* On my bookshelf, just waiting for me to get around to reading.

Okay, so I have more on my bookshelf than I've read. I've really got to get around to reading all the TBR pile that keeps growing and growing and growing. I think they need to stop putting out new, fantastic books so I can catch up.

So, how many books have you read from the list? Which books are you dying to read but just haven't gotten around to?

I seriously just got way too excited when I saw this list - I love these things! I counted 14 for me, but I'm like you - a bunch of the others are sitting in my TBR pile. And now that I see this list, the pile has grown even bigger.

I've read...uh...too many to count! I love to see a list of YA books like this. I feel more accomplished than when I read a classics list.

Pretty cool list! (Though I would love to scratch Twilight off the list, I did read it and like it, but now it's so big and yuk, but that's just my opinion.)

Hi, I'm a newbie joining the campaign and popped in. Love the blog, wow what a list...mmmm If I sat down and started reading just a few of these, I would never find time to write... Oh Well!
Nice meeting you.

I love these lists too. I've read several of the books in the list and it's made me realize just how many series I've started and need to catch up on.
