Top Ten Tuesday: Books I Wish I Could Read Again for the First Time
What a fun theme – Books I Wish I Could Read Again for the First Time! I chose some of my favorites from my childhood and others I’ve read as an adult. These are all books I’ve read multiple times but would love to experience them again for the first time.
Anne of Green Gables is one of my favorite books, I’ve watched the Megan Follows movie countless times and really enjoy the Netflix adaptation too. Another favorite from my childhood is From the Mixed-Up Files which shouldn’t surprise me as I’ve enjoyed art history for many years taking a couple of classes in college too. Other books like The Benefits of Being an Octopus is a new favorite. I even got to hang out with Ann at a conference and she’s an absolutely awesome individual! And The Remarkable Journey of Coyote Sunrise was definitely one of my top reads in 2019!

Yep! I read the whole series as a kid, but that might be an interesting re-read!

ANNE OF GREEN GABLES is one of the few books I’ve read multiple times. I love it every time, but you’re right – it would be fun to re-experience it for the first time.
Happy TTT!

As a kid I used to re-read a lot of books, now I don’t have enough time to re-read many, but Anne is definitely an exception!

I wish I could have read Anne of Green Gables before I ever watched the old PBS series when I was a kid.

Anne seems to have been a popular title! No wonder it’s a classic!

This is a great list, and I’m not at all surprised to see Anne with an E here. But also lovely to see Vandermeer here. 🙂
