This weekly meme is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.
I have been a reader from the beginning, so there are a lot of books from my childhood to sift through. And a lot of my favorites I have reread many times (in fact, I'm working on a reread of the Chronicles of Narnia right now). So for this list, I tried to pick titles that I haven't reread recently, if at all. This was harder - and a lot more fun - than I expected. :)

Wren to the Rescue by Sherwood Smith (This is probably my #1 want-to-reread. I loved this book so much that I pretty much wrote fan fiction about it.)
Caddie Woodlawn by Carol Ryrie Brink (Oh, how I wanted to be Caddie!)
Five Little Peppers and How They Grew by Margaret Sidney (I honestly don't remember much about this book - just the feeling that I loved it.)
The Chronicles of Prydain by Lloyd Alexander (Fantasy and funny. Doesn't get much better.)
A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle (This book was just so different from anything else I had read.)

Harriet the Spy by Louise Fitzhugh (If I couldn't be Caddie Woodlawn, then I wanted to be Harriet.)
Eleven Kids, One Summer by Ann M. Martin (I loved her Baby-Sitters Club books, but I liked this one more. The idea of huge families (11 kids!) always fascinated me.)
Beezus and Ramona by Beverly Cleary (Ramona is amazing.)
Adam of the Road by Elizabeth Janet Gray (The idea of wandering from town to town as a minstrel is quite intriguing.)
The Silver Pencil by Alice Dalgliesh (I loved to write as a kid, and this book was one of my inspirations.)
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith (Okay, I had my list of ten and then I remembered this one. No way I could leave this book off the list!)
