If you could go back and read any
book/series for the first time again, what would you pick?
This was a Top Ten Tuesday topic back
in 2011, so it will seem familiar, however, I was dying to talk about
it and see what others would say.
For me, my automatic reaction is, and
will most likely always be: Harry Potter.
But this got me
thinking about other books/series that really affected me. What other
books would I want to experience again?
The first one that came to mind is the
Fire and Thorns series. I ADORE those books, and have read the series
twice. However, reading it for the first time was magical. I wish I
could recapture that feeling!
The next one I thought of was The Book
Thief. Oh, that book. I have suggested it to everyone I can possibly
think of. I remember getting the chills the first time I picked it up
and was introduced to Death's unique narrative. The storytelling is
beautiful. Heartbreaking, but wonderful.
So You Want to Be a Wizard. This is the
series that introduced me to the wonderful quote “Reading one book
is like eating just one potato chip.” I immediately identified with
the characters and fell head over heels in love with the story. I was
12 when I first read it, I'd love to experience that feeling of
delight I had when I read it.
Those books were the ones that stuck out to me the most, though there are others. What about you? What would you pick?? Please, share in the comments below!
