The Vicious Deep Blog Tour: Author's Top Ten Books

Top Ten Books to Read when
Stranded on a Desert Island: If you are
going to be stranded, may as well find something to pass the time. Just make
sure you plan ahead…
#1 would have to be HOW TO
SURVIVE ON A DESERT ISLAND. Because, really, if I don't survive, I won't get to
read
#2-10.
#2 Beauty Queens by Libba Bray,
obvi.
#3 A collection of fairy tales
from around the world.
#4 The Harry Potter series,
because I'll need a little hope to keep me going.
#5 Montana Sky by Nora Roberts.
Don't you roll your eyes at me. Deserted islands get lonely.
#6 Still Life With Woodpecker
by Tom Robbins because every word is beauty.
#7 Lies Beneath by Anne
Greenwood Brown. Partly because I'd like the company of merpeople. Partly
because I'd like to read it before I get stranded. But also because I can't say
I want to get stranded with my own mermaids ;)
#8 Buffy the Vampire Slayer,
season 8 graphic novels. When facing the forces of darkness (strike that),
nature, I'd ask myself, What Would Buffy Do?
#9 The Essential Neruda. Pablo
Neruda was exiled to an island where he fell in love and wrote poetry. Maybe
I'd get the same inspiration.
#10 A blank notebook, to write
my own stories.
