Happy Top Ten Tuesday! This week’s theme is books I wish I had read as a child. Some of these are books I’ve read as an adult that I know I would have liked more as a child, and others are books that either came out once I was an adult or that I, for whatever reason, haven’t read.
The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan
Eragon by Christopher Paolini
The Bad Beginning by Lemony Snicket
Wonder by R.J. Palacio
The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
The Giver by Lois Lowry
Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson
The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien
Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer

I read most of these as a kid. The Giver was one of my favorites in middle school. I was a little too old by the time Percy Jackson came out, but recently decided to give it a read for the first time. It’s a fun book even for somebody in their 30s. I like that Percy isn’t the typical hero.

I didn’t read any of these as a kid! Most of them I read in middle school or high school. I wish I’d read The Giver and Artemis Fowl sooner.

So true. I completely wish I had read Wonder or The Lemony Snicker Series, earlier.

I never read Percy Jackson when I was kid, still wish I had instead of being it up when I was thirteen. I probably have liked reading The Bad Beginning or Wonder sooner instead of waiting for a while to read it.

I definitely think I would have enjoyed some of these more if I’d read them earlier!
