Deserted Island Books

Have you ever played that game where you decide what things to take with you if you were going to be on a deserted island? Well at the library tonight, we wanted to pick our all time favorite, can't live without, could read it 1,000 times book. My number one favorite fiction book of all time is (and for those of you that know me personally know that this is a no brainer)

ELLA ENCHANTED by Gail Carson Levine



 I have had the same copy of this book since my mom gave it to me when I was about 10 years old. Since then, I have read it probably a hundred times, and still love it. It is my go to book when I'm sad, happy, or need a reliable good read. If you've never read it, you should. It's the best re imagining of a fairy that that I've ever read!


We also wanted to name our all time favorite non fiction books as well. Mine is a whole series. The first one is called ALL CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL and is written by James Herriot.



My mom gave me these books as well, and I have honestly never enjoyed another non fiction book as much as this series. They are beautifully written and some of what happens to him is so outrageous that it seems like fiction. If you are in the mood to read about the memoirs of a country vet in the 40's this is the read for you!
