I’ve only read The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, which I enjoyed—it’s among my top 15 books read this year. I only read it because an ARC of it literally fell into my lap. I tend to be one of those people who doesn’t read just because everyone else is reading the book too (though I did succumb and read some of the Harry Potter books because, let’s face it, he’s a cultural phenomenon). Personally, I think I’d never, ever read the Stephenie Meyer books or the Lori Handeland, simply because I’m not into vampire/paranormal lit. I tend to go with what I feel like reading at the moment, so my books on LT tend to sometimes be rare. PS—about the Lori Handeland being on this list—do you think it might have something to do with the fact that the book was an ER bonus batch a while ago?

I'm with you on staying away from the Twilight books.

I really want to read The Story of Edgar Sawtelle--it looks good. Don't want to read the Curtis Sittenfeld book because I read Prep and HATED it. Dewey looks positively adorable.
