Reading in 2016

[scripsi]

My sinuses are still acting up, which is why I have been pretty scarce- I get too headachy with staring into the computer screen. And I’ll probably continue to have a spotty attendance for a while as YY i looming up and I think I need to concentrate on writing fic now. Even if my main fic just need a little polish, I would like to get in a couple of treats too.

But thinking ahead; I’m thinking of doing a special kind of re-read next year. Not all time favourites, though a few of those will be included, but of books that somehow counted. That made me think or act a bit different or see things in another light. Books (or authors or book series) that had an impact. Most of those are books I read in my childhood and teens, which probably isn’t so peculiar. I think it would be interesting for me to re-read them and write a little of why they are so special to me. Hopefully some of you will find it interesting to read too. Or perhaps join in?

Thank you!

I loved both of those as a kid. And cried and cried when I read Goodnight Mr. Tom.

Goodnight Mr. Tom is probably the book that affected me the most during that time and that is still with me even now. I remember I did a book report on it for it school.

I'll think I'll steal your idea and do a few re-reads to next year.

Please do! I'd love to read about them!
