*I've already started this one.
wowsers! When you write them all out like, that it's quite an impressive list.
ReplyDeleteYou are so lucky to get to read The Book thief, The Eyre Affair, Birth of Venus for the first time.
I think I need to read that Anne Perry one to get close to finishing the Pitt mysteries; I've heard good things about Dicey's Song; I'm putting Rapuzel on my TBR list; and somebody raved about the Zookeeper's Wife, or at least recently reviewed it.
Good luck alison.
The Eyre Affair was a lot of fun - I enjoyed that one. I want to read The Book Thief also.
ReplyDeleteThanks for checking out my blog! To answer your question I have read the Stephanie Plum series and really enjoy them!
ReplyDeleteI have read a few of the books on your list. In Her Shoes was a great read. Like most books, it was better than the movie ;-)
Wow! What a list! I have only read In her Shoes. But I liked it. Where do you find the time for so many?
ReplyDeleteI loved the Book Thief and hope you do too! I have the Zoo Keeper's Wife on my tbr list--maybe I will get to it next year?! I look forward to hearing your thoughts on both books.

I also want to read Zombie Blondes and First Among Sequels (the 5th book in that Jasper Fforde series that starts with the Eyre Affair).
ReplyDeleteGood list -- lots of books, lots of variety! I tried Girl Sleuth a year or so ago and just couldn't get through it. Parts were interesting but then parts just seemed to drag. But maybe I was just in the wrong frame of mind. I really liked The Book Thief, and Odd Thomas. Thanks for being part of the challenge!
