Top Ten Books I’d Save If My House Were on Fire
Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and Bookish. Each week features a different topic, and you make a top ten list about it. This week is the Top Ten Books I Would Save If My House Were On Fire.
This is a horrifying thought just the topic! I have hundreds and hundreds of books.
Both my hardcover and my ARC of Sea by Heidi R Kling would definitely need to come – I adore the book and both are signed by Heidi, so naturally I would have to grab them!
My signed Brightly Woven by Alexandra Bracken would be next, since this book is magical.
Then my Katherine Roberts books - some of these are out of print now in the US since I cannot seem to find new copies, so they have to come because they are SO darn lovely.
My Girl Reporter Books by Linda Ellerbee are books I adored as a child, and it makes me so sad to see these are no long made in print, but you can still get them in e-book. I think this series would be another thing I would grab. (And by the way – if you know someone looking for a really good middle grade series if they have an interest in writing or anything THIS is the one. I had to read everything about people who wrote when I was little!!)
I think next I’d grab Catching Jordan by Miranda Kenneally, because I just freakin’ adore this book.
Major Crush by Jennifer Echols because this one is like not sold in paperback anymore, just ebook – I think they’ll probably put it in one of those bind ups, but I like my original copy :)
My Bitterblue by Kristin Cashore ARC, because I think I am going to cherish that book forever.
I think the Harry Potter series is the last thing I would grab. I could easily buy new copies, but my set has so much character and I’ve had them forever!
My first edition British version of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone would be the first book I grabbed!:) Not sure about the rest since I don’t have that many books here (I left my whole collection behind in Norway when I moved here), but pretty much any and all signed copies would have to come with me..:)

I agree I really didn’t like this topic, it horrifies me! I have around 150 signed books that I would completely cry over if I lost.

Character absolutely matters! Most of the books I picked for my list have character and certain experiences and I would be devastated if I lost them.

Yay for Harry Potter! Ooh, and Bitterblue – that one would likely be worth saving, for sure.
Fabulous list :)

I would certainly grab my set of Harry Potter because they are so mix matched with some being paperbacks and others being hardcover. Plus they have my tears soaked through books 5-7 so I need to have my copies because I love them. Even if the spine broke on book three and the pages are darn near falling out!

Only ten! O.o Oh no, I think I’m going to have to sleep with a empty box next to my bookshelf so I can grab as many as possible!

OMG this topic scared me so bad just thinking of what if…Makes me wanna build a walk in fire proof vault just for my library! I could not imagine only being able to save 10 books or 10 sets of books.
