March 24: Top 10 Books From My Childhood (Or teen years) That I Would Love To Revisit
I split this list between childhood and teen.
1. Anne of Green Gables; L.M. Montgomery. Who doesn’t love a dreamer?
2. Bunnicula; James Howe. Vampire bunny!
3. The Golden Compass; Phillip Pullman. A grand conspiracy, and some truly evil bad guys.
4. Inkheart; Cornelia Funke. Magic and writing.
5. To Kill a Mockingbird; Harper Lee. A story about justice.
6. Pippi Longstocking; Astrid Lindgren. A very special girl.
7. The Trumpet of the Swan; E.B. White. Just the right amount of hopeful.
8. Where the Sidewalk Ends; Shel Silverstein. These poems made me laugh as a kid.
9. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz; L. Frank Baum. A classic.
10. The Wrinkle in Time; Madeleine L’Engle. It all starts on a stormy night…
I love that you put Bunnicula on your list! I almost put it on mine but there were just too many others ahead of it.
A lot of my absolute favorites didn’t make this list because they don’t need revisiting. Books like Matilda and The Secret Garden get read every year or so.
To Kill a Mockingbird is one of my favorite books of all time! Oooo. Where the Sidewalk Ends! I didn’t even think about that one, but I would love to reread it too.
My TTT!
The poems make me laugh, and some of them make me think–either one is a good thing, both is better.
Ah, Bunnicula. Just reread that this last Halloween, and I think it was even funnier as an adult. And I still have one of the poems from Where the Sidewalk Ends memorized.
Great list! I love pretty much all your choices.
Right? Vampire bunnies are amazing.
I think I might be the only Canadian who hasn’t read Anne of Green Gables (and in that respect, how can I call myself a Canadian?!). Ha, I’m such a fail.
Cheers,
Joey via. thoughts and afterthoughts.
It’s never too late…
I considered putting To Kill a Mockingbird, but I’ve re-read it as an adult..and enjoyed it more every time.
I’ve re-read it, too, but it’s been long enough that I decided it counted for this list. 😉
