It’s Top Ten Tuesday, hosted by The Broke and Bookish, and today’s topic is Top Ten Books I Want to Reread.
Much as I love rereading, it’s a pleasure I rarely allow myself. There are always so many new books I’m trying to get to. One of my reading goals for 2015, though, is more rereading, and here are 10 books I’d like to reread next year:
Seraphina by Rachel Hartman
Outlaws of Sherwood by Robin McKinley
Wee Free Men by Terry Pratchett
Catherine Called Birdy by Karen Cushman
The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros
Weetzie Bat by Francesca Lia Block
On the Banks of Plum Creek by Laura Ingalls Wilder
I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith
The King of Attolia by Megan Whalen Turner
Jinx by Sage Blackwood
What surprised me about making this list was how much fantasy is on it. I think of myself as someone who doesn’t read much fantasy and doesn’t love fantasy, but when I started thinking about books I wanted to reread, fantasy dominated. So…. clearly I don’t know myself as a reader as well as I thought I did!
I don’t do much rereading either, as it seems like there are so many books that I will never get to already.
I love that cover for On the Banks of Plum Creek! It brings back such fond memories! This week in an online literature course I teach, we are discussing The House on Mango Street. I also just purchased Seraphina and was excited to see it on several Top Ten Tuesday lists. I’ve been absent from visiting people’s blogs lately so am looking forward to stopping by more often! 😀
