Saw this at Tin's blog and thought it'd be interesting to see how much from the list, Your Favorites: 100 Best-Ever Teen Novels: NPR, I've read. Well, a measly 24 out of 100 ..and some of those I didn't complete the series. Oh well, I'm mostly a general adult fiction reader anyways.
How about you? How much of these have your read? Any you do not agree with it or think they missed? Which would you highly recommend I read soon? ~Thanks. :)

We've read about the same, Jinky. But I'm not sure how "Flowers for Algernon" got on this list. Doesn't matter; it's one of my all-time fav reads.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, I've read about 20 books of the list.
ReplyDeleteI've read 25 of these books and in some I counted the series even though I may not have finished that series.
ReplyDeleteThe House of the Scorpion is an awesome book and it is written by Nancy Farmer not Westerfield.
Great list. Thanks for sharing.
I haven't read too many...Loved The Book Thief and To Kill a Mockingbird.
ReplyDeleteJust stopping by to look around. Found you on the Back To School Hop.
Have a fun hop!!
I have two giveaways going on at my blog, stop by if you like.
