Hello, Bookworms, I’m not an enormous film enthusiast, but 10 Things About You is a film I will never quit raving about. Is it mainly due to the man, the Greek god, my god Heath Ledger? I guess we may never know…However, to give props where it’s due, the movie would not be a masterpiece without Kat Stratford, the female lead, an absolute beauty of a character. She also happens to be an avid reader, and we all know I had to take note of the books she mentioned immediately. As she happens to be a fellow Aquarius as well, this is another reason I MUST read all these titles, turn myself into Kat..and naturally manifest a man like Health into my life. Simple enough, right?
This list is a compilation of books mentioned and featured in the film, and I think Kat would immensely enjoy a few. I’ve read a few of these, but I will certainly be taking inspiration from the list as a whole.
