Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly event hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. Join in!
The books I’ve chosen are books that were favourites of mine in my childhood and early teen years (and still are today). In some way I’d love to re-read (or re-re-read) all of them, whether it’s reading them to my children one day or simply reading them for myself.
1. The Magic City by E. Nesbit
2. The King of Whatever by Kirsten Murphy
3. A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket
4. Chinese Cinderella: The Secret Story of an Unwanted Daughter by Adeline Yen Mah
5. The Magic Faraway Tree by Enid Blyton (and pretty much anything by Enid Blyton)
6. Deadly and Wicked by Paul Jennings and Morris Gleitzman
7. Matilda by Roald Dahl (and pretty much any other Roal Dahl book)
8. The Chronicles of Narnia by C. S Lewis
9. The Tomorrow Series by John Marsden
10. Harry Potter by J. K Rowling
Can’t go wrong with Harry Potter!

I loved a Series of Unfortunate Events when I read it many years ago as a child! It was such an amazing series, and thinking about it now, I get this distinct feeling of how I felt when reading these books! It’s so peculiar!

It was wonderful. I own the whole series and always enjoyed reading them! So unique and strange, unlike most of anything else that’s ever been written I think! 🙂

A wonderful and powerful book, one I’ve always treasured! So sad that I have no idea where my copy has gone. I’d love to read it again and yeah, I think I’ve been telling myself to read HP again for years, but still haven’t managed to yet. One day!

Matilda is one of my favourite Roald Dahl books! Loved it! I’m curious to read Chinese Cinderalla – sounds like an interesting autobiography.

Roald Dahl is just pure genius 🙂 Chinese Cinderella is amazing. I was quite confronted by it when it read it back when I was 12 or so. Powerful story that definitely should be more known 🙂
