20 Books that Influenced Me: Part 2 of 4

Challenge:

Choose 20 books that have stayed with you or influenced you. One book per day for 20 days, in no particular order. No explanations, no reviews, just covers.

I'm trying to finish this before the end of Three Weeks for Dreamwidth so we're going for 5 books a day for four days.

Books six through ten:

Book cover of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader by C.S. Lewis Book cover of Mrs. Friby and the Rats of NIMH by Robert C O'Brien Book cover of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by JK Rowling Book cover of Little House in the Big Woods by Laura Ingalls Wilder Book cover of The Rifter Book 1 by Ginn Hale


The color scheme continues!

Definitely some favorites of mine in this batch! I had both Little House in the Big Woods and Mrs Frisby and the Rats of NIMH on my list of 100 foundational books. I ended up picking a different Narnia book (The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe), but Dawn Treader was a close contender. I’ve really been enjoying seeing the books people choose and being reminded of books from my childhood.

I also had a really hard time choosing which of the Narnia books to include! I ended up picking Dawn Treader because I really liked Eustace's redemption arc and I think some of the imagery of the book is the most memorable. I'm glad to offer some enjoyable nostalgia with my choices!
