Lauren's Top Ten favorite books
1.
Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll
I've read it: Like, one hundred times
Do I own it: Yes, like nine copies
Why I like it: It's funny and nonsensical and it still is able to point out funny things about humanity. Plus, the Cheshire Cat.
2.
Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll
I've read it: Like, fifty times
Do I own it: Yes, about two copies
Why I like it: Same as above. Plus, a talking pudding! Come on! Plus, it makes way less sense than its senior book
3.
A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket
I've read it: Like, three times each
Do I own it: All of them in hardback!
Why I like it: Because they're awesome. 'Nuff said.
4.
Stained Glass by Michael Bedard
I've read it: About two times
Do I own it: Yes, after the first (paperback) copy was ruined, I bought a hardback
Why I like it: It's just...beautiful. The relationship between Charles and Ambriel is mesmorizing...and the memories and details just draw me in and never let go.
5.
The Abhorsen Trilogy by Garth Nix
I've read it: Once each
Do I own it: Yes, but only the last book
Why I like it: It's one of the few fantasy/magic books I like. It's not just about saving the world...it's about Sabriel sacrificing her father, and then Lireal, taking Sabriel's place and losing one of her closest friends...it's about struggling to do the righ thing. It's enchanting.
6.
The Year of Secret Assignments by Jaclyn Moriarty
I've read it: Once
Do I own it: No
Why I like it: It's hilarious and completely honest about teen life. Also, one of the main characters is named Lydia, a name I want.
7.
The Angel Factory by Terence Blacker
I've read it: Once
Do I own it: Yes
Why I like it: It's one of the few (ok, the only) sci-fi books I like. It's really cool. Also, Gippy is in it. And they're all British! Yay accents and lingo!
8.
The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux
I've read it: Once
Do I own it: Yes
Why I like it: Well, it's actually very, very full of details, and also, it's kind of funny. Have you read any of those chapter titles? Plus, I like the movie and musical. Yay Erik!
9.
Maximum Ride by James Patterson
I've read it: Once
Do I own it: Yes
Why I like it: It's kind of like Dark Angel, and I liked that....Max is cool...and it has some romance! Yeah romance!
10.
The Mediator 6 by Meg Cabot
I've read it: Once
Do I own it: Yes
Why do I like it: Well, the Mediator series is one of my favorites of Meg's. But this one is supernatural, ooh, spooky. Plus, ROMANCE between a ghost and a human! Sexy! It's the best ending to a story I think I've ever read.
Hmm. I think I'm out of lists.
