Top 10 Tuesday is a weekly meme, hosted by The Broke and theBookish.
The topic for this weeks 10 Ten Tuesday is books from my
childhood that I would like to reread.
Here is my list in no particular order:
- The Witch at Blackbird Pond by Elizabeth George Speare
This is a book from my childhood that I still pick up and
read every so many years. I’m looking forward to revisiting Kit Tyler’s story
about life in a Puritan Connecticut Colony.
2. Something from
Nothing by Phoebe Gilman
Something from Nothing isn’t a novel but a story book that I
read over and over again as a child. It is an old Jewish story about a boy, his
grandfather and a blanket, with beautiful illustrations from Phoebe Gilman.
3. The Little House
Series by Laura Ingalls Wilder
I know for sure that I read Little House in the Big Woods
(and reread just last year) and Little House on the Prairie, but I can’t
remember for sure if I completed the series. Either way I would like to read
and re-read them all again.
4. Booky: A Trilogy
One of my all- time favourite books about a young girl
growing up during the Great Depression in Toronto. Over the years my original copy got lost, so I
was really excited when I found it in a library book sale a while back.
5. The Guests of War
Trilogy by Kit Pearson
Another one of my favourite set in Toronto. However this one
takes place during WWII. I also re-read this book every couple of years.
6. The Anne of Green
Gables Series by LM Montgomery
I am only missing 2 books from this collection: Book #7
Rainbow Valley and #9 The Road to Yesterday.
7. Love You Forever by
Robert Munsch
Again another storybook, not novel but my list wouldn’t be
complete without it. Love you Forever is one of the most beautiful books I have
ever read. I can’t wait to be able to read it to my children someday.
8. Heidi by Johanna
Spyri
A wonderful classic.
9. The Princess Diaries
Series by Meg Cabot
This is a YA series but one that I would say really kick
started my love for reading. I own the whole series with the exception of the
newest book that has yet to be released. Whenever a new book would come out I’d
re-read the entire series all over again.
10. The Castle in the
Attic by Elizabeth Winthrop
I can’t say I remember too much about this book, but I do
remember one of my teachers reading it to the class and finding it exciting.
Did you participate in this weeks Top 10 Tuesday? If so leave me a comment with your link, I'd love to check it out.
I loved the Castle in the Attic series as a kid!
ReplyDeleteBooky and The Guests of War look like great trilogies. I will have to be on the look out for them.
I think I may have only read the first book. I will have to check out the others when I go to reread it. Thank you for stopping by Amanda!
DeleteLovely post Melissa! I absolutely loved Heidi. Still do, actually.
