Top Ten Tuesday- First Books I Reviewed

Rissi @ Finding Wonderland submitted this wonderful idea to That Artsy Reader Girl. Today, I'll be listing the first 10 books I ever reviewed! It'll be a trip down memory lane for all of us!




I reviewed this book way before my blog was even about books! It's the first book I ever reviewed on here- and I have to say, it got me pretty hooked to book reviews! 



I'm still not sure what I was thinking when I wrote this review! It was a paragraph about suspense and then a little bit about genre... 



I've done my fair share of Rainbow Rowell reviews over the years- and while this wasn't the first book of hers I read, it was certainly the first book of hers I had the courage to review!

A historical fiction that tries to tell the story of Anne Frank from Peter's eyes.



Reviews are getting better- this one definitely has more details than the Carry On review. 



I think this is where I started figuring out that I loved Historical Fictions- and hopefully my review shows that! 



Not a huge fan of my review- but definitely a fan of this book! I'd recommend it to any type of reader!



This book brought me into my second Big Book Challenge, and thankfully the world of better reviews! 



I distinctly going through a phase where I read just Christie's- but I'm not sure why I didn't review more... 



Back in the days when I used to raid my mom's collection for books to read- not the other way around!

So there you have it- the first 10 books I ever reviewed (and the links to my reviews)! Have you ever gone back and looked at your first anythings (artworks, compositions, performances)? What did it feel like? Let me know in the comments below!

    Do you think you'll ever reread or re-review any of these books?

    My first reviews (on my blog and even on Epinions.com) were just general reviews as well. Then I decided to focus on books. There's enough to write about just there.

    I hadn't looked back at the first books I reviewed in a very long time, so this week's topic brought back some memories. Here is my Top Ten Tuesday.

    Carry On was so much fun! I can't wait to read the sequel. :)

    Great topic! That would be fun to look back. And I remember reading most of these reviews when you wrote them! I STILL need to read Sarah's Key - it's been on my bookshelf for so many years!

    And can you believe I have still not read a single Rainbow Rowell novel? I know, I need to!

    Just a reminder - I kicked off my annual Big Book Summer challenge this weekend! I hope you'll join the fun again this year :)

The Hero, by Rabindranath Tagore

 The narrative poem" The Hero" was written by Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore. Set in a young boy's imaginations this narrative has all the necessary elements and is rich in imagery. The characters, plot, setting, theme, climax and idea are all very clearly outlined.  The setting of the poem falls within the boy's imagination. It is described to have 'spiky grass' and a 'narrow broken path'. It is also mentioned that the country is 'strange and dangerous'. The rurality of the setting is further accentuated when Tagore talks of the 'cattle' and 'wide fields'.

I cannot remember my mother by Rabindranath Tagore

 The poem has been titled " I cannot remember my mother". It attracted me for some reason, for I thought that surely, a poem couldn't be completely empty. There had to be some form of nostalgia, or memory in a poem about no remembrance.  I realized after reading it, that I was right. In fact, the poem's title can be considered an oxymoron. However, the extent to which this poem is nostalgic, the amount of tiny details in this poem, wow. But I don't suppose Tagore was a Literature Nobel Laureate for nothing. This poem has sensitized its audience to the poet's colossal loss, though the poet ,it seems,has made no effort to do so. There is nothing superfluous about his writing, and the poem seems like a true expression of his love for his mother. It talks about how his mother managed to leave her presence on everything before she passed away, and how those little memories of his,form an incomplete memory of his mother.

One by Shawnee Kellie

  The poem "One" by Shawnee Kellie is a very interesting and thought-provoking piece of writing. The poem spreads the message that it is not only a large group of people that can make a change, but one idea, one thought, one human that can help make the world a better place.
