Happy Tuesday!! This week’s Top Ten Tuesday topic (hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl) asks us to share ten of our childhood favorites. Instead, I’m going to put a bit of a twist on it and share ten books I read as an adult that are usually people’s childhood favorites. Surprisingly, there are a lot of them!
What books did you read later in life than many other bookworms? What were your favorite books when you were a kid? Let me know in the comments section below!
Yours,
HOLLY
Tuck Everlasting is one of those childhood books that has stuck with me for life. Such a good story.
My TTT.

Great list! I love Fantastic Mr. Fox – it’s always been one of my favourite Dahl novels. Coraline and Holes are so good, too. I still need to read Anne of Green Gables!

Oh my god, I love Tuck Everlasting! That was such a good one. And I did the same thing with Anne of Green Gables! I didn’t read that until I was an adult, but now I love it ❤️

Despite having been very into Roald Dahl when I was a kid, I don’t think I ever read The Fabulous Mister Fox

Great twist on the topic. For me basically every book aimed at kids I’m reading later than every one else. Never really used to read as a kid and only got into it way later. Even Harry Potter I read for the first time a little over a year ago. Matilda is actually one book I did read! For my ttt I twisted the topic as well, into books I want my future child to read 🙂

I read Harry Potter when I was in college, and at the time I really enjoyed the series a lot! I’m yet to read Coraline though it is one I’m very interested in trying.

Would definitely recommend Coraline!! It’s a bit creepy, but a really great story 🙂 (a classic Neil Gaiman combo haha)

I still adore Anne of Green Gables! When I first read the entire series at age 8 or 9, the first book was my favorite. As I’ve grown older and am in more of the situations that Anne is facing in the later books, I’ve found that my favorite has changed to the ones I relate to more now. I really love how much I’ve been able to grow with them and it’s still my favorite series for that reason.

Awww that’s so sweet! How many books are in the series? I’ve only read the first one but would love to read the others!

There are 9 total. The first three are the best in my opinion. She wrote some of them out of order and at different periods in her life, so some of the later ones have a very different feel. They’re still very good though!

Omg Tuck Everlasting and George’s Marvelous Medicine! Can’t believe I forgot about those books. Looking back on childhood memories, there were really so many good books. I’m so curious what it’d be like to read them now. Great post!
