Ramblings and Booking through Thursday
Well, I totally missed this week’s TBR deadline, because I’m only about halfway through the book I was going to use for it. But I’ll get the review up soon–if not tomorrow then at the start of next week.
This weekend, I’m going to get some teeth pulled. I plan to spend the time with my parents, but I’ll be bringing my books. I’m not sure I’ll actually feel much like reading anything while I’m in freaking agony, but we’ll see what I accomplish.
I’m also looking forward to an exciting new development on this blog, which I will tell you about when the time is right. For now, though, it’s a secret.
Anyway, here’s this week’s Booking through Thursday:
What book would you love to be able to read again for the first time?
This is a really good question. Several books spring to mind. Dreams Underfoot by Charles De Lint, Geek Love by Katharine Dunn, A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle, and most recently, Tender Morsels by Margo Lanagan. There was something magical about all of these books for me, and I suspect that subsequent rereadings, while satisfying, won’t provide that same level of magic I experienced the first time.
I haven’t read the books you listed but I do have Tender Morsels in my pile and I look forward to reading it after reading a few good reviews on it.
I haven’t read any of them. I came out with 4books out of many books
Sorry to hear about your teeth pulling! I hope you get through it okay!
I would love to read A Wrinkle in Time again for the first time, too! I loved it when I was a kid and I have read it so many times since that I remember it pretty well!
A Wrinkle in Time would be a good one to read for the first time.
A Wrinkle in Time- I read that for the first time about a year and a half ago. Amazing! Never read it as a kid!
Never heard of the books you read.. I have quite a list I would love to read for the first time
A wrinkle in Time is a great second read!
BTT: Second a first
Loved A Wrinkle In Time! Good luck with your teeth.
I haven’t read any of those books. I’ll have to add one or two to the TBR list.
I haven’t read the ones you mentioned. I posted one but really, if given a week to think about it, I could come up with more.
On another note, I really like your blog design!
I named Wrinkle in Time as well.
Here is A Second First Time
Books that have surprise ending or a twist would be refreshing to me.
I don’t know if I should feel embarrassed or not, I haven’t read any of those books.
Here is my book
Like the thought of A Wrinkle in Time. Did not think to name a children’s book but that makes perfect sense. To revisit a favorite with the eyes of a child.
I picked The Name of the Rose.
I’ve only just finished The Other Hand by Chris Cleave and I’d love to read it again for the first time. I heartily recommend it. Visit my blog to see why. Happy reading!
