Some of these I loved and I completely agree with you. Some are on the TBR list, and I can't wait to get to them. Great list!
ReplyDeleteI LOVED Name of the Wind - but I'm reserving judgement until the series is finished.
ReplyDeleteSuch a great list! You're the fourth person to recommend The Language of Flowers this month. I think I officially need to read it.
ReplyDeleteThe Book Thief is number one of my list, too! I have yet to read a novel that I feel can rival The Book Thief. Markus Zusak is a genius.
ReplyDeletehaven't read most of these but most are on my tbr ^__^

Wow, I love so many of the books on your list! I picked The Song of Achilles up from the library, I can't wait to get started on it.
ReplyDeleteYou KNOW how stoked I am to see Knife on this list!
ReplyDeleteAlso, thank you for the reminder that I need to read The Name of the Wind!
The Book Thief and The Language of Flowers would definitely make my list as well.
ReplyDeleteThere are a few on this list that I have not read. The Language of Flowers is one that I have particularly been wanting to read. Great list. Thanks for the recommendations.
