...Oh, I'm so honored to be included! Thank you.<br /><br />Some terrific novels were already mentioned, but I'll throw in 31 HOURS by Masha Hamilton which I still can't get out of my head; it's disturbing and beautiful. I, of course, am partial to the other Debutante Ball books as well, (POSED FOR MURDER, FIRST COMES LOVE THEN COMES MALARIA, LITTLE GIANT OF ABERDEEN COUNTY and if they included YA on the list, BAD GIRLS DON'T DIE).<br /><br />Haven't read them yet, but based on general talent I'm surprised THE CHILDREN'S BOOK by A.S. Byatt wouldn't make the cut. Or, TROUBLE by Kate Christensen.Kristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03005060328496062807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5817248340630521543.post-71336180490404625452009-11-15T11:23:23.486-08:002009-11-15T11:23:23.486-08:00I haven't read anything new, but I love Alison...I haven't read anything new, but I love Alison Winn Scotch and Audrey Niffenegger.<br /><br />GREAT idea!Melanie Hooyengahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08781235493983907234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5817248340630521543.post-75988259527605131022009-11-15T10:22:06.798-08:002009-11-15T10:22:06.798-08:00Christa and Angie--Thanks for the recos!

Snyder's Glass series, SEA GLASS. And I can't forget, Alsyon Noel. Her second in series came out too, BLUE MOON, which is still on my TBR list after reading EVERMORE (released this Feb).ChristaCarol Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02908423468344511136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5817248340630521543.post-5965204907569785642009-11-15T07:11:31.421-08:002009-11-15T07:11:31.421-08:00Kate Jacobs, seconding Schube noms, and adding Kat...Kate Jacobs, seconding Schube noms, and adding Kat Magendie's Tender Graces, among others. :)Angie Ledbetterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16407006980893727627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5817248340630521543.post-92100635587946480032009-11-15T07:00:54.066-08:002009-11-15T07:00:54.066-08:00(Argh, typos!)
