Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.

This week was books that make us laugh out loud, but I don’t really read those books. I am more of a thriller reader, and I do like the occasional romance book. So I am going to write about books that made me cry.

This week it is about Books I Want to Read Again, or Books I Wish I Could Read Again For the First Time.
All of the Harry Potter books
I really wish I had my collection with these covers, but that’s okay.
I would love re-reading them from time to time. I feel like they become more magical every time I re-read them.
2. Eat Pray Love
I loved the book, and the movie. I enjoy re-living the first time I experienced this book and movie.
3. The BFG
My boyfriend and I read this book together a few years ago. We thought it was really good.
4. To Kill A Mockingbird
I fell in love with this book when I read it in the tenth grade.
5. Charlotte’s Web
I first read this book in grade seven, I thought it was a touching and a heartfelt book. I can’t wait to re-read it. It’s a beautiful story about friendship.
6. The Year of Yes
I enjoyed this book, I thought it was a smart and funny book. It inspires me to be a better person.
7. The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants
I remember these books in high school, after watching the movies, years prior. I loved these stories so much.
8. Gone Girl
This book was a lot of fun to read. I wish I had read the book, before I saw the movie. It was still a good book. I probably wouldn’t read it again, or at least not for awhile. But I wish I was able not to know the ending, so I can read it without knowing what was going to happen.
9. Turn of the Key
I really enjoyed reading this book. It was a thriller, so I wouldn’t be reading this since I already know the mystery. But I wish I can travel back in time, to be able to read it all over again. This book wanted me to read other Ruth Ware’s books. I enjoyed her writing.
10. The Couple Next Door
I borrowed this book from my Grandma, and it was a really good book. I wish I was able to go back in time to write the book for the first time, and not be able to see that twist happen. It was well done.

This week’s topic is Characters I’d Name a Pet After. But I’m not a big pet person, please don’t hate me! But I’m just not a big believer of having any. I grew up with a dog that my parents had before I was born. After he died, my sister wanted to her own dog, but my dad recommended that she tries to look after gold fish first. Unfortunately those fish died very quickly. Once my sister thought that if she feed the fish a lot one day, she wouldn’t need to feed them the next day. But she learned the hard way, that wasn’t healthy for the fish to overeat.
So, I put my own spin on this, and changed it to Characters I Would Name a Child After. Even though I don’t really want children either.
10. Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone
Harry Potter’s mother name was named Lily Potter (nee Evans), and I have always loved that name, and I would love to name my daughter that. My great aunt was named Lillian, and she holds a special place in my heart. I would name daughter Lily because in the book, she belonged to the Gryffindor House, which symbolizes bravery, courage and determination. She loved her son very much, and tried to do everything she could do to protect him from danger.
Another reason why I like the name Lily so much is it means pure, passion, and rebirth.
I realized that I didn’t have a lot of boy names, so I thought about it. I thought that I would like my son to have Albus as his middle name. It means white in Latin. But in the book, Albus, who is the Headmaster of Hogwarts demonstrated leadership throughout the series.
9. Time Traveler’s Wife
I haven’t read this book yet, but I loved the movie, so I am really excited to read this one. But in the movie, I loved Clare a lot. I can tell she has morals, and good manners. She comes across as a girl who has a very traditional lady, which I admire.
I also like the name Henry, too. It means ruler, and it is quite a royal name.
8. The Notebook
Sorry this book was a bit hard to photograph because of the material of the book cover.
In this book I really liked the name Allie, which in the book is short for Alison. She finds her true love, and they make it work for many decades. That is what I would hope my daughter finds. And today is Rachel McAdams birthday today.
7. Anne of Green Gables
I haven’t read this book yet either, but it is on my To Be Read List. I have always liked the name Anne as a middle name. If I name my daughter’s middle name Anne, she would have half of my name, which is Julianne, so that would be a cute tribute. The book is about her struggles of one foster care to another, and having to take care of younger children. Until she finally gets taken care of Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert. She must have developed a lot of strength to overcome those foster homes.
6. The Longest Ride
I also liked the name Ruth, when I started reading this book. I think it’s the perfect middle name. I liked that it was old fashioned, but elegant at the same time. I don’t want to say much about this book, but it is really sad. It’s one of my favourite Nicholas Sparks’ book. It is making me want to watch the movie again.
5. To Kill a Mockingbird
I loved this book so much! I would totally give my son the middle name of Atticus. To me, Atticus symbolizes morality and heroism. He provides his children with a lot of wisdom throughout the novel. He is an attorney, and can see the good in others. I just love his character a lot. I also like the name Harper, as well. It would be a cool middle name, too.
4. Safe Haven
I loved this book, as well. The name that I loved the most was Katie. I have always liked the name Katie. In this novel, Katie has demonstrated strength, and bravery, which is ironic because those are the traits of belonging to the Gryffindor house. I don’t want to say much about the book, because I don’t want to spoil it. But I would recommend it.
3. Alice in Wonderland
I love Alice, she is one of my favourite Disney characters. I love how imaginative she is. She is very curious, and loves to explore things to find out. She prefers books with pictures in them, instead of a book that just has words in it. Alice is Old German for noble.
2. The BFG
I have adored the name Sophie. She is a little girl who is in a Orphanage when the Big Friendly Giant takes her on an adventure in the middle of the night. She also is brave, and kind-hearted. Dahl’s first granddaughter is named Sophie.
Charlotte’s Web
I first read this book in the seventh grade, which was about 14 years ago. I remember bagging my mama to buy me the book and DVD box set, which she did. I just loved it so much. Which probably explains why I love the name Charlotte. She has shown a lot of heroism throughout the novel.
In this post I will be talking about books! Reading books is one of my favourite past times. It is such a relaxing and peaceful habit.

What have I finished reading?
I really enjoyed this book. To Kill A Mockingbird is such an amazing book. I would recommend it, although in my opinion To Kill A Mockingbird is the better one of the two, but this book is still amazing.
2. What am I currently reading?
This book has always been one of my favourites. It is so inspiring to me. I have seen the movie countless times, and I am going to reread this, because I can’t travel, nor do I feel comfortable at the moment to travel somewhere else. Even if it is still in my country, like I was planning. It’s like I’m travelling somewhere new even though I am not physically travelling anywhere. I like that effect in books. It’s also one of the books I recommend to others.
3. What will I read next?
Because of Tuesday’s Top Ten of blue covered books I owe, I thought now would be the perfect time to read this book. It will give me some added motivation and inspiration. I loved the book so much, so reading everyone’s stories will make me happy.

I will always love reading this book. I first read it in grade 10, and it gets better every time I read it. I plan on watching the movie soon.
2. What am I currently reading?
This book has sat on my bookshelf far too long without getting read. I remember buying it when it first came out, five years ago. I cannot wait to start this book tonight.
3. What will I read next?
I love everything about this book that I reread it every now and again for inspiration. It makes me miss the days where we had a bit more freedom to travel. I hope I can feel a bit more comfortable travelling next year. I just adore reading this book.
An update of the 20 Books of Summer 2020, I only manage to read 12 out of my 20 books. But now I will definitely be making more time for reading.
