Top Ten Tuesday: This is a meme hosted over at The Broke and The Bookish
This week is all about books from my childhood that I want to revisit. There are only 8, but a couple series so I figure that makes up for the missing 2.
Any Nancy Drew Book by Carolyn Keene
I love Nancy Drew. Someday I’ll read all the originals.
The Voyage of the Basset by James C. Christensen
Love this book and the pictures.
The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein
This is the first book I ever “read.” And by that I mean my parents read it to me so many times I had it memorized.
The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman
I loved the first two books of this series, then thought the third one spoiled it. I would like to reread it to see what my adult brain thinks about it all.
The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe C.S. Lewis
There is always room on my bookshelf for Lewis. Always. (Did you see what I did there)
The Boxcar Children by Gertrude Chandler Warner
Seriously, I loved mysteries when I was a kid. I’m not sure why I stopped reading them. But I loved the Boxcar Children. Every time I got a Scholastic order form I asked for whatever boxcar children books I could get.
The Seven Sleepers Series by Gilbert L. Morris
This was the first Post Apocalyptic series I ever read. It was all about seven kids who got put in sleeper pods during the third world war that also turned the world nuclear. They awake to find the world completely different than when they first went to sleep. I only ever got to read the first book, but I’ve always wanted to find all of the books and read them.
The Cooper Kids by Frank E. Peretti
I had many late nights because of this kids series. One time I had finished one at 3 in the morning, only to find my Mom enthralled by one of his books in the living room. I remember loving the play on spiritual vs physical.
