The Top Ten Books I Wish I Could Read Again for the First Time:
Dreamland by Sarah Dessen: This book has such a special place in my heart, and I would love to read it for the first time again.
Harry Potter (1-7) by J.K. Rowling: This series is so wonderful, I am still amazed when I reread it, but it would be so cool to feel that first time wonder again.
Cracked Up To Be by Courtney Summers: I was so struck by Summers' first book.
Birthmarked by Caragh M. O'Brien: I knew nothing of this book when I read it in April 2010, and it completely sneaked up on me with how amazing it is.
Paper Towns by John Green: If you haven't read this book, you really must. Right now.
A Time for Dancing by Davida Wills Hurwin: I read this book for the first time in high school and have read it so many times since then.
Graceling by Kristin Cashore: This book is fantastic.
The Nature of Jade by Deb Caletti: Another book I reread all the time, but I would love to feel that first time feeling each time.
Just Like That by Marsha Qualey: Another favorite.
Franny and Zooey by J.D. Salinger: I particularly love the Zooey part, and found it so funny when I read it the first time.
The books on this top ten list are books that I have really loved and were completely stunned by the first time I read them. I would love to read each of these again and recall how it felt to read them the first time around.

I just loved Birthmarked and Graceling too. I'm definitely intrigued about Dreamland and am eager to read Paper Towns too. Awesome choices!
Franny and Zooey is one of those classics that I have yet to read. I must rectify that!
Totally agree with you about Summers' Cracked Up To Be. Such a great read! Thanks for stopping by my Top Ten post and commenting :)
I've got A Time for Dancing on waiting on my shelf, but I haven't read it yet. Sounds like I should if it holds up to so much rereading!
I debated putting one of Deb Caletti's books on my list. It probably would have been Wild Roses for me, but The Nature of Jade is a great one, too!
