Top Ten Tuesdays – books I used to re-read again when I was a teenager

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created at The Broke and the Bookish in June 2010 – there’s a different topic for every week.  This week’s topic is a Throwback Freebie- so I chose to write about I’ve slowed down a bit with re-reading books recently.
