Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by the Broke and the Bookish. Today’s theme was:
Top Ten Books I Want To Reread (or if you don’t reread…would reread in an ideal world)
The Humans by Matt Haig (Duh)
The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan (I never finished this series, so I have been planning a whole series read. I will hopefully start this soon)
City of Bones by Cassandra Clare (ditto what I said about the Percy Jackson series for this one)
The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater (Again, duh)
The Falls by Ian Rankin (I could always reread Ian Rankin books)
The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky (I am due a reread)
The Harry Potter series by JK Rowling (It’s been a couple of years. I want to reread this now that I’m older and see how I feel)
The Passage by Justin Cronin (Such an amazing book. I want to reread this one and its sequel The Twelve just because they are awesome)
Paper Towns by John Green (I want to reread before the movie comes out!)
Duma Key by Stephen King (This is my favorite Stephen King book, and I would love to have the time to reread it)
What books would you reread if you had the time? Link me up to your TTT if you’re participating!
You gotta give The Mortal Instruments another read! I love that series (especially books 1-3).
I believe I read the first three books but then just didn’t have time to read the next two when they came out. I enjoyed the ones I read. Definitely need to try again. 🙂
I enjoyed your eclectic list, Stefani, though a number of the books are only on my to-be-read (for the first time) list! That’s not to say they might not make it onto a future list of top-ten rereads though! For the moment, here’s my own list: http://intersectinggeodesics.wordpress.com/2014/11/05/top-ten-tuesday-books-i-want-to-re-read/
Em.
Thanks! I try to read lots of different types of books as it expands my tastes and my knowledge so my list definitely reflects that! 🙂
Thanks for stopping by, Em. Heading to check out your list now.

I really want to reread The Harry Potter books and Paper Towns again. Great list!
Thanks, Alison! I’ve been due a Harry Potter reread for a while, so I think I’ll have to do that soon!
Yay for City of Bones, I love all things Shadowhunter! And also for HP. I grew up with this series, I was around 9/10 when the first book came out and I can’t wait to reread it as an adult either to see if it still strikes a chord with me, I’m sure it will! I recently bought the first book from the Percy series having never read any Riordian before, so looking forward to it. I’ll probably see Paper Towns the movie, I read the book once but it disappointed me so doubt I’ll read it before the movie comes out.

I was about the same age when the first HP book came out too. Wasn’t it awesome to grow up about the same age as the characters? 🙂
I think you’ll like the Percy series. Will you review it?
It really was brilliant! I think I was 16/17 when the series ended, and I remember all the TV specials and the anticipation for the new releases. I remember the news stories when the 4th book was being sent to print and had an armored guard! Lol Yep, I’ll not be getting to it for a wee while, but I usually try to review everything I read, even if it’s a mini review 🙂
I remember all that too. Went to the midnight release of the last couple of books but the release of Deathly Hallows was both joyous and sad. It was fun
OK, now I’ve got to move Duma Key up near the top of my TBR list.
It’s so good. It’s pretty different from his other books which is probably why I like it so much.
That’s good to hear. I loved Salem’s Lot and quite a few of his early books. Then I didn’t read him for years until 11/22/63.
Do you think you’ll love HP less now that you’re older? I wouldn’t worry. I was 28 when I read them the first time, and they are now perpetually on my re-read list. You should try them as audiobooks. Both the Jim Dale and Stephen Fry versions are excellent!
No. I think I’ll appreciate them even more because I can look back on my teenage years while not actually reliving them. Haha. 🙂 I know I’ll still love them. I’ve reread them before but it’s just been a few years.
Ah, gotcha. I do wish I could’ve read them younger, so I could fully experience the wonder.
