I feel like Firefly Lane and The Book Thief would have made it to this round when I first read them, but since they were rereads I want to give the title to other books. I had to eliminate both of the books I read by Veronica Roth this year. That was hard. The other interesting thing is that look at the bottom left corner. I have to choose between two Kasie West books. Oh how will I choose. This is a pretty accurate list of the books I really enjoyed this year.
The Elite Eight will be up on January 10th.
Ooh that's an interesting bracket idea. Curious to see which book will win for you :)
ReplyDeleteI've never read any of these except Charlotte's Web and Norwegian Wood! I've heard many of them are good, though, and some may just end up on my TBR. :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your eight! Picking mine has been a doozy.
