Way to go! Good luck with the 2011 challenge!
Wither is a fantastic read!! Truly!
I'm participating for the first time this year. Looking forward to what you have to say!
I absolutely LOVE that you do this, and I plan to follow your lead! Now, I'm off to make my 2011 wishlist!
Congratulations! I haven't done all that well with this challenge, but it might be salvagable depending on how much reading I accomplish during the Thankfully Reading Weekend. We'll see.
thanks so much for joining the challenge again this year, Lenore!! Here's hoping for some fantastic reads in '11!! Good luck and happy reading!
Hi! I'm thrilled you're planning to read RIVAL. I hope you like it!
I particularly like number 6!!!!
:-D
Certain dark undertow to that title list....
Shelley - I haven't actually done a lot of research into all the titles, so mostly this list is made up of dystopians that I am aware of and books from people I know!
Thanks so much for including Ashes, Ashes on your to-read list. Hope you enjoy it!
I'm definitely thinking of joining the challenge, as the majority of books I read this year were debuts. :)
I'm glad you have LEGEND on your list. That's my most looked-forward-to book of next year!
Congrats Lenore! That's awesome.
An excellent reference...I will totally steal some titles from these lists when I go to the bookstore/library! Thanks a lot for this post and good luck with the 2011 challenge!
I actually find it quite fascinating that all of last year's books are written by women. Does it mean that more women are getting published, or does it indicate that the young adult genre is dominated by women? Or can it simply be a matter of personal taste?
It's most likely just an interesting observation you made with no hidden meaning behind it. I hope you enjoyed the books and good luck next year!
That is a great challenge! I have to be way more picky this year for the ones I choose to do... I am so far behind on updating them I have no idea if I rocked anything other than the 100 books this year challenge.
Hmmm, I wonder how many debut novels I read this year. I'd bet it's more than I've read any previous year. I'll have to think about joining that challenge for next year.
Dude, I would kill (like KILL) for Beth Revis's book right now. I'm jealous you've already read it.
I really want to join this challenge but I'm having a hard time planning ahead! I may have to do another fake challenge and just keep track as I read. How do you review so many books?
TBL - I didn't really think I reviewed all that many books. But as to how I do it...I just try to write a review when I finish with a book to organize my thoughts about it. It's really why I started to blog about books, to be able to process them better.
