She signed my book with this cute little stick-figure dragon and the words "Levitas Lives!' a couple years ago and I promptly went and got a tattoo of it. She is one of my favorite people.

I love this 30 favorite books game! Here's mine, in the order I thought of them:
Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens Song of Solomon by Tony Morrison The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood Harry Potter -- all of them, we can count them as 7 lol-- by JK Rowling Carry On by Rainbow Rowell The Chronology of Water by Lydia Yuknavitch The Sirens of Titan by Kurt Vonnegut Slaugherhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert Wild by Cheryl Strayed Salvage the Bones by Jesmyn Ward Orlando by Virginia Woolf In Cold Blood by Truman Capote A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides We Are Never Meeting in Real Life by Samantha Irby Shrill: Notes From a Loud Woman by Lindy West Life of Pi by Yann Martel Columbine by Dave Cullen The Executioner's Song by Norman Mailer Franny and Zooey by JD Salinger Life After Life by Kate Atkinson The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner So... A mix of YA, true crime/mystery, and people enduring deeply disturbing situations, with just enough problematic white male authors sprinkled in there to remind me that I can do better, too!

SHRILL!! I wish I'd remembered this one for my list! How could one book be so funny and so moving? I wonder if the TV show is any good? |

OMG I am so happy - as a child I watched a TV series about a boy in pyjamas trapped in an upstairs room and a girl in the garden and his drawing influening what happened to her. I have scrabbled high and low for the name and here it is - Tom's Secret Garden. Amazing! 40 year old riddle solved - thank you :-)
