FIVE Challenge: Most Anticipated


I've been wanting to do some sort of a wrap-up post with 2010, with regards to reading books and blogging. What better way to get started than through Persnickety Snark's challenge? Hope you're a part of this challenge too! If you are, go ahead--comment and link to your blog so I can check out what great reads you picked up in 2010!



MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
May 2011 be an even more prosperous year than this one was, and I wish you all a healthy and safe holiday. Thank you for visiting/following Words on Paper, and I will resume normal posting over the new year.



Today's 5 is for...

Your list of books is not my cup of tea but I can fully understand the idea of re-reading a favourite. I have done this with several books I have liked.

Wishing you a very happy christmas.
I don't re-read much either as I have a huge stack waiting to be read. If I Stay is turning up on lots of list. I going now to order Tell Me a Secret :)
Oh wow I didn't know about All You Desire or The Power of Six! Can't wait for those :D
nothing like cheating hey?

like your picks and i'm thinking 2011 will be an awesome year for reading!

merry christmas cass!

Hey Nomes, is there some Aussie YA release list or something? And when you call it cheating it makes it sound even worse. :( I'm making this particular list work for me and my indecisiveness. Seriously, I was pulling my hair out before I came to this arrangement.
Merry Christmas! :) Don't worry about forgetting Lola and the Boy Next Door because I forgot about Delirium! I only remembered it when I saw your list.
Love the way you broke it up - it was hard narrowing it down to five. Here is our 5
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas! Great list Cass! Divergent and Like Madrian nearly made mine :)
Good choices! I'm looking forward to all the standalones you are but I've only read Gayle Forman's If I Stay, and so from the sequels I'm definitely looking forward to Where She Went.

Have a Merry Christmas and a happy holidays!
I have no idea why my comments were posted three times ... very strange and sorry about that.
Cass! This is an excellent post. I'm totally looking forward to Between Shades of Gray, and I had no clue about those other sequels besides Where She Went. Great HM, too!
