Top Ten Tuesday: Re-Read Like The First Time

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish and it's a way to share what you're loving in list form. The topic changes every week, so there is always something new to discover!

This week's topic is:  Top Ten Books On My TBR For Summer 2015.  While I love this topic, I feel like we just did it last month (see:  Books in Your Beach Bag).  So, instead, I'm going to do Top Ten Books I Wish I Could Read Again for the First Time.  This has nothing to do with the actual topic, but it's a topic I missed for TTT in the past.  So there!

In no particular order:
 
Life of Pi by Yann Martel

Harry Potter by JK Rowling...duh

Midwives by Chris Bohjalian

Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk

The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

Peace Like a River by Leif Enger

Night by Elie Wiesel
 
Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy

The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger


What are some books that you wish you could re-read for the first time?

Also, look for next week's Top Ten:  Favorite Top Ten Topics from the Past

Happy reading!

    You've got some great selections on this list. I have read Midwives, The Time Traveler's Wife, and The Book Thief a couple of times. So good. And I've read/listened to Harry Potter at least 20 times. So so good. Enjoy your re-reading!

    Yes to Harry Potter! It would be great to read that one for the first time (again). :) I still haven't read The Time Traveler's Wife, I've heard it's so good.

      It's really good. I haven't watched the movie because I hear that they completely changed the ending...

    I applaud your defiance! Haha :) When I was working on mine I was thinking "didn't we just do something like this??" Haha oh well. Great list! Now that I've read HP I can totally see why I got so many comments about people wishing they could re-read for the first time again. Excellent list!

    For me I wish I could re-read Clan of the Cave Bear by Jean M Auel for the first time. I have a real emotional reaction every time I read it, but nothing ever beats the first time :)

      I have yet to read those! My mom loves them and always recommends them to me because she thinks I'll like them...which I probably would. One day :) Thanks for visiting, Debbie!

2016 A-Z Blogging Challenge Theme Reveal

Image
Oooo...the day is getting closer; creeping stealthily, it will smack you in the face in no time! While we impatiently await the start of the challenge, it's time to reveal our themes.  Yay!  I'm going for something drastically different this year.  Something much more challenging than I've ever done in my previous four years participating in this particular challenge.  Normally my posts are pretty straight-forward, contained, not overly ambitious.  This year is going to be another beast all together. My mission, should I choose to accept it, will be to write one continuous story for the entire challenge.  I know my characters, setting, and where I want it to go...kind of.  All I need to figure out is how to get from point A to point Z.  The first word of each post will start with the letter for the day; some of these will definitely be more difficult than others, but I'm determined. I look forward to writing this, receiving feedback, and having a rip-roaring goo

B is for...Bend

Image
It's day two of the A-Z Blogging Challenge and B is our designated letter today.  Unlike last year, I've decided on a dedicated theme to guide my posts for this month's challenge and have chosen:  sites and points of interest in Oregon .  I sat down last night and filled in my list (for the most part...some of those pesky letters are tricky) with places and things that I think are awesome and must-see stops for anyone traveling through the Pacific Northwest.  So, without further ado, let's get this virtual tour started! Bend, Oregon Technically considered the central point of the state, Bend is a city that is a must for nature enthusiasts and beer connoisseurs.  Nestled in the Cascade Range, it's a vibrant city with the highest population in Central Oregon (roughly 76,000).  Surrounded by high desert and US Service Forest land, the climate is temperate and offers activities year round.  Whether you're into biking and hiking in the summer or skiing an
