Good list! I've got some of those on my potential list...and on my book piles...as well. I'm so glad you are joining in. I hope Annie does as well.
What a great list! There are some books I love in there, some books I have been meaning to read, and some books I have never heard of, which only means that my wishlist will be increased. I'm just so ridiculously excited about this challenge :P Can't wait to read your thoughts on what you read!
Oh geez! I see some on here that I've been thinking I should get.. I have a bad feeling my wish list and buying list are going to go slightly crazy until this challenge is over!!
Wonderful list! I read Horns & Wrinkles last year and The Lightning Thief is fabulous. I must read more of that series. I also love Beauty and have been wanting to read the Datlow and Windling anthologies for ages. Can't wait to read your reviews!
What a wonderful list! I'd like to read them all! I'm looking forward to reading your reviews.
