The Books That Matter to Us: Here Are 8 Must-Read Books I Love & Why!

Books have always been one of the greatest joys of my life. The bookshelves in my brain are filled to bursting, but I always manage to find a little more space for new loves. Recently, a Facebook game appeared on my timeline asking for people to share a photo of one book each day for seven days without commenting on them. I was delighted to join in! The hard part was narrowing it to seven – and then not commenting on them! Thankfully, I can comment here. What books matter to you and why?

Yes! I have red and enjoyed all of the books in the series. But The Giver is my absolute favorite (I was really disappointed in the movie though).
