Happy Tuesday!<\/p>\n

Top Ten Tuesday<\/a>\u00a0is a Bookish Meme hosted by\u00a0That Artsy Reader Girl<\/a>, and this week’s theme is BOOKS PUBLISHED BEFORE I WAS BORN<\/strong>!<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I thought this week’s topic might be difficult, but it turns out I have actually read and enjoyed fourteen books published before I was born! I think most (but surprisingly, not all!) of them were books I read for school, but I’m excited to show you ten books that were published before I was born (that I enjoyed)!<\/p>\n

And now without any further ado, here’s this week’s Top Ten Tuesday!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n\"TopThe Giver<\/strong> by Lois Lowry<\/a>

The haunting story centers on twelve-year-old Jonas, who lives in a seemingly ideal, if colorless, world of conformity and contentment. Not until he is given his life assignment as the Receiver of Memory does he begin to understand the dark, complex secrets behind his fragile community.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t
