I've always liked to read. Some of the books on this list are not exclusively "girl books". Because I have two younger brothers, I have been in many sword fights, rubber band wars and backyard battles. As a result, I happen to be a fan of quite a few swashbuckling adventures. Well, without further ado, here are 20 books of my favorite books that I think every girl should read.
