4. Nostalgic?
Title: Anne's House of Dreams Author: L.M Montgomery
Why it Makes Me Nostalgic: In this book, Anne is grown up and has her own children, which makes me nostalgic for her childhood and my childhood. I remember reading all the Anne sequels in one go and just sobbing because of how it was that she grew up. I was a melancholy child.
5. Scared?

Why it Makes Me Distressed: There is a scene in this book that is really horrendous and made me need to close it for a minute. Shudder. 9. Confused?
Title: Pale Fire Author: Vladimir Nabokov Why it Makes Me Confused: It is very much a is the narrator crazy/is he lying/is he the victim/is anything in this book real/ IS ANYTHING ANYWHERE REALLY REAL? Confusing.
