  1. Love this list! I have “Sway” and “A Matter of Chance” lined up as my next reads, I loved loved loved The Muse and Boots and Backpacks

    1. Great choices, Beau! Those two stories are beautiful! 🙂 And I agree with you about The Muse and Boots and Backpacks! Definitely some of my faves!

  2. Such a wonderful service you offer to this community! Thanks for all the hard work.

    Might I ask for a minor correction? My title is actually An Obstinate, Headstrong Girl (with a comma, and “Headstrong” one word not two). If you don’t have time to go on typo patrol, no worries!

    1. Thank you for letting me know, Abigail. I definitely want these lists to be as accurate as possible, so I will always make time to make corrections! I’m so mortified that I made two mistakes in one title! 🙁

  3. I’ve read 16 of those and have 18 on my pile of reads. Personally I want to read the Misty Pulsipher, Claire LaZebnik, Jenni James, Abigail Bok, and Mary Jane Hathway books. If you like cute light YA, the Cecilia Grays are good.

    1. Ooh if you read all 18 you almost covered half of this list! 😉 I’ve read several books in the Claire LaZebnik, Jenni James, and Mary Jane Hathaway series – but now I want to read them all! I haven’t read any by Cecilia Gray, but I love her stories in the Holidays with Jane anthologies so they are now on my wishlist!

  4. I love your lists! I have read Cat Gardiners’ books, Marilyn Brant’s book, L.L. Diamond’s and Terri Wilson’s!

  5. I believe I have read 22 of these…but so many I didn’t read. Impossible to catch up. But, again, thank you for all your hard work, Meredith, and then sharing it with us.

  6. Thanks for another lovely list, Meredith.

    I’ve read 9 of them and I think I’ve probably got about the same again lurking in the dark and dusty cavern that is my TBR collection on my Kindle!
