We love Susan Mallery! discussion

If you were told you could only pick and keep 5 books for the rest of your life, which books would make your list & why?

I can't answer that!!!!!!!!! I don't even know where to begin!lol Seriously though I have to give that some thought☺ (Good Question though)

This is something that I'll have to ponder. Might take a few hours or days. LOL. I agree great question

My first two books that I'm pretty sure about are:

- I remember reading this in the 2nd grade. It's the first book I can remember checking out of the library at school. It's also the book that kickstarted my absolute love of reading. In that way, I guess it changed my life.

- This is another book that changed me in some way. It started me thinking about what I wanted to do with my life back when my life didn't involve a family of my own. It's an amazing book. If you haven't read it...plan to.

Still thinking about my other 3! Anyone else having any luck with their list?

Ugh. I can't even say Harry Potter, since there are 7! This is so mean! lol. I have to think about it!

Tegan, I was just thinking that! How can I pick just one of my HP books!hahaha

The ones I know for sure...

The Trouble with Valentines Day by Rachel Gibson I love to re-read that book, and I have to have at least one Rachel Gibson book!

(here Jennifer is putting books that have had a profound affect on her life, and I'm adding romance novels!lol)

I would def have to have a Harry Potter book so maybe
or those are my favorites, I love #7 too, but it makes me cry to much!lol Harry Potter is just one of those series that is a game changer, I still have never read anything like it, or quite as original, or captivating!

This is where the list gets tricky! I keep thinking of all the books I do re-reads of, but I just don't know!!!! Have to think more.

Totally agree with Harry being a game changer! I agree on the 3rd of the 4th. The seventh one is great. Ugh. They're all so amazing! I would sneak the sixth and seventh books, no one will know I have more than five! lol.

I'm still thinking. It's hurting my head and I feel like I'm being mean to my books! I hope they still love me!

Okay, thus far:

I love this book and it's long, so it would last me awhile! haha.

This trilogy is one of my favorites and I could re-read it over and over.

There is something about this book that I absolutely love and I would be really upset if I could never read it again.

Love this book. There's so much going on and I couldn't put it down. I always want to re-read it.

Apparently I have a thing for the first book in trilogies, haha, this is another one. It's great. My favorite out of the three and would be content just read it over and over.

Um...that's my list, for now, it is liable to change! haha.

Okay I have one book so far.



No need to say why. LOL:)

Carolyn, I was sooo going to add that to my list!hahaha I was thinking there is no way I could go without reading One Foot in the Grave ever again!;) So I guess that's book 3 for me....

lol You say that only because you don't know the other 3 I'm debating in my head. I'm having the hardest time choosing between Bones and Barrons. I mean...Chapter 32...holy hell that could get me through a few years on its own. lol But my dear sweet(ha!) Barrons in Dreamfever. Oy. You see my dilemma!

Oh wow, this is a hard one!!

Okay, well first and foremost would be my favorite book growing up, I read it so many times the cover fell off, so S.E. Hinton's

Next would be Kristan Harmel's

Then Kristin Higgan's

And I've got to get my sports love in here somewhere so I'll add

And finally, Kate Angell's .

This was way too hard!!

2. by Rachel Gibson

Okay Carolyn...You Stole my list!LOL seriously that's the only three I have been able to decide on☺ Though to be fair, I think you posted One Foot in the Grave first.

I may have to add it to my list too. lol So much for my well-rounded list!

I've kind of thrown that idea out the window!hahaha

Shell, I thought the same thing when I posted those books... I've been trying to pick one book from my favorite authors.

I think number 4 is


not sure yet, I may have to change that:)

Your cracking me up Carolyn! I was seriously contemplating adding that as my #4!hahaha I'm finind I just can't give away that last two spots very easily though
