Top Ten Tuesday – 10 Books I Want to Re-Read

 

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.  Top Ten Tuesday has been one of my favorite memes ever since I started blogging, so huge thanks to Jana for taking over the hosting duties!

This week’s TTT topic is Books I Want to Read Again.  This topic is a little challenging in the sense that I don’t typically re-read many books.  If I was going to re-read though, these titles would be at the top of my list.  I’d mainly be interested in revisiting them to see if I have the same or a greater appreciation of them a second time around or if the magic is gone after a single reading.

    I love to reread! I’ve reread The Night Circus and The Nightingale and they definitely hold up. I’ve read the Narnia series a couple times, too!

    I love rereading books, especially when I feel a reading slump coming and need something familiar to keep me on top of things! I haven’t read Anne Frank in years and I definitely should’ve added that to my list, as well as The Narnia Chronicles, which will definitely take me back to my childhood!

    Flowers in the Attic is one of those books I read when I was probably younger than I should have been. I would be very interested to see what I thought of it these days. I hope you get to reread these soon.

    I am not a re-reader, but if I was, I could never re-read The Nightingale. That book gutted me. I was puddle. I get emotional when I talk about it.

    Re-reading does give a different perspective, doesn’t it? As much as Shakespeare’s plays were not my fave in school, I wonder sometimes what I would think of its now.

    Hi Suzanne, I always re-read books when I’m in a slump. I remember reading Flowers in the Attic when I was a teen at school. (That was before Virginia died) I loved the series but I doubt I’d ever read it now as the teenage angst and “feelings” would frustrate me.
