Thanks for posting this! I hadn't seen it yet. I've read some, but not all. Gotta put them on my TBR list!
ReplyDeleteI sense a new reading challenge here. Because the books I have read on this list are so good, I have a feeling I need to read the rest! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteOoo. I've read a few, have some on my TBR list, but most importantly some to add to the list. Perfect with summer coming. Thanks for sharing this.
ReplyDeleteTerrific--some of my favorites are here! And the rest are going on my TBR list. Thanks, Mary Lee!
ReplyDeleteI second what Laura said. I am going to be visiting my library a lot! I already have a huge TBR pile, but this is not a problem, just a fantastic opportunity. Thanks for posting this here!
