Several years ago, Carrie Gelson of There's A Book for That and Maria Selke of Maria's Melange started us down the path of giving love to all the books that came before, the ones we have on shelves, but still haven't read! There is a small group of us who began sharing lists titled #MustReadIn2014. My list is now #MustReadIn2017, a few from the previous lists. You can see #MustReadIn2016 above, too.Thanks for hosting, Carrie! Find the latest group update HERE!
Here are the books I've read, and am now starting the graphic novel of Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book. I've loved this story, love all Gaiman's work, so bought this a long time ago. And guess what? It's kept sinking to the bottom of the pile. This time, I will read it, number 14 on my list of 26. You can see the entire list above on the bar under the header.
The best ones, the ones you should not miss: all of them! If you want to read more about each, check my Goodreads reviews. I placed them on the list because I read the many reviews by the people who share the books they read for the Monday Reading meme hosted by Kellee Moye, Ricki Ginsberg and Jen Vincent or Horn Book or on Goodreads, etc. And I already know that you love them, so I should, too! Thank you all!
I love When Friendship Followed me Home! Congratulations on being half way through!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Carrie. I loved When Friendship Followed Me Home, too! a magic story!
DeleteMy daughter just finished The 7th Most Important Thing and loved it. She actually hugged the book to her chest when she finished it.
ReplyDeleteI really want to read Friendship. Might have to put that one on my 2018 list!
The 7th Most Important Thing is a lovely story. I agree with your daughter! Enjoy Friendship! Lots to be sure to put on our lists from others! Thanks, Michele!
DeleteI still need to read the March trilogy. There's a few here, like Blue Birds, that I don't know and will have to check out.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lisa. I've added books today, too. It's hard to keep up with so many good ones available. Enjoy what you can.
DeleteI've read many of the books here Linda and just started The Girl who Drank the Moon. The ones that were not on my list before, are now. Maggie is my favourite.
ReplyDeleteMany of you spoke so highly of Maggie that I had to have it on my list, and I loved it, too. Happy Reading!
DeleteSo excited to find of a few of these available from my library in eVersion without a wait. Off to read!

Terrific, I hope you enjoy them!
DeleteSo there was a horrible incident in southern Iowa this week that has completely inspired me to buy the March trilogy for my family's library. I keep marveling through all these situations that literature keeps coming to the forefront as a place to start conversations.
ReplyDeleteThe March Trilogy is beautifully done, Kendra. I'm sorry about your news and hope they bring some historical perspective for you. They are both tragic and celebratory!
DeleteI see a lot of books I've enjoyed like the March trilogy and The Girl Who Drank the Moon. The Graveyard Book is one I've read a few times.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad I read those, Crystal. The Graveyard Book is a favorite, but now I'm loving the graphic one too.
DeleteSome of my favorites on your list - The Seventh Most Important Thing and the Girl Who Drank the Moon. When Friendship Followed Me Home is on my list and I still haven't read The Graveyard Book or the March books. At least we know we'll never run out of books to read!
