Top Ten Tuesday: Books I Wish I Had Read As a Child
I read a lot as a kid. My idea of getting fresh air was taking my book outside to read! My nose was in a book constantly, but somehow I missed all of these books! Some I’ve read as an adult and a few are still on my list!

I did not read many ‘classics’ as a kid. I did read Bridge to Terabithia because a friend was reading it – but I was always perplexed by novels that were published decades earlier!

I didn’t read Bridge to Terabithia until I was an adult! And I read a Tree Grows in Brooklyn in my late teens but loved it! It’s always interesting as to what “sticks” and what never comes across your TBR pile as a kid!

Recently read all of a kind family as an adult and it was so delightful. I’m sure I would have loved it as a child.

It was one I never came across, so at some point, I’ll have to give it a try!
