Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.
Being the slow reader that I am, I rarely sit down and read a whole book in one day. And if I do they would be short books. I honestly can't imagine myself reading a 500 or so pages book in one day. I really envy those who can do that >_< The books on this list are books my-slow-reading self finds manageable to get through in a day. If you are a slow reader like me, you may want to check this out ;-)
Anyway, on to the list. Those are in no particular order.
1- Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. RowlingThis book means alot to me. I will never get tired of it. A good relaxing afternoon read with the good old memories...
2- A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness
A Very short book with gorgeous illustrations. Probably it will keep you up all night. I'll let you know once I do read it but I heard from multiple people that it's very terrifying
3- Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine
This book is featured in alot of my lists. I can't help it! It's so enchanting.4- For One More Day by Mitch Albom
If you want to cry, read any of Mitch Albom's books.
5- The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum
I read this book several times as a child. Baum is not the best storyteller, but he had a wonderful imagination.
6- A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens
I never get tired of this story.
7- Number the Stars by Lois LowryIf you want a book that can touch your heart in a short amount of time, read this!
8- Coraline by Neil Gaiman
9- Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbitt
10- Flipped by Wendelin Van Draanen
Let me know what's on your list :)
Oh you have some great books on your list. I read Ella once and I enjoyed it. Oz! Love it! I still haven't read A Christmas Carol, I own it, maybe Ill read it during Christmas this year and not just watch the movie.

Wonderful list! I loved Ella Enchanted growing up! Mitch Albom is incredible too. I read Tuesdays with Morrie for my freshman seminar class in college. Loved it.
ReplyDeleteFantastic list! Have a great week!
Our Top Ten!

A Monster Calls was so emotional and I loved it too. Fantastic list!
ReplyDeleteA book doesn't need to be long to be great as evidenced by your list. I need to check out Coraline now, because I know others you listed are wonderful, thanks.
ReplyDeleteOh Number the Stars is so good! I totally forgot about that book! And I'm glad you agree with me on Tuck Everlasting. It's definitely a keeper!
ReplyDeleteI love Mitch Albom's books - you're so right. I think I've cried in every single one that I've read.
ReplyDeleteGreat list! I have yet to get around to Gaiman's Coraline. Thanks for dropping by my blog a few days ago, happy weekend! =D
ReplyDeleteOoh, great choices! Ella Enchanted and Tuck Everlasting are two I've wanted to read since before I can remember. And one of my goals for the year is to read Neil Gaiman - I've never read any of his books!
