Suggestion — 2 years ago

You should add the “Luxe” trilogy on here. I absolutely love them and think a bunch of other people would too


The Knife of Never Letting Go... — 3 years ago

…is a really new book, but if they did a new version of this list I think it should be on there.

It was put up for and won several awards, and it really is a good book.


11%! — 3 years ago

And I thought I had read a lot of books!

Looking For Alaska – John Green, so glad it’s here. Excellent book!


Untitled — 4 years ago

Yeah uhmm..

I only have 5% of this list done.

And I only have 2 years left!


YOU know it — 4 years ago

Ya when I first found this book at the library, that the list wads created from,I was so mad at myself for not having more read. Let me know how uglies go…


Kat

Am... — 4 years ago

not happy I’ve only read 6%, but there are plenty on the list that I plan on reading soon. And one of them (uglies) is on hold at the library.


Doing It — 5 years ago

I don’t think this book should be on the list. It was stupid and there are probably better options.
