Not the best 15 books you’ve ever read, or even ones you’d recommend to others.  Just 15 books that have made their mark on you and will always stick with you, for whatever reason.

Most of these are children’s books or fantasy, but that’s what I dig, and also what sticks with me. Not to mention My Dorothy Gilmans where I learned to love the desert. TO THIS DAY I only want to visit Egypt and Africa because of the desert (okay, Mom & Angel’s childhoods helps too,) but the desert still calls to me.
