Books I Want to ReRead [CC]

It is about a girl that has synesthesia, which is where you associate like, numbers and things with certain colors and it blew my mind because I had no idea that was a thing. I thought it was so cool and so interesting to learn that in a book and I don't remember much about the plot, but I remember learning about synesthesia and learning about what that was and this was a book that I think is probably YA but it was in that genre before YA was really a thing like it is now.

I read this in high school and I remember really enjoying it at the time. I read it before I joined Goodreads.

I think this has got to be one of the most beloved books for those of us that got to read it when we were elementary school age. I have reread this book multiple times. I think three times.

I remember sitting there and just being sucked into this book and Tana French has become very popular especially on Booktube over the years, but at the time I had no idea who she was.

I had done a weekend trip with a couple of friends that I had made while I was studying there and I... was so sucked into this book on the train like, I did not want to stop reading. I think this is the book that really kicked off my love for nonfiction.

I originally read this book for AP Literature in high school, so it was my senior year, my last year of high school, and I really enjoyed it at the time. I really liked the entire experience that this book gave me back then so I'm hoping I get it again this time re-reading it for the first time in 11 years?

I read The Golden Compass at the very end of 2019 with the hopes of continuing on to read The Subtle Knife and The Amber Spyglass. I read these books originally when I was about nine or ten so I knew that rereading them I was going to pick up on some different things that I didn't get previously and I read The Golden Compass and it was okay. I didn't enjoy the experience as much as I wanted, so I haven't read these two books yet, but I wanted to add them to this list because I would like to finish rereading the series, especially because these two are just sitting on my TBR shelf looking at me, right?

I have since read The Likeness, which is the next book in the Dublin Murder Squad series and then I've had the third book on my bookshelves for a long time and I still haven't read it so I'm almost thinking I should re-read In the Woods, hopefully enjoy it almost as much as I did originally, and then read The Likeness again, which I really didn't like as much and I don't know if that's because it felt like a letdown in comparison to In the Woods or if I just wasn't in the right headspace when I read it.

So as far as I understand it's sort of taken from different people's experiences, but fictionalized, and I remember really enjoying this because I think a lot of times with AP classes the books that you read are generally older classics, you know, Shakespeare, things like that, and this was a very modern book in comparison and I really liked learning about the Vietnam War through this lens.
