7 books, 5 Years.

In my Composition we were assigned a journal entry to take home because we didn't have time in class. This journal entry we were able to choose from three different topics.

Topic #1: What are 7 books that you would take with you on a desert island for the next 5 years.

Topic #2: What is your favorite book from childhood and why?

Topic #3: Discuss a novel that reflects you own life and/ or experiences.

As you've probably already guessed I choose topic number one. Partially because it was the most difficult for me to come up with. Also I am not going to rewrite the journal entry, more like reflect on it.

I absolutely love books and I am definitely a bookworm. So you probably realize how hard it is me to limit my vast library of variety. Okay, maybe not so much variety. Rather authorwise variety. HOWEVER, I was able to limit myself. A tad guilty about it, but it was possible.

1. The Bible
The Bible is a sheer cheat. (There being so many books, as well as stories within one book). Not that it's a bad thing. It would help me stay close to God and isn't that what everyone needs? At least I think that's what everybody needs. Jesus is my Savior. :)

2. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
THEE BEST love story EVER. Definitely my favorite out of all the ones I've read. Mr. Darcy makes the book very enchanting. *sigh* haha. (I'm also currently reading the ZOMBIE version. I definitely have a blog coming you way when that is finished).

3. I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have to Kill You by Ally Carter
Another great love story. Anyone can shout it at any time. *YOU'RE A HOPELESS ROMANTIC!* Thank you man in the back with the courage to call me out! haha. I'm very addicted to them, however, this one is also about spies. What's better than love, danger, and suspense? ...I don't know. I'll let you know when I figure it out.

4. Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer
Yes, I am a Twilighter. The first book got me hooked, however, it was not my favorite. I think there was a lot more happening in Eclipse. Yes, a lot happened in Breaking Dawn, but there was too much. Don't get me wrong I liked Breaking Dawn, it just wasn't my favorite. Form your own opinions, don't take my word for it.

5. The Host by Stephenie Meyer
Okay, okay. This IS a Science Fiction Novel. Shocking right? Sharayah does NOT read SciFi. I will admit it here. I read this book AFTER I read the Twilight Saga. I was hoping for a little romance and I got it. Probably the only reason I continued reading. But it really was a great book.

6. Specials by Scott Westerfield
Your probably realized by now I read book series. It's always good when the story continues. I hate when the story ends in suspense and then is never touched again. Specials was really interesting. Takes place in the future, crazy way to look at it. Very cool book.

7. The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis
This was my favorite out of the three books I read in that series. which is sad because I started the series quite a long time ago. >.<

I know what you're thinking. It seems like she posted the journal entry. But I did NOT! this is totally different from my entry! I went more in depth here. Hope you enjoyed and pick up a book or too. (I am not being paid to tell you this, but they SHOULD!). :D
