Last year, I shared a list of the books I actually managed to write posts for from previous years Once Upon a Time.

As well as a reading pool for last years challenge.

To see what I actually ended up reading, you can read my wrap-up post here.

      this is a great pool. I am going to look into a couple of these. I saw a Mercedes Lackey on another's ideas for reads. I haven't read anything by her before...

      happy reading!

    4. Ok - I'm leaving now. I've already ordered two of the above to be downloaded to my Kindle, and put half a dozen more on my wishlist.
      And there are more that interest me!

    5. I really do not want to buy any more books - but it's difficult when facing a list like yours. Luckily I have three of them, Sunshine, Gravelight, American Gods and the book by Leanna Hieber. Don't they all just look so tempting?
      I want to read more Patricia McKillip.

    6. Great choices! I read Crown Duel and Snow a few years ago and thought they were excellent! Sunshine's also pretty interesting as far as vampire tales go. :D

    11. That's quite a lot of books, and a very interesting selection.
      "American Gods" is just wonderful, one of my favorite books.
      I'm also doing this challenge, and "Sunshine" is on my reading list for that too...

    17. A great list of books.

      I like the cover for Snow, and I like re-tellings. I really liked Sunshine. I also enjoyed The Green Rider.

    18. You make me not feel so bad! lol I have such a huge pile from my shelves - this is both good - lots to pick from - and bad - how do I have so many unread on my shelves??? lol Because of your list I just pulled Faerie Tale down to my pile, and Kristen Britain's second Green rider book - I really enjoyed the first one. I hope you enjoy the second Farseer book - it's one of my favourite trilogies - and ditto Tooth and Claw. Yaaay for Sunshine on your list! one of my favourite vampire novels. You have a really great selection there, Kelly.
