Someone told me about Boy's Life long ago, and, even though it wasn't my usual sort of read, I found a copy and read it...and...wow...amazing.
ReplyDeleteOh, Deb - this makes me so happy. I'm so glad you gave it a chance!
DeleteCharlotte’s Web is a great choice! I loved that story, too.

It's such a beautiful book!
DeleteBoy's Life and Swan Song are two of my favorites😁
ReplyDeleteMy top two of all time!
DeleteJust when I thought I would not have read any of the books featured this week, you pulled in two from my youth. Charlotte's Web crushed my soul and left me a puddle, but it is a beautiful story of friendship.
ReplyDeleteCharlotte's Web is so beautiful. And yes - I'm a puddle, too, for sure.
DeleteRebecca has been on my radar for years. My mother has encouraged me to read it forever but I've never made it a priority. Bad daughter. lol
ReplyDeleteOh, you should read it!! We are a little reversed as I've been trying to get my mom to read it. Haha.
DeleteGreat list of classic books. I loved Charlotte's Web growing up. Here is my TTT: https://herseriallife.com/top-10-books-written-over-ten-years-ago/
ReplyDeleteHave a great week 😀
I didn't read Charlotte's Web until I was an adult. I was shocked at how beautiful it was.
DeleteI have never read Princess Bride, which seems so weird to me since I loved the movie! And oh I hate spiders so much but I loved Charlotte's web as a kid lol.
ReplyDeleteIf you loved the movie, you NEED to read the book!! I think it will be surprised. It's absolutely wonderful. You know - book spiders must not count. lol
DeleteSo many great choices!
ReplyDeleteI just love them all.
DeleteOh, you have some wonderful picks here! Charlotte's Web, The Lord of the Rings (that one made my list), The Princess Bride, And Then There Were None, Rebecca... honestly, your first three and the last book are the only ones I haven't read.
ReplyDeleteI focused on books that are older than I am for my list today.
If you can only read one more book in your life - make it Boy's Life.
DeleteWhat a great list! So many awesome books from so many fun genres. :D
ReplyDelete:D!
DeleteI almost put Rebecca on my list. I do have And Then There Were None on it, though. I really enjoyed reading Charlotte's Web, BUT I have a terrible fear of spiders and I had to cover Charlotte's picture the whole time and the ending with the flying baby spiders gave me nightmares. LOL.
ReplyDeleteMy TTT
Haha! Yeah - you can't think about Charlotte and her babies as real spiders. :)
DeleteGreat list! I've read half of these books. My favorite of them is probably THE PRINCESS BRIDE. It's such a good book and movie. Classic!
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT!
I love The Princess Bride so much!
DeleteOh - I used to read Siddons....not sure why I dropped her. Too many other things kept slipping in front I guess. Enjoyed Princess Bride, but it didn't make my list. :)

I think The House Next Door is the only book by Siddons that I've read. I'd love to see what her other stuff is like, though.
DeleteI loved Charlotte's Web as a kid! I missed it out of my list this week as I had to narrow down somewhere but it was one of my favourite books back then.

I had to leave out favorites, too, this week!
