    The Glass Castle. Thanks for the giveaway. I’m surprised by some of the books on this list.

    I would order The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian because I’ve heard such great things! Some of the books on the list, like the Dr. Seuss ones, surprised me!

  31. Michelle Willms – I am a professional reader, editor, blogger, and reviewer. I have experience in journalism, editing, grantwriting, PR, and other forms of writing. I have worked as a college professor in a past life, and have also been employed in many other interesting and not so interesting professions. I love writing, my family, animals, reading, writing, cooking, and reading some more. Did I mention reading and writing? If you'd like me to review your work, please send an email to me at michelle_willms@yahoo.com. I ONLY accept print copies for review.

    I’d either pick The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon or Two Boys Kissing by David Levithan. Probably leaning a bit toward the former at the moment. 🙂

  43. donnadmb – I love God and my family, like reviewing products, giveaways, cowboy boots, horses, good food, strong coffee, banjo music and books. I am the Mama of 3, Grand Mama of 4 and grateful receiver of more good gifts than one heart can hold. I struggle daily with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, so I have a big heart, what's wrong with that? I fight for joy and find it in the most unexpected places. I make quirky look normal, relish in my small town Southern way of living, and am learning that it's all grace--every last bit of it.

    I’d probably order Nineteen Minutes

    I would mostly pick The Perks of Being a Wallflower or either one of John Green books.

    Even though I’m outside the US, I would choose the House of the Night series. I started reading them when they first came out and loved them and want to get back into the series.

    I’d love to read all of the books on that list. I always think that if someone doesn’t want it read then the book is pretty good and has something of true value in it. A developing awareness of our world – sometimes even who we really might be (Bless Me Ultima — a high school read changed me, well, developed me into a wiser and more self aware person). I’d love to actually read the Twilight series but I think Persepolis would win my pick for something new and informative.

  97. mizztara71 – I am an avid reader. I enjoy reading most genres, but tend to favor fantasy, paranormal and historical romances. I have my favorite auto-buy authors, but love finding new authors and their books.

    I would choose The Bluest Eye, by Toni Morrison.

    It sounds crazy but I would choose, If I Ran the Zoo by Dr. Seuss. I’m curious about it, and I would love to have a copy for my niece.
