Certain books hold special memories for us- maybe because of nostalgia since they take us back to much simpler periods in our lives and some because they helped us evolve or encouraged us to think from the other perspective.
Some of them for me are:
- Harry Potter- Had so many life lessons without being preachy for a middle schooler- courage, loyalty, friendship, etc.
- A Thousand Splendid Suns- Cried so much in this book. Saw the toll that wars takes on Women's Rights and Freedoms. Was so beautiful to read about the transformation of the women's feelings from being wary and hostile to becoming best of confidantes.
- Secret Seven/ Famous Five- Pure childhood nostalgia. Loved the description of the picnics and food and adventures lol
- Pride and Prejudice/ Wuthering Heights- Self explanatory. What wouldn't I do to be able to experience the feelings for the first time again that Mr. Darcy and Heathcliff evoked in the teenaged me.
- Gone with the Wind- I am struck by my evolving perspective of Scarlett every time I read this book, depending on my phase in life.
What are your books and the reason for it?
