I love your list. I joined the challenge too last week. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun challenge! I'm going to have to take a closer look at it tomorrow. I can already see that I'm going to have a great time making my list.
ReplyDeleteIt's an ambitious challenge and list. Some the books on your list I have read and I will never want to read them again, ;) and some of them I have on my TBR pile waiting to be read.
ReplyDeleteWow, that's quite an undertaking! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteYour list is fantastic! I'm in the midst of reading Stone's Fall, and have recently read A Mad Desire to Dance, and several others on your list.
ReplyDeleteI love this! I could take all the TBR books from my various Must Read lists and create my own personal amalgamated list. Cool!
ReplyDeleteWow...that list looks daunting from this point! Best of luck! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea, and great list. you have some terrific reading ahead of you!
