20 Books that Influenced Me: Part 4 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 sixteen through twenty:
Book cover of Hate Inc. by Matt Taibbi Book cover of Halfway Human by Carolyn Ives Gilman Book cover of Catherine the Great: Portrait of a Woman by Robert K. Massie Book cover of Your Money or Your Life by Vicki Robin and Joe Dominguez Book Cover of Back Roads by Tawni O'Dell


The color group is a little more disjointed today, but each cover has a yellow element! I love how every group had some color cohesion. :D

Just remembered Halfway Human is literally how I met you lmao. For a minute there I was living in a world where someone I knew just happened to also love the book by chance XD

Haha yes true, but you're pretty much the only other fan of it I've ever met so it's still pretty amazing. :D

I just did a reread a few months ago actually. I still can't believe she never wrote a sequel! Did you know Magister Gossup appears in her other book, Dark Orbit? I sort of casually ship Gossup with Tedla as an asexual partnership so I was really excited to see him again!
