Someone on Facebook asked me to list the books which have had the most influence on me. I never did list them there as I’m not great at pushing out Facebook posts. Although as a writer I feel I have to spill the beans on some of my life, I remain a rather private person and still feel uncomfortable with some aspects of our lives being lived out in the cyberspace domain. But I’m promising myself I’ll embrace social media far more in the future (mwah, mwah) so here’s my list plus some more recent ones.
Tom’s Midnight Garden – Philippa Pearce
Schindler’s Ark (became the film Schindler’s List)
Lorna Doone – R D Blackmore
Gone Girl – Gillian Flynn
The Help
Does Writers’ and Artists’ Yearbook count?
