A big fat anthology might be best. Some variety. Like having an entire library with you

oh gosh--I remember those from college! That would be perfect. Maybe I'd finally be compelled to finish Moby Dick!

I'd have to go with A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. I love the story, and it would probably give me a needed chill from the gloomy London setting. Great question.

I would probably bring 2 books I’ve read and would read again. The Last One by Will Dean and The Retreat by Sarah Pearse.

Oh, this is a tough one! I think I will bring a number of captivating thrillers, such as The Shadow of The Wind, to distract me from being worried about my unfortunate situation.

These were SO fun! Tessa and Katy immediately added to my TBR, and Greg had my second choice!

It's hard to beat something described as "wild" and "fun" enough to distract from being stranded on a desert island!

Every spy novel ever written. Even if I've read them all, it would be no problem to start at the beginning of each series and read them again.

I can’t think of a more appropriate book than the Bible. An excellent opportunity for me to read it in its entirety which I’ve never done.
