How fun! From the picture, I recall reading about 12 of these and all (9) of the others on the list - we do have similar taste in books:)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Diane. It was a fun meme! Yes, we do have similar taste in books, don't we?
DeleteThis made me laugh! I've read ten, but I see others that I should have read by now. :)
ReplyDeleteThere are a lot of winners here, Jen!
DeleteThe only books in the list that I've read are The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry, A Man Called Ove, Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine, and A Prayer for Owen Meany.
ReplyDeleteI almost read The Story of Arthur Truluv but got sidetracked.
Vicki, The Story of Arthur Truluv is a heartwarming book. I enjoyed Night of Miracles a little bit more, though.
DeleteOh my goodness! There are so many books on your list---Hamnet, Anne of Green Gables, Eleanor & Park, Olive Kitteridge---that I have loved. I should check out some of the ones I haven't read.
ReplyDeleteDeb, there are a lot to choose from! :)
DeleteMy 2 favorites on your list have the same name: Eleanor!
ReplyDeleteLol! Those were great books, Helen.
DeleteLove this idea for a booklist! Mind if I borrow it for a booktalk topic? -JenJ
ReplyDeleteSure! I'll email you the images, if you like, Jen.
DeleteThis is a fun collage! I think we have similar tastes in reading...I've read and loved 12 of the books in your collage and about half of the books on your additional list. I know I've discovered many of the books from your reviews. So please keep them coming! š
ReplyDeleteLaurel, it was fun to create the collage. I'm so pleased that you are getting good ideas from my book reviews. xo
DeleteI like that list! You have given me some good ideas!
ReplyDeleteHappy to help, Tina! :)
