1. REBECCA! (aka WhyMermaids <3): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCd9B...
2. I've only read Pride and Prejudice, so... that one!
3. Because I really need to read more Austen, and this is my kick in the butt to do so! Also, Morgan and I talked about doing a buddy read of it, and it kind of escalated when it seemed like a lot of people might be interested.
4. HARRY POTTER.
5. I have such difficulty figuring this out... Jon Snow? The Weasley twins? ANYONE from Harry Potter (except Slytherins, minus Draco)? Gilbert Blythe? Come back to me.
6. I'm not sure... I don't really read a lot of lesser-known books (I need to work on that)...
7. Anne and Gilbert (Anne of Green Gables), and Ron and Hermione (duh!)
8. Red Rising, Gatsby, Ready Player One
9. LUNA.
10. I used to write nametags for the Price is Right :)
I can't wait to read Emma with you, it's going to be fun! <3

4. Sense + Sensibility: Since everyone is saying Harry Potter, I think I'll break the mold and say The Princess Bride by William Goldman, those books are just sublime and should be talked about more.
