This week's Top Ten Tuesday on The Broke and the Bookish is: Top Ten Books From My Childhood or Teen Years That I'd Like To Revisit. Seriously. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Only TEN??? Man, the girls over at Broke and Bookish like to torture us, don't they? Fine, fine, I'll do my absolute very best to stick to ten. I mean, I'm not promising anything, but I'll try.
Childhood:
Matilda and The BFG - Roald Dahl
Swallows and Amazons - Arthur RansomeThe Wolves of Willoughby Chase - Joan Aiken
A Little Princess - Frances Hodgson BurnettLittle House In the Big Woods - Laura Ingalls WilderCaddie Woodlawn - Carol Ryrie Brink
Teen Years:
A Prayer for Owen Meany - John IrvingUnder the Tuscan Sun - Frances Mayes
Travels - Michael CrichtonJitterbug Perfume and Still Life with Woodpecker - Tom Robbins
I would have included Anne of Green Gables if I weren't already re-reading it. I'd also include the Trixie Belden books, Coraline by Neil Gaiman and I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith, except I've definitely re-read those already as an adult. Probably more than once!
Did you read any of these? What were your favorite childhood/teen reads?
