  1. I agree with lots of these, particularly the Jane Austen ones! There are definitely some on this list that I want to read! Thanks so much for mentioning my review, glad you want to give it a try! 🙂

  2. That is a very long list. Brown Girl Dreaming was good. The Uglies was ok. I just started The Hate U Give yesterday.

  3. Phew girl you got a LONGGGGGGGGG TBR *phew.* I hope you enjoy The Haunting of Hill House! We Have Always Lived in this Castle is my personal favorite from Jackson, but Hill House is just as grim!!!
