I read 1984, and I also read Wait Till Helen Comes, The BFG, and Eat Pray Love. Eat Pray Love was not on the original list, but it was my mom’s new favorite, replacing My Sister’s Keeper.
So that’s 4 of the 13. 2 of them were children’s books, but if that’s what my friends pick, well, that’s what they pick.
I’m going to ask my sister for an updated choice even though she doesn’t really read. She’s only 15 so maybe she’s read something since I asked over a year ago that she likes better.
It feels good to know exactly what my priorities are and exactly what I need to do.
