Hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, this is Top Ten Tuesday.
This week: Top Ten Bookish Memories
Petunia by Roger Duvoisin (a children’s book
read to me by my mother) – A silly goose finds a book and she thinks she is
very wise and starts giving advice to the other animals; a wonderful story to
fall asleep to
Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark by Alvin
Schwartz – I picked this book up as a pre-teen while vacationing with my family
at a ski resort and freaked myself out but LOVED these stories
R.L. Stine and Christopher Pike – I read this as
a teenager and devoured them over another family vacation in Nags Head, NC
where incidentally, I had my first French kiss. TMI?
) Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte – I read this over
Christmas in 1993 and it was love at first read.
Let’s Pretend This Never Happened – by Jenny
Lawson – during a somewhat stressful trip to see an ailing family member, I was
able to chuckle through this hilarious memoir.
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter by Seth Smith Grahame – an odd choice, I know,
but this book was with me on my first ever trip to New York City and was a good
distraction on the train.
Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer – I read this on a
cold rainy winter’s night and couldn’t put it down.
A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens – Senior
year, a boyfriend and a group of friends couldn’t keep me away from this book
for a whole week in 1994.
A Tree Grows In Brooklyn – I read this in my
birth state while visiting relatives in Kentucky.
Gone With The Wind – another Senior year pick
after I had seen the movie; I wanted to be Scarlett.

I'm reading Jane Eyre right now and listening to A Tale of Two Cities on audiobook! Great choices!

My favorite Gone With The Wind memory- I discovered the movie in high school and had it checked out when we got hit by a huge snowstorm (in PA) and we were out of school for an entire week. I watched the movie over and over again and was so excited to read the book once the snow cleared!
Right here is the right site for anyone who wishes to find out about this topic.
You realize so much its almost tough to argue with you (not that I really will need to…HaHa).
You definitely put a new spin on a topic which
has been discussed for years. Wonderful stuff, just excellent!
