Great review!
And, apparently everyone named Simone is reading this this month! :)
It is an interesting list, but someone at Time thought it was the best. I should look into it more and see if they had criteria, multiple contributors, or if it was just one person's opinion.

I always like to check back in on my lists at the end of the year and see how I am doing. I was at 24 and now I am at 27 on this one. Up from 15 the first year.

So much deep artsy-ness . . . not sure if I am going to end up liking this one in the end. When I read last night I realized my mind was drifting . . .
It was a tie! Just posted the tie-breaker poll! VOTE-VOTE-VOTE!

Just started and not what I expected. Decent through part one with interesting character development. Looking forward to seeing where this one goes.
C-Shaw - understood! Not all of these are everyone! :)
