frankenstein, Hamlet and Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde in the mix, I guess these shaped my attachment to all things gothic and dreary haha
(Also, discovering The Wolf of Oren-Yaro and Jade City from you and Ate Shealea definitely changed my tastes in fantasy for the better mwahaha)
I LOVE Narnia and The Golden Compass!!! I actually read both of these side by side when I was younger, and they truly helped me tap in to thinking critically about how the ideas of religious can clash and synthesize (much to the dismay of my very Filipino uber religious parents haha). They’re such good series
