To Be Read List

Great lists. I like how you divided it up into genres. Of course, I want to a challenge around genres but it may take too much work so I don't know. I don't recommend "Nectar in a Sieve," but otherwise, wonderful choices.
Oh, the Outlander series. They are really just a little bit scifi and a lot romance. Thanks for reminding me, I need to get going on book 3.
I like the looks of this list better than the AP. The books sound so much more interesting. Many more to add to my TBR mountain. I'm afraid I'm going to be buried alive in an avalanche any day.
I agree with Framed about Nectar in a Sieve, but then Corey and grandma really liked it.
Look forward to all your reviews on these books.
The Ambidextrist is definitely not a comedy. Very dark and depressing.
I'm pretty sure that you own "A Wrinkle in Time." It's sitting on my shelf with your other books.
