Happy Tuesday, Homo sapiens! Welcome to another Top 5 Tuesday!
Top 5 Tuesday was originally hosted by Shanah at Bionic Bookworm and now found its home with Meeghan at Meeghan Reads.
Top 5 Books You Would Re-Rate
I rated The Secret Lives of Baba Segi’s Wives 4-stars but I think I can easily give it 5-stars if I get to reread it.
My Cousin Rachel is one of the many books I want to reread. I first rated this as 3-stars but I think a reread will give it a higher rating from me.
I rated The Dutch House 3-stars on my first reading. I remember loving the book when I began reading it and somewhere through the story it just went downhill. I might have missed something or whatever but I would love to reread this and I think the chances are high for it to be rated higher than 3-stars.
Demian is the book that made me decide that Hermann Hesse’s works aren’t my cup of tea. Some of my seniors though regard Demian very highly and they encourage me to reread it and then decide. So this could either rate higher or lower than my previous rating of 2-stars if ever I decide a reread.
Half of a Yellow Sun was a very educational and informative read for me and also my first experience of Adichie Chimamanda Ngozi. I’ve rated this 4-stars because it left me wondering where Kainene is and what happened to her. Until now, I am still wondering of the same thing. When I get to reread this, I probably will rate it 5 perfect stars because I know I loved this book but I still hope to find clues or probably figure out or give my own ending of what happened to Kainene.
How about you? What books do you consider to re-rate?
This is such an interesting topic! Now I’m going to be thinking about all the books I would rate differently haha

Indeed it is! I just realized I have a lot to re-rate when I did this so it wasn’t easy to choose just 5. I just wrote whatever came to mind first. 😉 Thanks for visiting.

Interesting topic actually but it wasn’t easy because I realized there are a lot of books I may need or would want to re-rate, just wrote whatever came to mind first. 😉

If I reread Kafka, I’d sure rate it higher than it’s 5-star rating now. 😉
