Books
can be dangerous. The best ones should be labeled "This could change
your life." ~Helen Exley
Quick! Name three books that changed
your life. Here are mine:
1. Harry
Potter. (This is the book that made my son, who was in first grade at the time,
keep me in his room for hours, reading to him. Time I wouldn’t trade for
anything in the world.)
2. Twilight.
(Don’t laugh. I’ve been a reader my whole life, but this one came at the right
time and made me decide to really, truly try writing a book of my own. Life
changing? YES.)
3. The
Hunger Games. (This is the book that made me feel 100 shades of inadequate as a
writer, but also made me strive harder to be better.)
Bonus: Any books
by Nora Roberts. (Because I’m a romantic sap, who tore through these when my
kids were babies, and these stories made me feel like I had a life outside of
the rocking chair.)
Now it’s your turn. Go!
