I do wish that book had gotten a little more coverage.<br /><br />I am so happy you loved Minnow Bly. That was a wonderful book. I can't even express how much I adored that novel.<br /><br />And you used charts for your survey! I love it! I am publishing my stats next week and I am so excited, I can't even stand it!! <3 Lyn Kayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10471867801089862828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2719681682618841725.post-69843168607417731442016-01-12T04:47:32.795+01:002016-01-12T04:47:32.795+01:00Shannon, yes I have no doubt that you will love al...Shannon, yes I have no doubt that you will love all the books on this list!! I am waiting for the day when we don't agree on a book. It's bound to happen, right? Your survey was the same way. The books you loved were ones I had either read and loved too or ones that I wanted to read. Any book that you mentioned in your survey automatically got moved up in my TBR . . . except for the ones you were disappointed in. I'll just skip those. :) And yeah, 239 books is a record for sure. I have always been a super fast reader, but I think that being unemployed has allowed me to read even more than I normally do. Also, no kids, so that helps. I would be so honored to be added to your blogroll. Your blog is my favorite!!Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16050447428759378366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2719681682618841725.post-41432930187601402422016-01-09T06:58:49.318+01:002016-01-09T06:58:49.318+01:00I started a comment on this post about 10 times, a...I started a comment on this post about 10 times, and damn it, I am going to finish it! My computer restarted once, then Chrome froze, then I had run out of time and it ate my comment... the struggle is real. ANYWAY, we are twinsies. Like, 99% of the time. Because otherwise, if we say always, we will be jinxed or something awful. And YAY for Alice and the Fly! I have that one, completely because of your and Cait's love for it! And the thing I love the most is that all the books on here that I haven't read and you loved I WANT to read, so there's a pretty solid chance it'll work out well! YES to TLTSTW. I recommend, of course :D <br /><br />And the quote from Two Boys Kissing is so, so beautiful, I adore it! But holy crap, 239 books?! HOW?! I just... jaw on floor, is the situation. Also, I need to make you a blog button so I can add you to my blogroll. It makes me so sad that you are not there. That was just a random sidenote and has nothing to do with anything that happened in your year.

I will NEVER stop pushing Two Boys Kissing. It is now on my list of favorite books ever and I may need to reread it in 2016.

And even though you say you read an overwhelming amount of YA books, you still read a really good amount of adult books in my opinion. The Lunar Chronicles is my favourite series of all time now and I read them all in 2015 as well. I cannot stop recommending that series and I'm so happy that you loved it too. I also really, really loved Two Boys Kissing! It's just such an important book and I hope you continue to push that one :)<br /><a href="http://www.happyindulgencebooks.com" rel="nofollow">Jenna @ Happy Indulgence</a>Jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15845270882011161182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2719681682618841725.post-29972318882311450652015-12-31T22:23:51.215+01:002015-12-31T22:23:51.215+01:00All The Lunar Chronicles!
