Top 10 Books I’d Want On A Deserted Island

This is a fun topic!  It’s really interesting to think about.  Like, how long am I going to be on this deserted island?  Why I am there?  Are we talking reality t.v. show, a Lost-type situation, or am I just randomly there?  I decided to go for a mix of comfort, childhood favorites, and some books I don’t read enough.

1. Harry Potter.  I’d actually be fine with just Harry Potter.  They’re the only books I can read over and over and never get tired of.  It’s my comfort read, so I’d definitely want to have it with me.
2. Princess Diaries by Meg Cabot.  If I’m going to be on a deserted island, I’d want Princess Diaries because they’re so funny!  If I’m going to be on a deserted island, I might as well read something that’s going to make me laugh.
3. Romance novels.  Is it okay to include an entire genre?  I’m not sure, but I’m the one on the island, and if I want romance novels, that’s what I’ll read.  Romance novels and deserted islands seem to go together really well.
4. Anna And The French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins.  I’m not done with this one, but based on what I’ve heard, it’s cute, it’s fun, and it’ll be a nice distraction.
5. The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern.  This is an amazing book, and I love how enchanting and dreamlike it is.  It’s definitely one I’d want to have with me.  It would be such a good way to escape island life and go to the circus.
6. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins.  The Hunger Games is easily one of my favorites, so why not bring it with me?
7. Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte.  I haven’t read this one in forever, so I’d probably read it more if I had it with me.  Plus, if I have to bring a book by one of the Bronte sisters, I’d go with this one.  Although Wuthering Heights would be useful if I needed to build a fire…
8. Pride And Prejudice by Jane Austen.  Another one I need to re-read, but it is one of my favorites and what better way to revisit Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy then by bringing it with me?
9. The Six Wives Of Henry VIII by Alison Weir.  This one is my favorite of the 3 books I’ve read about his multitude of wives.  Plus, it’s long, so it would keep me occupied for a while.  Especially if I decide to highlight and take notes in it.
10. Island Of The Blue Dolphins by Scott O’Dell.  For some reason, this book seems to fit.  Why not read a childhood favorite about a girl surviving on an island alone?
