Top Ten Tuesday: Books that are Gathering Dust on My Shelves


1. The Sea of Monsters (Percy Jackson and the Olympians #2)by Rick Riordan
I bought this for my husband last christmas, if I remember correctly. I loved the first book, so I'm going to buy the last three books this christmas and then I can read them all!

2. Dracula by Bram Stoker
Found this as a paperback, had to have it. Though I'm not sure when, or if, I'll read it.

3. Clockwork Angel (The Infernal Devices #1)by Cassandra Clare
Just missing the inspiration. Still!

4. The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
This was one of my favorites when I was a kid, bought this few years back, and still haven't read it!

5. Blow Fly (Kay Scarpetta #12) by Patricia Cornwell
Got this from some book club, somehow just forgot it..

6. The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri
Got this.. 10 years ago.. Man, I'm a fast reader!

7. Hearts in Atlantis by Stephen King
I actually have few other King's book that I should read too, but I think this is the latest I've bought.

8. Shock by Robin Cook
I may have read this, can't remember just now. When I was 11, I read all his books I could find!

9. The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien
This is actually my husband's book, but I've been meaning to read this for a while.

10. Belgarath the Sorcerer (Belgarian Prequels) by David Eddings, Leigh Eddings
I read The Belgariad- series when I was about.. 12, I guess?, and bought this then. But then I just stopped reading that series, and forgot to read this one.

Top Ten Books I Wish I Could Read Again for the First Time


1. Harry Potter serie by J. K. Rowling
I remember the day I borrowed Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone from our library. I just fell in love. Now I've read all the books for few times.

2. Twilight serie by Stephenie Meyer
I heard all this talk about some stupid-glittering-vampire-books, and had to check it out. I bought first book, read it in a day, went to bookstore next day and bought the rest of the serie. And read it few times in a row. HOOKED.

3. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl
I was probably eight years old, when my teacher read this book to our class. It was just so amazing. It took years to remember this books name again, but after that I read every book possible from Roald Dahl.

4. The Brothers Lionheart by Astrid Lindgren
I was six or seven when my aunt read this to us one summer. Every night she would read chapter and I couldn't wait. I've read this few times since, but of course the first time was the best. It was amazing. But I need to find a copy for myself too, maybe I'll read this to my daughter one day. And maybe she'll love it just as much.

5. Little Women by Louisa M. Alcott
I read this first time when I was ten or so. Now I've read it probably ten times, or more, I think the last time was about year ago.

6. The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett
Classic.

7. Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris
First english book I read! And haven't stopped since. Had to buy the whole serie after this first book.

8. Hex Hall by Rachel Hawkins
Just read this, bought the second book before I even finished the first one. And the whole time I read this, I kept checking if the end was near. 'Cause I didn't want it to stop! Unfortunately, it did. And so did the second book. *sigh*

9. The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank
Read this when I was around 12, and yet again, has read it only million times after that. Actually just borrowed it from the library, again.

10. Nancy (And I Don't Want to Live This Life: A Mother's Story of Her Daughter's Murder) by Deborah Spungen
Read this about 10 times, should read again. And again. What can you do!
