What about you - what are some of your favorites? Did any of mine make your list?
Awesome list. I have some favorites from it as well, like Elantris. :)
ReplyDeleteLots of awesome books on that list! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat list. I've been wanting to read The Night Circus, so it's good to hear you liked it. I also loved Janette Rallison's Fairy Godmother series.
ReplyDeleteAww, glad to see my book on the list! This is a fantastic list to look over. Will steal some books. You have good taste. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Nisa - Yes Elantris was very cool - especially cool as an audiobook. I couldn't stop listening.
ReplyDeleteHi Sara - glad you think it's awesome - thanks for commenting.
Hi Tiana - The Night Circus was very cool. Don't be put off by the F-bomb right at the beginning. It only happens once and then the book is profanity free. Janette Rallison's Fairy Godmother series is so fun and hilarious.
Hi Michelle - Of course your book is on here - I'm so proud of my friends. Thanks for saying I have good taste - I think you'd enjoy almost all the books on my list.
Hi Michelle
Mary,
ReplyDeleteI always love seeing your reading lists. Some shared favorites here and some books I'm excited to read (thanks for the recommendations!).
Currently reading, The Long Way Home, Gail Caldwell's memoir on friendship. Definitely at the top of my 2011 list.
Happy New Year!!!
Hi Lori - it's been a long time. Hope things are going well with you. I haven't heard of the long way home - I'll have to check it out. Happy New Year to you.
ReplyDeleteQuite a list.

Lovely experience bookwise this week - saw a film with Maggie Smith and tucked away in the credits that it was based upon one of my favourite books The Chimneys of Green Knowe.
