Great list of books. I am currently buried under lots of classics but really need to add some newer reads. I think I can get lots of ideas from your place. :) Thanks for sharing!

You should try The River of No Return. Most of it takes place in the 1800s, so it's classic-like. But it's also about time travel, so it's newer as well. It's a good book!

Like Water for Chocolate is the perfect book for a read-a-thon! It's short, sweet, and a good in-between read!

Exactly! I read it all in one day, which helped bump up my read-a-thon numbers!
