definitely think Will Grayson Will Grayson should make the list :) I'm sad i haven't read more of these books though!
ReplyDeleteWe really debated Will Grayson for a time but I was the only who had read it all the way through so we decided to table our decision on it until the other two gals had a chance to read it. I do love the book, however.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great list. There are a bunch on here that I haven't read yet, but I definitely need to; for example, The Sky is Everywhere- I hear it's awesome. I need to move that up on my TBR pile. I can't wait to see which books make the official list in January!
