Top 5 Wednesday is created by Gingerreadslainey. Each week there is a new bookish topic, where everyone can join and create their top 5 list. You can find more information on the Top 5 Wednesday goodreads group. This week’s topic is:
Books I Want to Re-Read
-Though it seems like we are all constantly chasing the next upcoming release, let’s take a trip down memory lane and talk about some books that we’d like to re-visit.
This is my first T5W in a long while, and the first one I do in November.
I rarely re-read books, I think it is because I don’t have many books I want to re-read. I wasn’t a big reader until 3 years ago, and a lot of the books I have read are pretty fresh in my head. The only books I have re-read are the Harry Potter series. This week’s theme made me realise that I actually have some books I want to re-read. I thought it would be hard to find books for my list, but it actually was pretty easy.
The Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins
It would be fun to re-read the hunger games books, and watch the movies after. I haven’t watched the 2 last movies. I need to watch them soon.
The Ugliest series by Scott Westerfeld
When I read these books a few years ago, I really liked them. I’m not sure I would like them as much as I did, if I read them now.
The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch
This is my favorite book. I only read it a couple of months ago, I fell in love with the story, characters and the world. I’m currently reading book 2 the series. I’m 100% sure I’m going to re-read this book i 2017.
The Road by Cormac McCarthy
I read this book back in high-school. I remember that we were going to watch the movie in class, but I liked the synopsis so much that I bought the book and read it instead. My teacher allowed me to read by myself instead of watching the movie, hehe. I remember liking it, it would be fun to re-read it in the future. If I can find my copy, I don’t know where it is.
The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy series by Douglas Adams
I really loved this series when I read it. I had a bind up of all the books in one. The bind up was really big, I never finish all of the books in it. It would be fun to re-read and finally finish them. Because the books are hilarious. Sadly I don’t know where it is. All of my books from high-school have disappeared after I moved.
Haha I didn’t know that this was the topic for today! Maybe I’ll write one quick post :’) I just posted a review of a book that I reread, The Last Kingdom by Bernard Cornwell. The Lies of Locke Lamora is also definitely on my list (the rest of the series as well :’)) and probably Temerair by Naomi Novik.
