I'm participating in the Top Ten Tuesday meme created by The Broke and the Bookish.
This week you will find the top ten books that I wish I could read again, for the first time. I fear that a lot of these are going to be popular around the blogs.
What did you pick?
(clicking on the images below will take you to amazon.com)
The Hunger Games: I'd love to experience this again - without the hype. I think I had a lot of expectations when initially reading this book and it was mostly because of the hype.
Tithe: A Modern Faerie Tale : I just love faerie books and this was my first proper introduction.
The Iron King : The Iron Fey series is one of my new fave series. It's the same with Hunger Games though, I'd love to re-read it without the hype
Daughter of Smoke and Bone : This book was excellent. So excellent that every time I read it, I want it to be the first time.
Leviathan : I think Scott Westerfeld's smart narration brings a lot to this trilogy. I'd love to experience it for the first time all over again.
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone: The same as Hunger Games, I'd like to read these without the hype
Between : I thought this book was excellent. I'd love to reread it without the hype.
The Name of the Star : I sped through this book in a couple of days and since I read the first 70 or so pages weeks before, I wish I could do it all again
Warped : This book, I don't see it a lot around the internets, but I think it's a good book. If I could read it all over again for the first time, I'd take it slower than I did initially.
Witch Song : This was an excellent fantasy novel.
I've only read three of the books on your list, two of which made my list this week (Harry Potter & The Hunger Games). But I'm now really curious about the other books and definitely have to add them to my TBR pile :)
ReplyDeleteI've got HP and The Hunger Games on my list as well. I've had Tithe and Between on my tbr list for a while. Good to know they're worth re-reading! Here's my list.
