I completely agree, but that scene also really drew me into the book. My list will have a few surprises for you.

You seem to know my book likes very well, Susan!

I usually avoid YA like a curse, but had to give into all the good things I was hearing about The Hate U Give. (Plus hearing it was banned by a TX school district made me even more interested.)

You’re a smart lady, Kathy. My 2018 TBR pile just keeps growing (and at an alarming rate).

You’re always so great at getting through audios and the narration on The Hate U Give is good, so you might want to try audio on it.

Thanks for stopping by Laurel. It looks like you’ve been VERY busy!

Melanie Benjamin has always been solid for me, so fingers crossed on her latest. Thanks for stopping by.

I think you’ll really like Forty Autumns. I found it especially interesting when it got into times that I remembered.

Thanks, Tara. Looks like we’re on the same reading path. (Surprise!)

Oh! I loved Evelyn Hugo on audio. Fantastic narration. I love it when I can share similar book tastes with another blogger.
