Casual Vacancy is a good book even if it wasn't my sort of thing. I heard it was a mystery when I started it but it's definitely more a story of small town life. The last chapter made the entire book, in my opinion so stick with it even if you feel tempted to abandon it.
Great list. I haven't read any of these. I always get sucked in at book sales buying everything just because it's a good price but then the books never become a priority. Plus there are always new books coming out that tempt me to read them before I finish what I have.
ooh, sounds interesting and good luck getting to your books, Thanks for stopping by. Love it, great choice in a teaser today. kelley—the road goes ever ever on
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who still has to read the Casual Vacancy! :) I read Jinx years ago and liked it, although I have the feeling that I wouldn't like it as much now, if you know what I mean.
I need to read 13 as well, but haven't had it in the TBR nearly as long as the ten I chose for my list. If I haven't gotten to it by this time next year it'll be an honorary add on :)
The Casual Vacancy was one that I HAD TO HAVE and actually read right away! It was very different from what I normally read and was quite slow, but I still enjoyed it! Thanks for dropping by earlier- New Follower via GFC!
Oh, Twenty Boy Summer is such a sweet read! I loved it. I really need to get around to The Splendor Falls soon too, it sounds interesting. Nice list, and thank you for stopping by my TTT! :)
What Happened to Goodbye by Sarah Dessen is amazing (personally I think the majority of her works are), and I really enjoyed The Mockingbirds! Great list, and I hope you get a chance to enjoy them!
I have been dying to read all these things I've done, the plot seems so different and fresh but, for some reason I just haven't been able to get to reading it.

ReplyDelete13 is amazing! I am a huge fan of the series and the finale is just perfect.
ReplyDeleteThe Casual Vacancy is also good.

Oo, I haven't heard of most of these besides the Casual Vacancy :D I hope you get a chance to read them soon though!

I too have had Twenty Boy Summer and All These Things I've Done on my shelves forever. I hope you find time to read them soon!
ReplyDeleteI have gotten The Casual Vacancy TWICE from the library, and returned it both times without reading it. Oops.
ReplyDeleteI've seen The Casual Vacancy on quite a few lists! I had assumed EVERYBODY would read it straight away!
