Follow Friday

Follow my book blog Friday is a meme hosted by Parajunkie and Alison Can Read.  It is a great chance to discover new blogs- it is one of my favorite memes out there!





Today's Question is:

Q. Talk about the book that most changed or influenced your life (was it a book that turned you from an average to avid reader, did it help you deal with a particularly difficult situation, does it bring you comfort every time you read it?). 

 

 

Man, this is a hard one.  I can think of a few books that this would fit.  The Poisonwood Bible was the first book that made me really angry.  The Lovely Bones was the first book that I think I could say changed me.  The Gemma Doyle Trilogy from Libba Bray introduced me to a world of YA fantasy that I never knew exsisted.  Whew!


So what about you?

    I loved The Poisonwood Bible, you're right, it makes the reader really angry.
