I always tell myself that I am going to go back and read some of the books that I loved from my pre-high school days. I wondered if those books would still have the same feel to me now that they did back then. I remember my first read of Little Women and how emotional it made me, the second time around it did not have that same impact. In fact, I felt it a bit preachy.
That is a long way of saying that I have to re-read some of my childhood favorites. I am going to take it easy on myself with this one since I have some lofty reading goals for 2015 to make up for 2014.
Level:
Déjà vu (re-read 4 books)
Books:
- Lord of the Flies by William Golding
- Black Girl, Lost by Donald Goines
- Are You There God, It's Me Margaret by Judy Blum
- The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton
Rules for the challenge can be found below (copied from original post at My Reader's Block)
Rules:
*Once you choose your challenge level, you are locked in for at least that many books. If you find that you're lost in a nostalgic haze and want to tackle a higher level, then you are certainly welcome to upgrade. You cannot change down, however.
*Challenge runs from January 1 to December 31, 2015.
*You may sign up anytime from now until November 3rd, 2015. Any book read from January 1 through December 31, 2015 will count no matter when you sign up.
*Books may be used to count for other challenges as well.
*Everyone who completes their challenge level will be entered in a year-end drawing for a book-related prize package.
*Please post about the challenge on your blog.
*Please sign up using the Linky below. Use a direct link to your challenge post as your url. Please don't connect to just your home page. Links to a list on GoodReads or other social media sites are also acceptable. Please post about the challenge on your blog if you have one .
*Please use the Review Page [coming at the beginning of the year] to post review links and a final wrap-up post when you finish the challenge. Reviews are not required--but I would love to see what you think about the books that you've read if you do review.
*No blog or GoodReads site? That's okay. Post a comment here to announce your entry into the challenge and when you have completed the challenge just post a comment at the review site with a list of your books.
Good luck with the challenge. I haven't read any of those books.
