Linda, looks like we have some of the same titles on our list! It will be nice to compare reactions! Golden Boy is a title I will likely read this year too. Seeing so many people excited about it. I adored Navigating Early. One to read when you have lots of time to read as the language is wonderful to just get lost in! Happy Reading Lists my friend!
ReplyDeleteI agree-we do have more than one the same. So glad you & Maria gave the nudge, along with Myra, to do this. I really need to read these books!
DeleteI really love the idea of creating one of these lists and keeping it fairly small. I tend to make extremely grandiose reading plans (I'm going to read all the Printz books. This week!) and then I don't end up accomplishing exactly what I mean to accomplish. I think I am going to use my list to attack my "Shelf of Shame". One book per month, slowly but surely.
ReplyDeleteYes, "shelf of shame" is a terrific word for it, plus I think I have more than one, one for last year, one for the year before, etc. The hashtag is changed, look again. I corrected! Thanks, Elisabeth!
DeleteExcellent choices, Linda! Some of my favorites are on your list for this year (Dream Thieves, Seraphina, and Flora & Ulysses). I'm still working on my list. Post soon!
ReplyDeleteWe're going to swap the tag to #MustReadIn2014 so people don't think they have to be books PUBLISHED this year :)
Yes, I saw-have been gone all day, so just tweeted back! This will be fun, Maria!
DeleteBeautiful, beautiful titles in your list! Are these all yours? If so, I am jealous (in a good way, if that even makes sense!). Happy reading!! =)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Fats, yes, I have them all, kind of embarrassing too. Some I did get free at NCTE, but most I've purchased. Looking forward to all you are doing too!
DeleteWhat a great list of books! I will definitely be looking for these. You always have wonderful choices. Hope you had a lovely holiday!
ReplyDeleteThanks Beverley. Keep watching. We've formed a little group & are going to keep track of our books that we haven't read in 2013, but want to!
