Into the Past with Jess C. Scott(The Other Side of Life Blog Tour)

Guest Post by Jess C Scott—Into The Past

BOOK SUMMARY (The Other Side of Life): A thieving duo’s world turns upside down when an Elven rogue uncovers the heinous dealings of a megacorporation.

What books would Jess recommend at 8, 16 and 24 years old?

Tough question, but I’ve tried to narrow the list down (with my own sneaky methods)!

Book Recommendations @ 8 Years Old

1. The Twits, Matilda (any of Roald Dahl’s books for kids)

2. Robin of Sherwood (Michael Morpurgo / beautifully illustrated by Michael Foreman)

3. Tales of King Arthur (James Riordan / I think the Robin Hood and King Arthur legends are timeless, and are a great introduction to the vast world of books and reading)

Book Recommendations @ 16 Years Old

1. Anything by Vivian Vande Velde, and Jane Yolen

2. Classics [Edgar Allan Poe, Oscar Wilde, Shakespeare—whatever suits your fancy :)]

3. Anything/Everything you can get your hands on (magazines, blogs, textbooks, non-fiction books, novels, etc).

Book Recommendations @ 24 years Old (Jess’s current age)

These are books which I think people HAVE to read at least once, in their lives.

1. Anna Karenina (Leo Tolstoy)

2. 1984 (George Orwell)

3. Little Birds by Anais Nin; Lady Chatterley’s Lover by D. H. Lawrence; and/or Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov (mature audience)

Happy reading, and thanks for having me as a guest today!
