Top Ten Tuesday (24/03): Top Ten Books from my Childhood That I Would Like to Revisit




Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created and hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.

 It's a fun way to make bookish lists and find out what others have on their lists as well!




Top Ten Books from my Childhood That I Would Like to Revisit 

It's late Monday night and while I probably would (and could) remember so many more, below is my list for this week. Unfortunately not 10 but do series count? 

1. Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levin. My favourite book. Ever.



2. Nancy Drew series by Carolyn Keene. I was OBSESSED with Nancy Drew. I think I read pretty much every book up to certain point. I had nearly every single book too.



3. Matilda by Roald Dahl. I felt such a strong affinity with Matilda, being the bookworm she is. A great character and a lovely children's book.



4. The BFG by Roald Dahl. Another great children's book. You know what, I probably probably every Roald Dahl book should be listed...



5. Narnia series by C.S. Lewis. The whole set is sitting on my shelf to read again one day.



6. A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle. I remember watching the tv series first and loving it so much I read the book. BUT... how am I only just discovering that this is series?! Ummm... while guess what just made my TBR!


7. The Lightening Thief (Percy Jackson) by Rick Riordan. Admittedly, I read this post 'childhood'. But I haven't read the rest of the series and I did enjoy this so thinking of reading it again.

    I loved reading The BFG... I can't believe that I never read A Wrinkle in Time as a kid. I have it on my list of books to read for the 2015 Banned Books Reading Challenge.

    Here's a link to my TTT post for this week: http://captivatedreader.blogspot.com/2015/03/top-10-books-from-my-childhood-or-teen.html

Top Ten Tuesday (03/03): Top Ten Books You Would Classify As All Time Favourite Books

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish . It's fun to do and interesting to read what other bloggers have to say as well! Join in the fun! Top Ten Books You Would Classify as ALL TIME FAVOURITE BOOKS From the Past 5 Years 1. The Night Circus   by Erin Morgenstern. This is the most recent in this list. I loved how Erin Morgenstern wove the story around the characters and the circus. She also has a wonderful writing style that just makes you see, smell, hear and feel what she is writing, like you're right there. I wrote a review on this here . 2. Where She Went  by Gayle Forman. I really enjoyed If I Stay  and literally bought and read Where She Went  straight after I finished it. I wasn't expecting to love it as much as I did. This book is from Adam's perspective and he really does have a lot of sadness, doubt and anguish. Gayle Forman does a great job portraying Adam's feelings. Gut-wrenchingly beautiful, is al...

Top Ten Tuesday (31/03): Ten Books You Recently Added To Your To-Be-Read List

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish . Check out  The Broke and the Bookish  and other TTT lists! Ten Books You Recently Added to Your TBR List! Haha... coincidentally, I think most of my recent TBR list are books I've discovered through reading other TTT lists! And book blogger reviews. Let's see what interesting books I've recently added on Goodreads. 1. The Guy, the Girl, the Artist and His Ex  by Gabrielle Williams. This was a surprise inclusion with the next book. 2. Pieces of Sky by Trinity Doyle.  Recently won a proof of this (and above) from Allen & Unwin. 3. The Every series by Ellie Marney. Intrigued I didn't know about this series earlier. 4. Reluctantly Charmed by Ellie O'Neill.  Not sure where I've added this from but it does sound fascinating. 5. Vicious by V.E. Schwab.  I think a natural addition following the below discovery :) 6. A Darker Shad...

Top Ten Tuesday (24/02): Top Ten Heroines

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish . Join in the fun! Top Ten Heroines (in no particular order) 1. Ella  ( Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine). This was one of my favourite books as a child and Ella is just phenomenal. She's smart, witty and has a lot of guts. Plus she captures Prince Char's heart (I majorly fell in love with Char when I first read this book). I have to admit I wasn't a fan of the movie adaptation; a huge fail for me even though I adore Anne Hathaway. 2. Hermione Granger  ( Harry Potter series  by J. K. Rowling ) . Of course, what's a heroine list without Hermione. What would Harry do without Hermione? She's the brains in the famous trio and gutsy too.  3. Emma Donahoe  ( Dark Heavens trilogy by Kylie Chan). A devoted fan to this series (now into it's third trilogy). Dark Heavens  is the first and best of the three trilogies, with Emma being the kick-ass main character, pu...
