Top Ten Books I Wish I Could Read Again for the First Time
1. Harry Potter by JK Rowling
When I first read this book I was in a contest with my friend to see who could complete the series the fastest (there were only four out at the time) and I was in a hurry reading it, so now I would like to go back and take my time reading them.
2. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
When I started to read this book I had a lot of other things to do for school so most of the time I was distracted while reading it and was also trying to read Saints At The River for another class as well.
3. To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee
I had to read this book for my 10th grade English class and I was only reading it a chapter at a time so I wouldn't get too far ahead of my class; so I want to read it all at once instead of chopped up into chapters.
4. Uglies by Scott Westerfeld
I love this book and I would just like to go back and read it for the first time again!
5. Eragon by Christopher Paolini
When I first read this book I found myself skimming a couple of parts...which I really need to break the habit of doing.
6. Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones
When I first started to read this book it didn't immediately grab me so it took me a week and a half to finally get into the book, since I ended up enjoying it so much I would like to read it all at once.

My Teaser:
"Only the very weak-minded refuse to be influenced by literature and poetry,” said Tessa.
-pg. 87 “Clockwork Angel” by Cassandra Clare
"It was Henry, to Charlotte’s surprise, who replied without turning, 'Inanimate objects are harmless indeed, Mr. Mortmain. But one cannot always say the same of the men who use them.'"
-pg. 150 “Clockwork Angel” by Cassandra Clare
A weekly feature hosted by Ginger at GReads! that showcases music!!
For the month of October Tune in Tuesday will be featuring songs from soundtracks.
This week music is two songs from The O.C. These are some of my all time favorite songs!
This is one of the series that I love to read over and over and over again! It will probably always be my favorite!
2. The Uglies Series by Scott Westerfeld
This is my favorite series of his and I have read this series a lot as well! I enjoy reading his books and I'm constantly looking for ways to get my hands on his books that I don't currently own.
3. Impulse by Ellen Hopkins
Out of all of her books this one is probably my favorite! I've been dying to reread this one for awhile now but I just haven't found the time yet :(
4. Saints at the River by Ron Rash
I was assigned to read this book for my Eng 102 class and I did not have high hopes for it because of the cover or the synopsis. It just wasn't in the genre that I was reading at the time. However, when reading this book I fell in love with it. Ron Rash is a local writer and his book takes place in Tamassee, SC (I went to a track meet at their high school). This is a fantastic book and I would definitely recommend it for you to read.
5. The Hobbit by J.R.R Tolkein
Love! Love! Love! I absolutely love this book!!
6. Burned by Ellen Hopkins
This book is probably my second favorite book of hers. If I remember correctly the male protagonist is totally crush worthy and not many books of her's have that element. I also did not expect the way that she ended the book AT ALL! Total shocker for me!! This is probably one of her saddest books :(
7. The Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini
This series is probably one of my favorite high fantasy genre books and I enjoy going back and rereading it every so often. Also the fourth and final book is coming out in November so I am definitely due for a reread!!
8. Mad Kestrel by Misty Massey
I read this book about three years ago for my school's SCYABA contest and I enjoyed it a lot! It was one of my favorite books from that year's list! The last two weeks I have had this urge to reread it so that is why it is on the list!
9. The Host by Stephenie Meyer
This is on my list of favorite books and it's obviously my favorite book by the author :P! I was really skeptical when I was first told to read but I'm really glad that I did. It definitely has a slow start but when it gets going it really takes off.
10. This Lullaby by Sarah Dessen
This is my second favorite book by Sarah Dessen (The Truth About Forever is my favorite) and all of her books are must reads! All of the guys will have you in love with them before the book is even halfway done. They are just simply fantastic!

"If someone were to look carefully, the angry red marks underneath the fine cotton of her blouse would be clearly visible. But nobody ever does look carefully."

(my all time favorite Beatles song!)
"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking The Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
From Goodreads:
Not so very long ago, Eragon Shadeslayer, Dragon Rider, was nothing more than a poor farm boy, and his dragon, Saphira, only a blue stone in the forest. Now the fate of an entire civilization rests on their shoulders. Long months of training and battle have brought victories and hope, but they have also brought heartbreaking loss. And still, the real battle lies ahead: they must confront Galbatorix. When they do, they will have to be strong enough to defeat him. And if they cannot, no one can. There will be no second chances. The Rider and his dragon have come further than anyone dared to hope. But can they topple the evil king and restore justice to Alagaësia? And if so, at what cost? This is the much-anticipated, astonishing conclusion to the worldwide bestselling Inheritance cycle.
I'm really excited to read this book when it comes out on November 8th, 2011! I really love this series and it's one of the books that got me to start actively looking for high-fantasy YA books. This is the fourth and final book in the series.
