Books have been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. In fact, my earliest memory is of walking to the library all on my lonesome when I was but a wee young thing, so when I saw this post on Pride in Madness I knew I would have to join in.
RULES: In your status update, list 10 books/stories that have had an impact on your life. Don’t take too long on this list – just a few minutes. These don’t have to be acclaimed works or your all-time favourites, just ones that mean something to you personally. Then tag 5 or more of your friends, including me so I can see your list.
01. Quest for a Kelpie (Frances Hendry)
02. Thirteen Reasons Why (Jay Asher)
03. The Hotel New Hampshire (John Irving)
04. Northern Lights: A Poet’s Sources (George Mackay Brown)
05. Memory and Dream (Charles de Lint)
06. Thongs (Alexander Trocchi)
07. Matilda (Roald Dahl)
08. Still Life With Woodpecker (Tom Robbins)
09. The Famous Five (Enid Blyton)
10. The Crow Road (Iain Banks)
I won’t tag people as the rules suggest, instead I shall leave it up to you to decide whether you’d like to join in! :)

I have put my list on Facebook and asked others to take part but I couldn’t get it below 12 books I just didn’t know which two to take out.
Hope your hand heals soon

Dreams Underfoot by Charles de Lint was a good one for me. I like all of his stuff, but that one is special for me.
