Welcome to another Top Ten Tuesday! I hope you are off to a great start to your week. This week’s topic is books that you wish you could read again for the first time. Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl and you can head over there to see other readers' books they wish they could read for the first time or their twist on today's topic.
The first book that comes to mind is Pepper Basham's Hope Between the Pages. I thought this book was a literary genius! You can see all my thoughts here.
The next one that comes to mind is Cynthia Ruchti's Facing the Dawn. This book is rich, profound, and deeply moving. You can read my full review here.
The Last Sin Eater by Francine Rivers. This one had a profound effect on me, once I caught the meaning! (yeah, I was a little slow). There is also a movie about it now, but the book is better.
Nor Forsake by Julie Presley. I read this one about 5 years ago. It had me laughing and crying.
A Man Worth Shaving For by Michelle Pennington. A great read with accepting your body image and lots of humor.
Book Love by Debbie Tung. I am not a graphic novel fan, but this book is for all book nerds, avid readers everywhere! It's humor can only be appreciated by true book lovers.
Sway by Amy Matayo. It is original with lots of grit and character.
On Every Side by Karen Kingsbury. This one is fantastic for what all we are going through now with cendership and condemnation.
Because You're Mine by Colleen Coble. A gothic type novel set in South Carolina with lots of mystery and intrigue.
From This Moment by Kim Vogel Sawyer. Despite the circumstances the characters find themselves in they can still find hope. Isn't that a message we all need today?
What books do you wish you could read again for the first time? Have you read any of the ones on my list? Be sure to click on the link below to join in today's fun!

Lydia, it was fabulous! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteGreat mix of reads! A Man Worth Shaving For sounds like a super fun read :)
ReplyDeleteIt was hilarious! I picked it because the title made me laugh out loud! Thanks for stopping by!

ReplyDeleteHi Dedra, thanks for stopping by!
DeleteBecause you’re mine sounds interesting!
ReplyDeleteMy list: https://fiftytwo.blog/2021/08/24/ttt-ten-books-everyone-should-read/
Hi Lori, thanks for stopping by!
DeleteThe only book on this list I've read is From This Moment, which I didn't love as much as others. The Last Sin Eater is on a list of books that I don't want to forget about, but I'm not quite willing to add to my TBR. I'm worried it'll be too heavy for me. But then, it was recommended by my sister, and most of her recommendations so far have turned out to be great for me, so...okay, it's time to move it to the TBR proper. It's not the only book in your list that I'm going to look at more closely either. Great list; thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThe Last Sin Eater is worth reading at least one time :) It is a heavier read but saving it for when you know you can handle that would be good too. Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteI loved Book Love too!
ReplyDeleteI also read her one for Introverts too :)
DeleteI have not heard of any of these! great list!
ReplyDeleteThanks Wendy, hope you found some you would like to read :)
DeleteA Man Worth Shaving For sounds hilarious! Great list!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the first 3 in the series and need to read the 4th, they really hit my tickle spot :)
DeleteI've not read any of these, but several of them sound intriguing! Thanks for visiting Long and Short Reviews!
ReplyDeleteI hope you find one to try :) Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteBook Love seems SO cute! Why have I not read it yet? I love graphic novels.
ReplyDeleteHere's my Top Ten Tuesday list.
You will love it! You may even be able to find it in the library, I read it there first, then book us our own copy since we are a family of book nerds :)
DeleteBook Love is such a fun read! I love that one. :)
ReplyDeleteMy whole family loved and enjoyed it, we are avid book readers raising avid book readers :)!
DeleteI haven't heard of most of these, but there are definitely some I need to take a closer look at. Thanks for the recs!
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT!
Hey Susan, thanks for stopping by! Hope you found something to enjoy :)
DeleteA Man Worth Shaving For is a great title!
ReplyDeleteThat's what first caught my attention. I have read the first four in the series and need to read the fourth, they are great.
DeleteI loved Sway, still do. And I've been dying to read Pepper's latest. I came thisclose to including a Francine Rivers title on my list this week.
ReplyDeleteI almost put End of the World by Amy Mayato as well, have you read that one?
DeleteI loved Sway, still do. And I've been dying to read Pepper's latest. I came thisclose to including a Francine Rivers title on my list this week.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any on your list. There's nothing better than that first reading experience and a book hangover!
ReplyDeleteI agree! I rarely reread books but I would make an exception for these :) Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI love Amy Matayo's books, but somehow missed Sway. I'll have to remedy that. And I've been wanting to read that Pepper Basham book. I've been hearing such great things about it. :)
ReplyDeleteI have not read Amy's most recent books (although I have them on my Kindle), but do enjoy her books. I have only read 2 of Pepper's books but have loved them both.
DeleteColleen Coble is incredibly popular at my library. I might have to give her a try sometime.
ReplyDeleteCheck out my TTT
Hi Luaren, I think she is popular in all the libraries :)
DeleteGreat list!
ReplyDeleteWhen you get the chance, I hope you stop over at my blog and take a read: https://readbakecreate.com/10-books-i-would-love-to-see-as-a-movie/
Thanks Pam :)
DeleteWhat a lovely list, Cindy! You've inspired me to add several of these titles to my TBR. Thanks for stopping by my TTT earlier :)
ReplyDeleteAw, yay!!! I love when others pick up my book recommendations, that is why I do this :) You made my day, thanks for stopping by!!!
DeleteBook Love looks like something I've definitely got to check out!
ReplyDeleteLaura, I think it is one of those books that any book lover will enjoy, regardless of our favorite genres :)
DeleteI Still need to read Because You're mine and the Kim Vogel one.
ReplyDeleteThe Sin eater is the only book by Francine I didn't enjoy!
Sarita, I was so unsure of it, but once I understood the concept it really made me appreciate what Christ has done for us. I also think it is one of those books that you have to be in the mood for because I remember reading it and thinking how weird it was, until I got it.
DeleteI don't know any of the books on your list except for "Book Love" and if all the other ones are only half as great as that one, it is a wonderful list. Some lovely covers there.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my TTT earlier.
Thanks Marianne, I appreciate you stopping by!
DeleteThe last Sin Eater sounds really interesting!
ReplyDeleteHi Louise, thanks for stopping by. I enjoyed it but also understand it's not everyone's cup of tea.
DeleteI haven't heard of any of these titles but I do like the sound of quite a few of them! Might have to check them out :) Thanks for stopping by my post earlier this week!
ReplyDeleteI hope you find a winner ;)! Thanks for stopping by :)
DeleteA Man Worth Shaving For sounds like fun! I also really like the book of that graphic novel for book lovers. Definitely looks like one every reader would enjoy. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Suzanne! Yes, Book Love is for everyone! It is awesome. A Man Worth Shaving For was a lot of fun, as were the next two in the series ;)! I still haven't gotten to the fourth one yet. Thanks for stopping by.
