    I picked Harry Potter. The Hunger Games is an excellent selection as well. I didn't list it because I read it like two months ago. :p I really need to read Gone With The Wind ... That should go on the Before I'm Thirty list. Seriously.

    Yep, Harry Potter is going to be a popular one for sure! Rebecca is a really good choice too! I remember the first time I read that book - good memories! :)

    Dr Seuss anything! The very first book I ever read, all on my own, was Green Eggs and Ham. I should have added that to my list!

    Great list, I'd definitely put Harry Potter and Hunger Games series on my list. I would also add a couple Jamie Lee Curtis picture books that were really fun. Oh, and Laura Ingalls Wilder

    I definitely agree with your last two picks. Both series (Harry Potter & The Hunger Games) definitely made a very strong impact in my life and it would be lovely to experience it all over again.

    Great list! And thanks for stopping by my blog.

    I never even thought of Dr. Seuss! It would be great to rediscover his books as if I'd never read them before!!!

    Harry and The Hunger Games made my list too. I would put To Kill a Mockingbird on my list, but I am reading it for the first time right now. I'm trying to savor it as much as I can. :)

    HG and HP were both on my list! I didn't think of A Wrinkle in Time, but it really is great!

    I've never read A Wrinkle in Time, I always hear so many wonderful things about it that I really need to fix that! The Shipping News is one of my husband's fave books, it's been on my TBR list for a while.
