I recently read a Substack from Annie at

Changing-pages
in which she wrote about the three books that mean something to her (you can read it here, and do give her a follow if you’re not already, she’s lovely). Inspired by the podcast The Bookshelf, the list includes a book from childhood, one that made her cry, and one that changed her. Given that there are few things in life that I love as much as talking - and writing - about books, I thought that I’d compile my own list, and would love to hear yours too, in the comments below, if you feel so obliged.
