Rebecca Kim Wells:
I love that you write and you also work at an independent bookstore. What books have had the biggest impact on you as a reader or as a writer?
Rebecca Kim Wells
SO MANY. OH MY GOSH.
While there were a lot of books that impacted my growth as a person when I was young, I now gravitate toward books that make my jaw drop as in "I will never create something this amazing as long as I live!" or "This was unbelievably masterful, let me read this again immediately to figure out how."
Below, a small sampling:
- CODE NAME VERITY by Elizabeth Wein
- TESS OF THE ROAD by Rachel Hartman
- SCYTHE by Neal Shusterman
- CONVICTION by Kelly Loy Gilbert
- THE BEST WE COULD DO by Thi Bui
- SPINNING SILVER and UPROOTED by Naomi Novik
- HOW TO WRITE AN AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL ESSAY by Alexander Chee
- FAR FROM YOU by Tess Sharpe
- THE FIFTH SEASON by N. K. Jemisin
- A CROWN OF WISHES by Roshani Chokshi
...I should probably stop at ten.
