Top Ten Tuesday: Books I can’t bear to get rid of

Happy Top Ten Tuesday! Today’s theme is actually books I refuse to let anyone touch, but, quite honestly… that seems a little excessive. I mean, anyone?? Sure, there are some books I wouldn’t lend out to just anyone. There are books I wouldn’t let a small child flip through. But, I mean… I do trust my boyfriend and my mom and a few other relatives enough to share those books with them.

I posted a couple weeks ago about my recent unhaul. So, instead of today’s actual topic, I thought I’d go with books I can’t bear to get rid of.

Starry Eyes by Jenn Bennett

I have a signed copy of Starry Eyes (one of my favorite books!!) that I got from my Uppercase subscription. I’m never getting rid of that.

---

Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret by Judy Blume

I’ve owned this book for at least twenty years. It’s gone through multiple moves and different states. It’s a little beat up at this point, but it’s not going anywhere.

---

Landline by Rainbow Rowell (ARC)

I still can’t believe I have an ARC of one of Rainbow Rowell’s books. She’s so amazing and this one was an easy five stars from me.

---

Running With Lions by Julian Winters

I think this is the only personalized book I own! I met Julian at BookCon last year and he was so, so nice.

---

The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera

This was my favorite book when I was in high school. I have no idea if I’d still like it if I read it now, but there’s so much nostalgia attached to it and I can’t even think about getting rid of it.

---

What If It’s Us by Becky Albertalli & Adam Silvera

We all know that this is one of my favorites, so clearly I have to hang on to it.

---

In the Unlikely Event by Judy Blume (ARC)

Honestly, I was just so floored to end up with an ARC of a Judy Blume book that I don’t think I’d ever be able to get rid of it. This wasn’t my favorite book by her, but… it’s JUDY BLUME.

---

The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger

I’m not sure what it is, but I just can’t imagine ever getting rid of this one.

---

The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath

I’ve owned this book since I was in high school and it’s survived many unhauls.

---

Mr. Popper’s Penguins by Richard Atwater

This is another one that has a lot of nostalgia attached. I’ve had it since I was very, very young and I don’t think I’d be able to ever get rid of it.
