Every Tuesday The Broke and the Bookish hosts Top Ten Tuesday, a meme in which a new and different top ten list appears.
This weeks Top Ten list is:
Books I Want to Reread
#1 - Old Yeller by Fred Gipson. - I read this book when I was in high school. It's one that has stuck in my mind for a long long time. I want to re-read this now I'm an adult to see if it still has the same effect. I think I will need a box of tissues again as this one is a weepie.
#2 Mrs Frisby and the Rats of NIMH by Robert C O'Brien. - I recently bought a copy of this book. It's one I remember from my childhood. It holds so many memories and I want to recapture the magic :D
#3 - Dragons of Autumn Twilight by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman - This is part of the Dragonlance series. I basically want to re-read all of the Dragonlance novels. They are books that first got me into reading. I love these books!!
#4 - The Host by Stephenie Meyer - I really enjoyed this book, it was completely different to the whole Twilight thing. A real pleasant surprise.
5# - Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris - I really enjoyed the Sookie Stackhouse series. I think I would like to reread these books as I think there would be things I would have missed the first time round. I have forgotten some of the story lines already...... shame on me as they were so good. I've recently bought The Sookie Stackhouse Companion, which I'm soooo looking forward to.
#6 The Forest of Hands & Teeth by Carrie Ryan - How did I not put this as number one!!! It's my favourite book ha ha ha. I really want to read the whole series again and again and again :D
#7 - The Lucifer Code by Michael Cordy - I really enjoyed this book. A good mixture of science vs religion.
#8 - Neither Here Nor There - Travels in Europe by Bill Bryson - I'm not normally a fan of travel writing but this author is brilliant and so funny. I read his books years ago and think it's time for a re-visit.
#9 - IT by Stephen King - I read some Stephen King novels in my teens. This is my favorite one and I so want to read it again. This book however gave me a fear of clowns :(
#10 - Moonfleet by John Meade Falkner - Another one I read when I was at school. I really enjoye this book and fell in love with the characters. I think it's time I visited Moonfleet again.
Do you think any of these are worthy reads?? What is your opinion of these titles............ What books would you recommend for the perfect reread :D

oooh, nice list! I read Old Yeller in 7th grade and cried my eyes out! Same with The Yearling.
I read just about every Stephen King novel he wrote when I was in my teens, but it's been years now - you're right, they would be fun to reread, and IT was great!
