| Favorite books | I couldn't list them all even if I tried. I have way too many. Instead, I'll list my favorite books last year: The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch, The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss, Of Bees and Mist: A Novel by Erick Setiawan, The Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan. And my staples are, The Goblin Market by Christina Rossetti, The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne, The Highwayman by Alfred Noyes. I know two of those are poems, but they have been read and re-read a million times. |
