Top Ten Tuesday: Books with Sensory Reading Memories

Top Ten Tuesdays are a weekly meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl.
As always this list is in no particular order.

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.


July 24: Books with Sensory Reading Memories (where I was, what time of year it was, who I was with, what I was eating, etc.) (Submitted by Jessica @ A Cocoon of Books)


Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone

I was seven, it was a much higher reading level than I was capable of, and I spent several months stubborning my way through this book.

19 Years Later – My Harry Potter Story

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

I was re-reading this book for a book report in sixth grade, and was reading as I was walking between classes and in the span of about five minutes I tripped on the stairs, picked my stuff up, continued to read, and proceeded to walk into a concrete pillar and freak my teacher out.

Twilight

I was nine, and my grandmother bought me the book because my older cousin had liked it. I got sent to the guidance counselor because the teacher thought I was too young to be reading it, and my mom had to tell them to give me my book back.

I read the first 5 books of the Mortal Instruments in the span of a month during testing when we were stuck in homeroom in the 7th grade, in the dark, with a class of screaming people none of whom I was close friends with around me.

I finished reading this book when we had a substitute for 8th grade english, and I cried and freaked the poor woman out.
