Glad to see Kristin Hannah made your list, she is a favourite. I didn't get to her new one this year though.
ReplyDeleteBoth of my top reads are on your list (Code Name Verity and Seraphina). Loved them so much! And I have The Crown of Embers coming up so I hope I love that too.
ReplyDeleteGreat list, Christina! You know that I loved Shoemaker's Wife and Second Chance Summer. You have For Darkness Shows the Stars on your list and I have read some really great reviews for that one. It's on my holiday wish list, so hopefully I can read it in the new year.
ReplyDeleteOoh great list! The Shoemaker's wife is high on my TBR. I'll probably get to it in the next couple of months. And I just finished re-reading The Hobbit. Yup, it was awesome! :D MY TTT. Happy Tuesday! :D
ReplyDeleteOoh interesting list! I loved Cinder and Code Name Verity is on my reading list - hopefully I'll get to it very soon. I'll have to check out a few of the other authors from your list.
