Top Ten Tuesday: Books I Wish I Could Read Again for the First Time

This is the first time I am participating in Top Ten Tuesday, hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. Hopefully, I will be participating in more! Each week, The Broke and the Bookish post a new top ten list, and ask other bloggers and readers to join in with their own responses. Here goes.


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.
