Happy Tuesday everyone! Welcome to the Top Ten Tuesday now hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week's topic is Books I’d Want With Me While Stranded On a Deserted Island. I hope all of these books would in some way help me make it through until I was either rescued or managed to save myself. Here we go, in alphabetical order by title:
Be Not Far From Me by Mindy McGinnis
Dry by Neal Shusterman and Jarrod Shusterman
Hatchet (Brian's Saga #1) by Gary Paulsen
The Hunger Games (The Hunger Games #1) by Suzanne Collins
Lord of the Flies by William Golding
My Side of the Mountain (Mountain #1) by Jean Craighead George
Spill Zone (Spill Zone #1) by Scott Westerfeld
This Mortal Coil (This Mortal Coil #1) by Emily Suvada
What would you you want to have if you were stranded on a deserted island? Have you read any of these books? As always, thanks for visiting my blog and perhaps even commenting down below!
Beauty Queens.Ha! No good advice from them. I'd want books I'd like to reread over and over...or super long books. My TTT is off-topic this week. My list
ReplyDeleteThose would be good too! Thanks for sharing, Anne.
DeleteGreat list! Be Not Far From Me made my list this week, too, and Beauty Queens would be such a fun read for a desert island.
ReplyDeleteThanks! There are a lot of great options.
DeleteGreat list! I've only read The Hunger Games, but Life of Pi and The Lord of the Flies are both on the TBR.
ReplyDeleteMy TTT
Thanks! I hope you enjoy them when you get to them.
DeleteLife of Pi might be a little too close to home, lol, but it's such a great book😁
ReplyDeleteExactly!
DeleteGood idea to have survival stories. Here's my list!
ReplyDeleteFor sure! Thanks for sharing, Lectrice.
DeleteWhat a great list! And smart to include Hatchet. You could get a lot of good survival tips from that one. :)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely. Thanks for visiting my blog, Lark.
DeleteI love The Hunger Games so much. Here is my post-https://paigesofbook.blogspot.com/2021/07/top-ten-tuesday-books-id-want-with-me.html.
ReplyDeleteIt was such a great series. Thanks for sharing!
DeleteI’ve read almost all of these! I’d probably bring thick classics to the island. There are so many I want to read, but I’m not motivated to do it.
ReplyDeleteYou would definitely have the time! :)
DeleteHatchet and Hunger Games are great picks! Here is my Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI had The Hunger Games on my list too! I hated Lord of The Flies, it was one of the books we were assigned in school, but I guess you could pick up some survival tips. I've heard really good things about Beauty Queens, I want to check that out at some point. I read Dry last year, I liked the idea for the book but wasn't such a fan of the story itself. I've heard really good things about This Mortal Coil as well, but have been avoiding any virus related stories for obvious reasons!
ReplyDeleteMy TTT: https://jjbookblog.wordpress.com/2021/07/27/top-ten-tuesday-326/
Anything I've watched or read that's been virus or plague related has been a real trip this last year and a half, that's for sure.
DeleteNow Hatchet would definitely be an interesting choice! I loved that one so much growing up. I'm curious if it still holds up.
ReplyDeleteI wonder too!
DeleteAwesome choices! I love that you included Hatchet and My Side of the Mountain -- two of my favorite survival stories! I love Beauty Queens too -- what a perfect "stranded" choice!
ReplyDeleteI loved those two back when I was a kid. Great picks!
DeleteLauren @ Always Me
I've been meaning to try Beauty Queens too!
ReplyDeleteIt's hilarious and I highly recommend it on audiobook. Thanks for coming over.
DeleteHatchet is a fantastic pick! I loved all the books in that series.
ReplyDeleteI only ever read the first one - maybe one of these days I can get back to the rest. :)
DeleteHunger Games and Life of Pi seem like very good options for a marooned reader! :)
ReplyDeleteThat's what I was thinking!
