Book I Wish I Could Read Again for the First Time
I totally spaced that today’s Tuesday so I’m posting this a little late. Better late than never, right?
This week’s prompt is a freebie and I’ve decided to go with a topic that I missed participating in. The prompt I chose is “Books I Wish I Could Read Again for the First Time.” Here are my top ten books:

I absolutely adore all of these books. I loved the feeling of wonder, excitement, and anticipation that I felt when I read them the first time. I’ve reread all of them except two and there’s still a sense of excitement and anticipation, and it’s not as strong as when I read them the first time. I’ll still reread them, though, because I love the stories and the characters.
What about you? What books do you wish you could read again for the first time? Do we have any in common?
I learned in DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) that life is full of dialectics, or two opposing truths. In this case, the two opposing truths are: 1) I don’t agree with JKR’s stance regarding trans people, and 2) I still love Harry Potter.
Such a fun topic and YES I agree with basically all of these. They are all such classics to me, I would love to experience them for the first time again too.
Thanks, Lindsey! 😀 I consider most of these classics too.
I have not read Julianne Donaldson but Blackmoore is on my TBR. Not sure how long it has been there though, LOL!
I think you’d really like Julianne Donaldson. I hope you get to the book soon. 😀
Great selection – several of these are on my TBR list to read for the first time, so I clearly have something to look forward to!
I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I did. 😀
I can’t think of a book off the top of me head but I know there have been several that I wish I could capture that first time reading magic again.
I had to use my Excel spreadsheet of books to help me think of all my books. 😀
Eeek! I’m almost a full week behind in visiting/commenting! 🙁 Better late than never, I hope? I’d love to be able to read City of Bones for the first time again. I was so taken by that world and by the maybe-forbidden relationship between Clary and Jace. Such a fun read!
I completely understand. Sometimes life happens, right? That’s how I feel for the past month. Hopefully, it’ll calm down soon.
I liked the maybe-forbidden relationship aspect of The Mortal Instruments too. And, I really love Clary and Jace. Cassie has such awesome characters! 😀
I like your topic for this week! I actually haven’t read most of these for the first time yet, so the fact that you’d like to read them for the first time again makes me think I should hurry and pick them up already. :3
Thanks, Sammie! 😀 I hope you enjoy them if you do read them.
