This was actually easier in 2006 because I wasn't always the best about keeping track of my reading back then. Now I have a lot of books to choose from!
2 very strong lists :) Lots of gems in there!

hooray for loving books!
Holy crap, but do I feel pathetic! I've only read two of those books period. But hey, they'll make good go to lists for me. And of course, I did notice some of those books are on the Canada list you made me so hopefully I'll be getting to some of them soon. :)
ReplyDeleteWow what a fantastic list :D You kind of make me want to make a list of my own here!! I think I'll save this for a rainy day :) I really am in love with this list!
ReplyDeleteI love your lists. I have a lot on my TBR pile which menas I have a lot of really great books to look forward too. (How do I know because some on your list are my favourites as well). :)
ReplyDeleteVery fun to compare! I may have to try this!
ReplyDeleteIt is interesting to see how your favourites have changed. I'm sure that my lists would be very different too - wish I had a list from 2006.
ReplyDeletePaullina Simons is an author that keeps cropping up on lists like this and I still haven't tried any of her books. Will have to change that soon.
OMG, Crow Lake! I loved that book so hard...even if I did cry my eyes out through most of it.
