Top Ten Tuesday - In Case of Invasion

Top Ten Tuesday is hosted over @ The Broke and the Bookish

This weeks topic is: Top Ten Books I'd Quickly Save If My House Was Going To Be Abducted By Aliens

Well, this is rather timely. I was driving home last night and saw the Northern Lights - of course they weren't very prominent and they were only green, so I couldn't really be sure that they really were the Northern Lights. My thoughts were, they were either that, or I should be rushing home to prepare for an alien invasion. Luckily, they were indeed the Northern Lights. I hope.

But if I were to find out they weren't, these are the ones I would take (probably). 

1. The Demon's Lexicon by Sarah Rees Brennan

Love this book. And I got to meet Sarah Rees Brennan and I love the way she signed it "Tumblr is my fate" - at least that would be a better fate than alien invasion.  


2. Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins

This is a book I'll read over and over again. And it'll always make me feel better. Definitely taking this one with me wherever I go. 


3. Nightshade by Andrea Cremer

Also signed. (After I went a little fangirl of course). And my favorite of the trilogy. 


4. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling

Do I need to explain? Actually, I think I'd cheat and grab 16 books - or consider all 7 Harry Potter books as 1. I can do that, right?


5. The Fault in Our Stars by John Green

I wouldn't go for the copy of the book. I'd go for the limited edition audio book box set in which John Green reads his book. Who knows, if the world was ending, if I'd be able to 
listen to it - but I wouldn't be able to sleep if I left this behind!


6. Scarlet by A.C. Gaughen

I love Robin Hood and classics are always comforting to fall back on. Plus, this retelling is awesome. 


7. Starcrossed by Josephine Angleini

Yeah, not leaving my house without my signed copy of this amazing book.

8. The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Kate DiCamillo

Such an incredible book that I always keep displayed on the top of my bookshelf.

9. Book of Grimm's Fairy Tales in German
 Don't really know what this one is called exactly - but I have a book of fairy tales in German that I brought back from Germany. I love it so much, even though I can't actually read it.

10. The Complete Fairy Tales and Stories of Hans Christian Anderson

This isn't the copy of my book - but I think it's the same book. It get's displayed up there with Kate DiCamillo and I adore it! It's definitely not getting into the clutches of evil aliens.


(These are the books I actually have in my house and would save. There's others that I've already set free into the world, and are safe at a friend's house. I didn't count them here.)
