To take part, just pick your top ten, and add the link here.
I had to really think about this. There's a bunch of books I read as a child that I don't remember at all, and books I don't remember the titles for. (Lots of Nancy Drew books when I was in Grade School). The titles are linked to the GR page since some of them I read before social media and the internet as we know it now existed.
Not remembering them says nothing about the quality, I mean some were not good books, but I have a garbage can memory. But generally, unless it's just been too long ago, if I don't remember a book it's because I didn't like it so I've slightly altered this list some; I really liked some I didn't.
I read this book years ago. 5th grade, at the latest, I think it was. I remember that I didn't know how to properly pronounce the main character's (Hugh) name. So in my mind, I was totally mispronouncing it. I've been trying for years to find this book so I can re-read it.
This book I "read" in 7th grade. It was a book we read as a class, and I was a really slow reader back then so I was never on track with everybody else. I would like to re-read this book, and I think I have it floating around somewhere on my bookshelf.
This was a book from early in my blogging days when I was new to blogging and not so good at reviewing. It was one of the first ones I got from NetGalley and I don't know if I have it anymore.
Another one from the fairly early days of book blogging. And I remember nothing, and from my shoddy review, it looks like a book I wouldn't want to re-read.
Even re-reading the synopsis and my review, I remember next to nothing. Vague reviews aren't so great when trying to remember what I read.
One of the more recent reads on the list. And I remember nothing.
Another pretty recent read. And I am really bummed that I don't remember much of this beyond what I wrote in my review. But It was a book that I enjoyed a little more most of the books on this list. It was published in 2013, and I read it in 2016 the sequel seems to still be in the works and I would like it now.
Less upset that I don't remember this book beyond hating it. It was engaging, but it's also hard to look away from a car crash.
This is one of those books that's the start of a new series, and also the middle of another. And that makes for a pretty "meh" book. Relying too much on reading the other books, but being too boring to inspire anybody to actually do that.
According to my review and rating, I liked this book a lot... but I don't remember reading it nor do I fee the need to ever re-read it.
I remember liking A Wrinkle In Time too but I couldn't tell you much about it now! Oops. The struggles of a bookworm!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of these but A Wrinkle in Time is definitely on my TBR, especially since the movie is coming out :D I hope you get to re-read a few of them soon :P

I was the same way with A Wrinkle in Time. It was one of my favorites as a kid but I remembered absolutely nothing about it until I listened to it on a whim last year. It was essentially like reading a book I'd never read before! It's definitely worth a reread!
ReplyDeleteYes to A Wrinkle in Time! I think I read it in 5th grade and desperately need to read it (and the others) again soon.
ReplyDeleteHere is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thanks!
I loved A Wrinkle in Time but confess it is very fuzzy in my memory, too, and I re=read to my girls when they were young, and it still has formed a lasting memory in my brain. My TTT Books I Don't Remember well
