It's a list of favorite books in week five of the series, on sundays we make lists, a  project designed for fellow list lovers like myself. Get this week's list here.

This week's list is books: what we love to read...what worlds do we love to explore, again and again? I notice my list is filled with stories of strong female protagonists...I'm not much for a damsel in distress story. Nothing against damsels or any distress they might find themselves encountering, of course. 

Here's my list (in no particular order):
 

to kill a mockingbird by harper lee

stardust by neil gaiman

their eyes were watching god by zora neale hurston

anna karenina by leo tolstoy

never let me go by haruko

waiting by ha jin

passing by nella larsen
