Top Ten Tuesday

Hello everyone!

Today I am participating in a weekly blog meme held over at The Broke and the Bookish called Top Ten Tuesday. This weeks topic? List the top ten books you want to reread.

I reread books a lot. I've probably reread more old books than I've read new books. A good book deserves another read, don't you agree?

The Top Ten Books I Want to Reread:

 

*looks at bookshelf and Goodreads*

 



 1. Orphan's Song by Gillian Bronte Adams.

I just read this book a couple weeks ago, but I have recently received the actual BOOK in the mail a few days ago, so I want to have the experience of reading it in my hands.

*Random Question* Do you prefer electronic books or paperback? Why?

2. Red Rain by Aubrey Hansen:

 

I suppose I'm cheating a little bit, just because I've never actually read this book. About a year ago my sister and I listened to the audiobook which is free on the author's website. I remember it being really good, and I want to get around to listening to it again.

3. On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness by Andrew Peterson:

 

That is one long title. :)

 

I have read this so long ago that I have completely forgotten what it is even about. I have yet to read the last one, The Warden and the Wolf King, but as soon as I start (and finish!) rereading the series, then I'll try to get ahold of the last one somehow.

First book in the Trilogy

4. The Door Within Trilogy by Wayne Thomas Batson:

It's been awhile since I've read these books as well. (Gah! I have so many books to read !!) I own the first and the last, so I'll have to pester the library for the second. :)

5. Dragon Slippers (Dragon Slippers Series) by Jessica Day George:

 

(Is counting all the series as one reread considered as cheating?)

 

Like many of the books above, I haven't read these in a long time, and basically have forgotten the entirety of the plot. :P I remember really liking them, so that's a good sign. :)

 

*laughs* I was looking on Google images for the cover of the first book and searched, "Dragon Slippers." This came up:



 

 

     Literal dragon slippers.

     I want some.

6. Princess of the Midnight Ball (A Series of Fairy Tale Retellings) by Jessica Day George:

 

I read this before the Dragon Slipper books (above). I liked some books in the series more than others, and I think this was my favorite. I can't really remember due to time and bad memory. :P That's what rereading is for, right? It's going to be like a whole new book! :)

7. The Giver by Lois Lowry:

 

I read this book, watched the movie, and now want to read the book again. (For those of you that are wondering, I really enjoyed the movie and it didn't stray that far from the book. It was appropriate, too, which I most definitely appreciate) I own this book, so once I have time I can read it right away. :)

8. The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien:

 

In anticipation of the final chapter of the movie, I want to read this before December so I can see how far they stray from the book. :/ (I'm a little disappointed that the producers didn't stick with the plot of the book very closely, but, the basic plot is the same at least, right? They still hunt down Smaug the dragon. ;)

Regardless of things the movie changes and things it does not, I am i-n-c-r-e-d-i-b-l-y excited for The Battle of the Five Armies to come out! (Though I would like the title to be, "There and Back Again." Enough with the movie, though. The point is about rereading the book. :P)

I think the last time I read this book when I was 11, so my time has come to reread the epic tale. :)

9. Um.... Etc. (End of Thinking Capacity)

 

Heh.

I can't think of any more, so before you say, "But you're supposed to list TEN books you want to reread," I just want to point out that if you add up (in context) all the books above, it comes out to be seventeen books.

I need help.

"Yeah, Katie. You wanna reread seventeen books, rewrite your own, and read a bunch of new books by the end of the year? Good idea! Let's forget the option of sleep."
