Top 10 Tuesday - 1/25/11

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created at The Broke and the Bookish.

This week they asked us:


What are the top 10 books you wish you'd read as a kid?

Here's our list... (1-5 are Tevya's picks, 6-10 are Andrea's.)

1. Little Women by Louisa May Alcott - I had it sitting on my bookshelf and never read it. I'm ashamed to admit that.

2. To Kill a Mockingbirg by Harper Lee - I wish this had been required in school. I have tried to read it as an adult and it doesn't hold my interest long enough.

3. Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret by Judy Blume - I loved Judy Blume, but never made it to this one. Not sure why. I think I would have loved it.

4. Little House on the Prairie by Laura Ingalls Wilder - I loved the TV show, and I know I would have adored the books. I started reading some of them, but never finished.

5. Pippi Longstocking by Astrid Lindgren - I loved Pippi, but didn't even realize for a long time that it was a book. This would have been a fun book to read!

6. The Bunnicula Series by James Howe - How in the world did a vampire lover miss this one as a kid? I am so ashamed....

7. The Babysitters Club by Ann M. Martin - I wish that I had read this entire series in order, but I only read a few of the books and they weren't in order.

8. The Harry Potter Series by J.K. Rowling - I would have loved to have something like this to read as a young adult, but there weren't that many options for my generation. Kids today are so lucky that they have so many great options to read.

9. The Chronicles of Narnia Series by C.S. Lewis - I would have loved these as a kid, but never chose to read them until I became an adult for some reason.

10. Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher - I think every teen should read this book. It would have made me think about my words and actions a bit more. Not that I was a horrible teen, but I am sure that some of the things I said and did hurt others.
