Day 78

I always used to get in trouble when I was younger because I always had a book at the table while I ate dinner. My mom tried her best to get rid of that habit, but eventually she must have decided that a kid who loved to read that much was better than any alternative and she left me alone. I tend to re-read books that I adore and feel a deep connection with, so today you get a list of some of those books.

• The Bell Jar, Sylvia Plath
• White Oleander, Janet Fitch
• The Egypt Game, Zilpha Keatley Snyder
• The Firm, John Grisham
• The Name of the Game Was Murder, Joan Lowery Nixon
• Speak, Laurie Halse Anderson
• Catherine, Called Birdy, Karen Cushman
• The Handmaid’s Tale, Margaret Atwood
• All of the Harry Potter books, J.K. Rowling
