Top Ten Tuesday #85 - Books From My Childhood That I Would Love To Revisit


Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by the fabulous gals cover at The Broke & The Bookish. This week's topic is -

Top Ten Thirteen Books From My Childhood That I Would Love To Revisit

What a great topic! This one really made me think but I suspect if any of you are a regular reader of the Outsider then you'll have heard a lot of these books mentioned over the years. These are all firm favorites and are books read before my teen years. If I included teen books we'd be here all week. Having listed all these titles I'm now really in the mood for a massive re-read so I might have to find time to squeeze them in. Maybe I'll dedicate a month to doing just that in the summer, always a good time for easy reading when the weather is hot/warm/still feels like winter...

These are all standalone books or the first in the series. if it's a series I probably loved every single book as you tend to do when you're a child! Also note my amazing inability to count to ten! I'm amazed I stopped at thirteen as I could have kept going forever...

Books about friendship - best friends, ex-friends, keep your friends close and your enemies closer 'friends', sisters, friends who are gone, friends who become more.
