Brilliant to see you amanda! Thankfully the blog seems to be working. hope the layout is ok! Great list btw
Thanks Emily and thanks so much for doing this. Do you want us to put our book reviews here too? I have a book review group blog that I'm part of (5-Squared, not the Book Book), but don't mind crossposting for my list if that's what you're aiming for.
Yeah that would be great amanda! and make sure to link to your other website too! I might stick it up on the nav bar.
Wonderful! Okay I know I'm such a dork to be so excited by spreading around book reviews, but I am!! :D
aw your not a dork, or at least your not the only one if you are. i love book reviews!
Wow, I can't believe I haven't seen many of these. This is one list I will be going over to see what I can add to my TBR wish list.
Good thing I started a spreadsheet. LOL
J.C. - I admit that some of them are very modern and not exactly classics, but fun YA titles that I want to read. I used to ignore modern books altogether because I don't like a lot of modern adult fiction/literature, so I'm trying to make more effort to read modern work. I know that's completely opposite of what most people are doing, but I've read tons and tons of classics over the last decade, so my reading gaps are mostly modern. Having said that, mine's still about 50/50...
