Top Ten Tuesday: TT Books I'd Want on a Deserted Island

Yay! Another Top Ten Tuesday brought to us by the lovelies at The Broke and the Bookish!! This week's topic is the Top Ten Books I'd Want on a Deserted Island...does this situation involve Jack from Lost?...Or the hot guy on Survivor?...'Cuz then I'm definitely down for turning this into a real life situation...kidding...kinda...Anyways, my choices were based on books I could read over and over again and never get bored with so without further ado, my list is as follows!...

1. Harry Potter 
Um, obviously. I feel as if I do not need to expand on this. It is what is it. And yes, I'm starting off cheating and including an entire series...those who have read know you can't pick just one <3

2. The Book Thief by Markus Zusak 
I could read this book over and over again and honestly never get sick of it. So much subtle humor and poignant thoughts and dialogue. One could spend endless hours analyzing and discussing this book at length. Beautiful and brilliant do not even begin to describe this book to its full justice. 

3. To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee
I love this book. It is so pure and filled with so much right in a story where so much bad happens. This books opens up your eyes to the injustice of a world that isn't too far long ago and I could just devour this book over and over again. 

4. Juliet by Anne Fortier
I love Shakespeare, I love Romeo and Juliet and this novel takes a different look at their story. Switching back between now and then it is just breathtaking and I could get lost in this world anywhere and everywhere.

5. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
I'm cheating again and counting this whole series just like Harry Potter...oh well. As corrupt as Panem is and as brutal as the Arena is I love this story. I need not elaborate because, let's be serious, you've all read it and know the pull of Katniss and Peeta and Gale :)

6. Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
Jane and Mr. Rochester's story is another rabbit hole I could fall down time and time again. She is so strong and noble and he so romantic I would not mind having this book to go back on multiple occasions. And we all know I could read about the dresses and customs of this time constantly and never get sick of it. 

7. A Discover of Witches by Deborah Harkness
Again, as much as I love messed up dystopia and the bloodshed of the Tudors I am a hopeless romantic and I could read about Matthew and Diana all day, every day. *swoon*

8. The Giver by Lois Lowry
I grew up on this book, in a literary sense this book raised me. It taught me how to love reading and stories and dystopia and this book will always hold the most ultimate place in my heart. 

9. Les Miserables by Victor Hugo
Only book I have on my list that I have not read because frankly...I'm gonna have to be on a deserted island in order to have the commitment and time to finish this. I have the highest ambition to read and enjoy this book...but not until everything else on my TBR list is completed. 1500 pages?! I need time because I don't want to be distracted by other shiny books. But I WILL read this...eventually...





10. The Bible

If I'm stranded on a deserted island, chances are my situation is not ideal. I watch Survivor, I've read Lord of the Flies, I was a die-hard fan of Lost, this will not be a vacation so I'm anticipating plenty of praying will be involved as to not end up eaten by the Island's black smoke monster. Bible, you will be go-to...but not until after I finish Les Mis...








Hope you enjoyed! Can't wait 'til next week! TTFN! <3
