Top Ten Tuesday: Books I Want To Re-Read
(Besides Harry Potter, because really, who doesn't want to re-read that all the time?)
1.
Noughts and Crosses (
Nought and Crosses #1) by Malorie Blackman
This is probably one of the most underrated YA series ever, and I don't understand why! I read
Noughts & Crosses in Year 7 and the story has stuck with me forever. It's a moving piece on discrimination, but also a heartbreaking love story. I really want to revisit it.
2.
The Host (The Host #1) by Stephanie Meyer
I read
The Host this year and already I want to read it again. I gave it five stars (review
here), because I think it's such a worthwhile and thought-provoking read.
3.
Code Name Verity (
Code Name Verity #1) by Elizabeth Wein
A recent read as well (2012), but
Code Name Verity has such a beautiful meaning with a bitter sweet ending. The characters were gorgeous and I want to read it before I get the companion novel.
4.
Will Grayson Will Grayson by David Levithan and John Green
Part of my top five, I think it's about time for my annual re-read.
5.
The Bone Season (The Bone Season #1) by Samantha Shannon
The sequel to this is about to be released, and I am so excited. I didn't particularly love this one but I want to re-read it to see if I've missed anything and to jog my memory.
6.
Deathless (
Deathless #1) Catherynne M. Valente
Valente is a beautiful writer and its translate perfectly in
Deathless, mixing both fantasy and mythical elements. This is an adult read but I just loved it.
7.
Unearthly Series by Cynthia Hand
I finished this series this year, but because there was such a large gap between reading
Unearthly and
Hallowed I couldn't really make sense of everything in the last novel -
Boundless.
8.
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Johnathon Safran Foer
I loved every moment of this and have been wanting to buy this ever since finishing it - still have yet to though. Oscar is such a loveable boy and his journey is so moving.
9.
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
One of my favourite classics - I still have yet to re-read this despite enjoying it in high school.
10.
The Shifting Fog by Kate Morton
Kate Morton is the ultimate and her genius-ness translates into everything she's written, including
The Shifting Fog. It was such a thrilling and engaging read!
