The Power of Memorable Books
In this podcast episode, Kendra Adachi shares her 10 most memorable books and reflects on the impact they had on her life. She emphasizes that memorable books are not necessarily the same as favorite books, but rather books that evoke specific memories and feelings. Kendra highlights three books that were formative for her: 'The Secret of the Old Clock' by Carolyn Keene, the first Nancy Drew book that sparked her love for mysteries; 'The Good Earth' by Pearl S. Buck, which opened her eyes to the beauty of literature; and 'till we have faces' by C.S. Lewis, a retelling of the myth of Cupid and Psyche that introduced her to atmospheric dark fantasy.
