DeleteWow Rina, I LOVE your presentation here!! I've read many of these books and you make me want to read them again from how you listed them, GREAT job :) I'm totally with you on 1,2, 6,7,9. The first thing I notice is the author's name and whether I've enjoyed their work before. I also look at the cover and summary to see if I can understand what the journey of the story will be like. Love the variety you posted here, hugs and blessings to you!
ReplyDeleteThank you Kara! Most of those are worth rereading. Go for it! :-) Love the things you look for, I should have put familiar/previously-enjoyed author on the list. But I didn't think of it. Hugs and blessings to you as well!
