Laura's List
Thursday, April 3, 2008 by Laura
This is a challenge I simply cannot resist; I am prone to using the prize lists for TBR ideas anyway. And Michelle is graciously allowing overlap with other challenges, and I don't have to choose all my books before the start of the challenge, and there are prizes! How could I refuse?

The Road and The Giver are powerful books. Can't wait to hear what you think of them.
Welcome to the challenge!
That's a good idea, to leave a spot or two open for 2007-2008 winners. I wonder if any of the new books I've already read this year will win anything.
the bone people is lovely, one of my favourite novels
