But recently I acquired Forever via Bookmooch. Partially, I confess, because the controversy made me curious, but also because lots of YA authors today cite it as an influence. I have a feeling it won't seem quite as scandalous as it did then!<br /><br />Good luck with the challenge!Ana S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16092495983972185943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-62014114077650334222009-11-04T15:56:16.073-05:002009-11-04T15:56:16.073-05:00Susan - no reason for amazement.

We will see if I finish it!<br /><br />JoAnn - It is like a grand experiment. I may read these books and think "what the hell did I like about this book?".<br /><br />Beth - I know, I think you were one of the first temptresses, as you usually are. I have alot of challenges on my plate because of you!<br /><br />Julie - well, you know! I didn't want to say "I need this like a hole in the head", so just to be different that was all I could think of!!!! I did go by the bookstore today to look at the list and I found one more book that I need to add...Ghosts I Have Been. I read that one about 10 times!<br /><br />ds - I am counting on the fact that most of these books are in my library and are very short. Maybe I'll just go on a reading binge for a week or two and try to knock them out!<br /><br />Bumbles - all I know is that A Little Princess is one of my favorite movies as well, so I will have to throw in some cinematic commentary as well!<br /><br />Kathy - yes, you and Beth got me into this one. It is going to be so much fun!<br /><br />Amy - strangely, I know I read it but can't remember much about it. I'm sure it will all come flooding back!Sandy Nawrothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00564390728106776030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-10743516960011609232009-11-04T14:13:41.457-05:002009-11-04T14:13:41.457-05:00Cool!
