I like your beautiful title book!I really enjoyed The Giver and Brave New World, I hope you'll like them too.
I'll probably read Ocean at the End for week 51 if I choose a full book :)
There are so many books on your list I am excited to see. I hope you enjoy The Giver (I hope you haven't seen the movie), The Ocean at The End of The Lane, and All The Light We Cannot See.
And Then There Were None is a great book! If you have never read Agatha Christie its a good place to start.

It may be tough to stay in order since I have a few further down on the list that I'm excited to get to!Not sure why I've waited this long to read an Agatha Christie book.
Wow your identity book sounds like it will be interesting!
We are both reading All the Light We Cannot See. I've been wanting to read that book because I've heard such great things. I look forward to the discussions!
I love your list!The Tell-Tale Heart is one of my all-time favorite short stories! I hope you like it :)
nice list...I read the Pretty Girls last week. Didn't like it. Too much description of violence. It disturbed my mind a lot... if you are ok with stories which are dark and too much violence, then only read this book.

Thanks for the input, I was hesitant already so you've decided for me. There are too many others out there that interested me too!

Oh noo, this is good to know!
Substituted Sound of Glass instead of Pretty girls. That sounds like a better one! I may have to request it from the library now in order to get it in time for week 3 though.
It's ridiculous how many changes I keep making! I think I'm only going to look at a month or so ahead. I've changed week 3 four times already!
Good luck! I've just sorted my list and have also chosen the silent sister for week 1 :)

I started my book for week #1 only to realize I read it already!! Pretty poor start to the challenge - need to make a change already.
Congrats :)Which books are your favorites from the challenge?
