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...

The Belgariad

'Salem's Lot

Tales of Alderley

The Owl Service

The Dark Is Rising Sequence

The Hobbit

Little Women

Matilda

When Marnie Was There

Jane Eyre


The Earthsea Cycle

Alice's Adventures In Wonderland

Top Ten Tuesday #75 - Books I Wouldn't Mind Santa Bringing This Year

Top Ten Books I Wouldn't Mind Santa Bringing This Year

It is a well known fact amongst my family and friends that none of them buy me books. They seem to think working as a bookseller and/or being a book blogger means I no longer want or need bookish presents! This year is no different unless someone has managed to fool me completely and there will be no books under the tree for me :( Here are just a few things I would love Santa *cough* to bring me. On a related note, from the post I did about this last Christmas - found here, I've bought four of the books on the list myself. I'm still waiting for the rest Santa... The last three on my list here aren't strictly books but as I have a thing about postcards, especially bookish ones they made the list.

Hansel & Gretel 

Ballet Shoes 75th Anniversary Edition

Little Women

Once Upon A Dream

Oscar & the Mooncats
