Here is this week's Booking Through Thursday question:


I saw this over at Shelley’s, and thought it sounded like a great question for all of you:

“This can be a quick one. Don’t take too long to think about it. Fifteen books you’ve read that will always stick with you. First fifteen you can recall in no more than 15 minutes.”

  1. It by Stephen King
  2. A Morning Like This by Deborah Bedford
  3. Forever by Judy Blume
  4. Are You There God, It's Me Margaret by Judy Blume
