30 Days of Lists Blog Hop
Hi! I cannot believe how fast this year is going! But, the great news about it being almost September is that there is a great blog hop for 30 Days of Lists!
One of the things that makes me keep coming back to this project (besides the loveliness of lists) is the COMMUNITY. Community to me is super important, and the more comfortable I feel, the more I share…
We were tasked to check out lists from 2011 and find one that made sense for us right now. And so I did…
Of course, it would be related to books, right?
Books I’d Like to Read This Year
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenace (Robert Pirsig)
Under the Dome (Stephen King)
Mirror, Mirror (Gregory Maguire)
The Sisters Brothers (Patrick DeWitt)
Outlander (Diana Gabaldon)
Winter (Marissa Meyer)
Oryx & Crake (Margaret Atwood)
Funny Girl (Nick Hornby)
American Gods (Neil Gaiman)
So make sure you check out other listers in this challenge!!!! What about you? Leave your comments about your favorite list, or if you want to learn more about this project now!

August 26, 2015 at 4:44 pmOh man, so many great books on this list (Outlander and American Gods are on mine too)
One thing — Under the Dome is really good (I love King) … HOWEVER it is one of the best examples of Stephen King needing an editor to tell him when to shut up 🙂 It’s REALLY long unnecessarily.
But if you generally like his books, you’ll like that one too 🙂
Also, Mirror, Mirror is really good. The only Gregory Maguire book I don’t like is Lost

August 28, 2015 at 5:56 amYes, the only way I finished Lost was because it was the only book I had on a cross-country flight.
I really enjoyed recent King (I had been reticient, as I’m a fan of the old stuff), but Under the Dome is sitting there, in paperback, judging me.
