Happy Tuesday! Since school has officially begun for most
students, this week’s Top Ten Tuesday is all about back to school. It is a
freebie, however, which means I get to post about anything I want—back to
school related of course—so I decided I wanted to talk about some school books I
have read. However, these aren’t just stuffy textbooks, but rather are some
books I read back in middle and high school that I really loved. I still
remember reading all of these, and I definitely remember really enjoying them. Honestly,
I would still read them now, even though I don’t have to!
Murder on the Orient
Express by Agatha Christie
Children of the River
by Linda Crew
A Tale of Two Cities
by Charles Dickens
The Scarlet Letter by
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Nothing to Fear by
Jackie French Koller
The Mixed Up Files of
Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler, The View from Saturday, and My Father’s Daughter by
E. L. Konigsburg
Jacob Have I Loved by
Katherine Paterson
A Tree Grows in
Brooklyn by Betty Smith
The Witch of
Blackbird Pond by Elizabeth George Speare
Around the World in
Eighty Days by Jules Verne
Those are my top ten school books I absolutely loved! What
are some school books you really enjoyed?
Happy reading!

Children of the River was such a great book! I keep thinking I want to go back and reread it. And A Tree Grows in Brooklyn totally made my TTT list, too! How funny. :) Great list! Here's my TTT.
ReplyDeleteIt really was! I know, I want to go back and reread so many of the books on this list myself. Really?! That's so funny! Thank you!
DeleteBoth of my kids thought I was nuts when I told them I loved The Scarlet Letter. Hahaha.
ReplyDeleteHere is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
Haha so many people tell me that too! It really is good though, people who don't like it are the ones who are nuts!
DeleteI love E.L. Konigsburg! I just read one of her more obscure books, (George), about a boy who has a secret twin living inside of him. It was so strange, but her writing is so good, it made me stick with it. Jacob Have I Loved is on my TBR.
ReplyDeleteMe too! Oh, that sounds so interesting! I haven't read that one, but now it is definitely on my list! It does sound kind of strange, but everything she writes is just so perfect. That's so cool!
DeleteI haven't read any of the books in your post... So I have new to me books to explore!
ReplyDeleteHere's a link to my TTT post this week: https://captivatedreader.blogspot.com/2018/08/top-ten-tuesday-back-to-schoollearning.html
Wow, that's so crazy! But I'm glad I could help you add some new things to your to-read list!
