Top 10 Tuesday — Books I Wish I Could Read Again For The First Time

14 Oct

Happy Tuesday! Today’s TTT topic is books we wish we could read again for the first time. There are books that touched me in profound ways — the books that made me cry (in a good way)! They are generally the ones that are so good that I keep thinking about them over and over. Sometimes I think I am still in their world! IYKYK! So here are the books that are so good they made me wish I could savor them again like I had never read them.

    I have so many books I love dearly which I’d love to read again for the first time. They are precious to me and I hold them dear in my heart. Looks like you do the same thing.

    The Secret of Hummingbird Cake looks like it could be a lovely read.
