Today's Top Ten Tuesday is:

Top Ten Books I Resolve to Read in 2013!


I always have a list of books I write down at the beginning of the year that I am GOING TO READ by golly, but then the end of the year rolls around and I realize I may have read one or two of my original list....whoops!  But this year, with the beginning of my new Juvenile Fiction Author Spotlight Feature, I KNOW that I will read these books!  My list today consists of 10 books by Juvenile Authors that I plan on spotlighting this year, so here is a little preview!  So without further ado, my resolution list!


 1.  Bridge to Terabithia by Katerine Paterson

2.  The BFG by Roald Dahl

3.  Coraline by Neil Gaiman




4.  The Tale of Despereaux by Kate DiCamillo

5.  Are You There God?  It's Me, Margaret by Judy Blume

6.  Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech




7.  Dear Mr. Henshaw by Beverly Cleary

8.  Maniac Magee by Jerry Spinelli

9.  There's A Boy in the Girls' Bathroom by Louis Sachar




10.  Crispin by Avi

11.  Frindle by Andrew Clements

12.  A Wind in the Door by Madeleine L'Engle


So here is a taste of the 12 Juvenile/Middle Grade authors I am featuring over the next year.  These are 12 books that I somehow never read growing up, but I am going to go back and read these, and many more, in 2013!  Here's to a new year!

What are you going to read this year?  Leave me a link to your resolutions and I'll come check it out!

  12. New to this blog as well! I need to get to Coraline this year too! Bridge to Terabithia was alright. It is rare but I actually loved the movie & enjoyed it way more than the book. I loved Maniac Magee! Good luck with your goal!
