Raved-About Reads Challenge


Raved About Reads
Host: MizB (but has its own blog)

I will try to read at least three of these books listed. I might add to the list as the months go on. But I'll try to read those in addition to three original books. The list is subject to change. But I'll try to be honest about which books are added on later.

Becky,

Life as we knew it was a haunting but enjoyable book. I couldn't put it down and it stayed with me for months.

Uglies was good too but it was part of a series just so you know.
