  1. Hey, that's not too bad for a reader like you. I'm willing to bet that you'll get through most of these but that the list will be just as long next time you post it. 🙂

  2. What a great idea! I love that you linked who recommended the books–that will make it easier to remember later, when you do read the books. Something I always fail to remember. You've got some great books listed here. One I hope to read this year is The Light Between Oceans. Although, others sound quite good too.

  3. That is a great list. I often forget who recommended a specific book so I should probably do something similar. I love the fact that you picked out some books I didn't actually like. I always worry that my slightly negative reviews might put people off so it is good to see you were still drawn to them. Happy reading!

  4. Bermudaonion- Me, too! Not likely, but I have the hope regardless.Sam- That's exactly right. It's always like that.Literary Feline- I always take so long to get around to reading the books, that by the time I've got them in hand I have no recollection of why I wanted to read them in the first place! Thus a little record here.Jackie- what's your blog? I couldn't find a link back to you…Chris- just as much as I love/hate your bad bloggers posts! I often add to my lists from those 🙂
