Three books and a desert island…
If I were to be stranded on a desert island (and I couldn’t request a boat to get back to mainland again) I would wants books with me so I could sit in the sun.
I ask this question a lot as the varied answers interest me.
I’ve been thinking about the three books I would want to choose. Would I want books I love but have read before or would I risk taking three that I’ve not read but always wanted to?
Which three books would you want with you on a desert island?

I'm Laura. I started Novel Kicks back in 2009 as I wanted a place to discuss books and writing - two loves of my life. As someone who has anxiety, these two things give me, and I am sure countless others, a much needed escape.
There is a monthly book club, writing exercises, prompts, reviews, author interviews, competitions and guest posts. I cover many genres and I hope there is something for everyone.
I grew up by the sea in Dorset and currently live in Poole with my husband, Chris and three cats. I love writing and have a BA (Hons) in Creative Writing from Falmouth University. I am writing my first book. If only I could stop pressing delete. Chris has threatened to stop it from working. Haha.
I have always loved creative writing since I was in first school and would very much like to meet my teacher, Miss Sayers, to say thank you for all the encouragement she gave me then.
When not writing, I love reading, cats, Disney, singing (I can't sing but this doesn't stop me,) and falling into a good TV show or film. If I could step into any fictional world, it would be amongst the characters in ABC's Once Upon a Time.
I love reading many genres and discovering new authors.

I do think the ending of the film was beautifully done. I’ve not actually read Breaking Dawn. x
My top three would be
Twilight – because I’m a sucker for a vampire
It – scariest book I ever read and I could read it again and again.
Breaking Dawn – love the ending.
Helen
War and Peace because I’ve wanted to read it again for years;
Complete T S Eliot – if that’s too many books, so not allowed, Four Quartets – then I can learn more of it;
Can’t decide on the third – would have to be very long, I NEED something to read – and to make me think! Will get back later perhaps
That’s some serious reading. 🙂
Lord of the rings – because its my all time favourite
Game of thrones series – I am cheating as including that as one but it is technically one story well lots of stories in one lol!
Thorn Birds – Another all time favourite, I read it when I am feeling sad
I’ve not read Game of Thrones yet but planning to. x
