Tom Hanks had Wilson, I have YA books

I have a serious thing for Misty (The Book Rat), her blog, and most especially her book chats. They are fun, interesting, and DEF. thought-provoking, which is the whole point, OBVS. For one reason or another I haven't been able to participate in Misty's chats - at first, it was nervousness, then it was lack of time. Which really stinks because some of them were amazing topics.

This month, however, I said to heck with all the things and let's do it! So before you lay my vlog chat in which I talk about the five books screaming through my head at the mention of 'stuck on a deserted island.' It was very hard to choose, let me tell you.

The RULES:

*No featuring survival guides and crap like that
*Pick five books (try to think of ones that represent YOU!)

1. Book Choice #1 has to be a favorite read
2. the second has to be something you've never read, but have been meaning to read
3. a childhood favorite
4. a favorite series (and assume that all of them are in a bind-up) or a book that's been recommended to you a lot
5. a freebie, to do with what you wish

The Books:
Scarlet by A. C. Gaughen
Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo
Howl's Moving Castle by Dianna Wynne Jones
Shift by Jeri Smith-Ready
To Catch a Prince by Gillian McKnight
The Nightworld series (#s 1-9) by L. J. Smith
The Sky Is Everywhere by Jandy Nelson

You too can participate in this month's book chat by popping over to The Book Rat and signing up at the provided linky after you make your post! Did you participate? Drop a link so I can stop by!

Don't be shy about leaving comments down below in the comment section to tell me what some of your favorites are, which books you'd risk your life to bring along with you as you crash land onto a remote island! Fun, fun, fun, so LET ME KNOW IT.
