The Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini

4 Books.

His dark materials by Phillip Pullman

3 books.

A song of ice and fire by George RR Martin.

7 books so far I think but I’m only just reading the fourth still (a feast for crows) so that makes up my ten.

The chimp Paradox had a massive impact on me, and anyone who had issues with emotional reactions should have a read

I love Remember the titans and coach carter as films as they really hit home on unity and how you can be better than someone thinks you can!

Thank you so much for this thread, it's helped me rediscover some of my old favourites! So my list is, in no particular order:

Black Beauty - Anna Sewell

Little Women - Louisa May Alcott

One for the Money - Janet Evanovich

Dracula - Bram Stoker

Twelve Days of Christmas - Trisha Astley

Emma - Jane Austen

The Scarlet Pimpernel - Emma Orczy

I am unashamedly cheating with the next 3 because they are a series of books but I couldn't pick a favourite from the series!

Cosy Cafe series - Debbie Johnson

Inspector Faro series - Alanna Knight

Crowner John Mysteries - Bernard Knight
