“I live in two worlds. One is a world of books…” -Rory Gilmore (Gilmore Girls)

Growing up I was a MAJOR book worm. I honestly preferred reading over most activities as I was pretty introverted and enjoyed the time to myself. I still love reading and try my best to read often but I no longer have the luxury of time that I used to. However, over the years I have read many books of different genres from which stories, characters and lessons have stuck with me. I love the feeling of immersing myself in a different world or learning about something new.

Today I am sharing my 10 favorite books of all time (in no particular order). These books span different reading levels, genres and some I have read more than once. I hope a few of these will resonate with you the way they have for me.

1. East of Eden by John Steinbeck
2. Wild Trees by Richard Preston
3. My Sister’s Keeper by Jodi Picoult
4. The Enough Moment by Don Cheadle & John Prendergast
5. Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy
6. Into the Wild by John Krakauer
7. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by JK Rowling
8. The Golden Spruce by John Vaillant
9. Into Thin Air by John Krakauer
10. The Help by Kathryn Stockett
