100 books meme

[queenlua]

here's a list of 100 books that were formative to me in some way, changed me in some way, etc etc

some books have aged better than others but are still there out of, y'know, honesty

i am probably forgetting so much shit from my childhood lol. alas i am not in front of my childhood bedroom bookshelf so i cannot stare at it to try and remember!

ANYWAY. how many books overlap OR (because this is more interesting than a number): any overlaps we share that are particularly exciting? any books you want to hear me ramble about?

Mattimeo had Queen Warbeak Sparra's death in glorious battle & she was my fave, naturally, because hotheaded bird :p lots of bird battles in that one in general. (Outcast of Redwall was the other one I considered, though I reread it lately and discovered I was SO MAD at the ending that I deadass MADE UP A NEW ONE and FORGOT THE REAL ENDING??? I was so thrilled as a kid to have a ferret as a good guy and... yeah that didn't pan out lol.) You should check out uskglass's list tho; it has Pearls of Lutra :)

Oh fuck Warbeak rules and I had completely forgotten that was a thing that happened. Maybe... A revisit.... I'm doing a lot of kidlit lately anyway, it'd fit right in...

(I was SO angry about Outcast of Redwall even at the time, I remember doubling down on making vermin OCs afterward, bahahaha. And then got even madder in retrospect as a slightly older kid, realizing otters and badgers are also mustelids but we're gonna arbitrarily call every OTHER weasel-shaped guy ontologically evil? When they're all so cool????)
