I read almost exclusively non fiction and lately, female authors.
My nine books.
I've read several of these more than once.
Others that could have easily made it:
Doppelganger, How Civil Wars Start, Mediocre, Being Mortal, In The Dream House
#MyNineBooks Could have completed many more grids. May have to do one of my 9 favourite cricket books.
#myninebooks though not including anything early modern of course ๐
I love this - and God yes, it was hard. My students asked me just today what my favourite book was and I told them I couldn't possibly narrow it down. Even 9 is impossible. But these are absolute touchstones that I've read at least twice and mostly more.

Cutting down such a list to nine will never be perfect so I tried to do it as quickly as I could off the top of my head.

Agreed.
This was very hard. Still thinking on some of my picks/exclusions that just missed the cut.
Formative years and have stayed with me #myninebooks
Inspired by @staggerlee42.bsky.social to bother my arse and think for a few minutes.
Different list tomorrow etc...
Nine books that have influenced me for decades.

I spent way too long coming up with this, and ask me tomorrow and it'll be half different because nine isn't enough! #myninebooks
In no particular order
#myninebooks #booksky
Nah, I'm going to cheat and add another #myninebooks
Books that I read from ages 10-21 and were impactful, not necessarily in a good way.
Fx. The Demon Lover I read at age 11, first romance book, the heroine is raped & then married her rapist.
Slavery, genocide, rape. Impactful, not nice.
My nine books. But there are SO many more!!

Difficult to choose nine.
I have 574 books on Goodreads, most of them are 'Want to Read'
