I haven't read any of the books on your list. I will have to check them out.
The Kite Runner is simply amazing. I just picked up The Astonishing Life of Octavian Nothing and am looking forward to reading this one.
Thanks for this list. What a great idea.
More new books to research out at the library!! Enjoy!
Great picks! I love your blog design too ;) I'm looking forward to your reviews. Happy Reading! =)

Another two thumbs up for The Kite Runner! And it's great to see a classic on your list. I haven't read The Scarlett Letter in ages, but it was one of my faves.
happy spring reading!!
Looks like a great list! I've heard so many good comments about The Kite Runner -- I know I'll eventually have to read that one. Thanks for being part of the challenge!
Some of the best books I have read are from the Jr. High and Teen Section of the Library! With family members that teach that age group, I get a lot of recommendations!
I have Octavian Nothing here in a pile. I started it, but put it down (not because it was boring, but because there was other stuff I "had" to read). I will have to come back here when I get a chance.
I am so excited...I hadn't heard of Cracker before. But I am definitely getting that one for my daughter...she'll absolutely love it, I'm sure. (And then it can make it's way to my TBR pile, too.)
I love classics. Hawthorne is an excellent author. If you like TSL, try The House with Seven Gables. It will not disappoint.
What a great list. I haven't read any but I have heard of some. BTW... I just LOVE your background!!! It's beautiful!!! Happy reading!!!
I haven't even heard of most of your list and love it! I will be looking them up! I will interested what you like, will you post any reviews? Thanks for sharing your list, have fun working your way through them!

Jade Dragon? Is that fantasy or eastern? I'm going to guess the latter.
I hope you do reviews.
Another Becky
