    You impress me. It’s been awhile since I’ve read a book. Magazines and newspapers, yes. Books, no. And I love to read a really good book. Right now I’m judging a short story contest, so that’s my reading.

      Well that is good, too. All reading is good in my humble opinion. I just let other things go so that I can read at times. 🙂

    Goodness you are a voracious reader! For real, I was just thinking the other day…”I wish Beth Ann would post her list again…I need recommendations.” And you did…what’s with that?
    So glad you read Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Annie Barrows and Mary Ann Shaffer. Such an interesting human interest story about little known history in a unique format.

    Wow! A great list, Good for you. I just finished reading The Giver by Lois Lowry myself. I was delighted to see one of my books on the list.(I never thought that would happen, that people would actually read my books and put them on lists) Happy reading.

    To Kill a Mockingbird definitely ranks as one of my all time faves. And I love, love Harlan Coban. He always stumps me. I don’t know how, but I never quite get the ending perfectly. Love JD Robb too. And the Iris Johansen one is pretty good too.
    I got a whole list and some already on my Kindle that I have to start getting to as well.
