I’ve seen this idea of swapping book lists floating around for a couple of weeks now, and (since I think I’m going to forgo most challenges next year) I got to thinking that it might be a fun idea to throw my towel in the ring. So I rounded up two of my bookish friends from my online book group, Corinne and Tricia, and we all swapped lists.

Here they are:

Corinne’s for me:
On Fortune’s Wheel by Cynthia Voigt
Precious Bane by Mary Webb
either The Zookeeper’s Wife or The Natural History of the Senses by Diane Ackerman
Cold Sassy Tree by Olive Ann Burns
Pastwatch or Wyrms by Orson Scott Card
Bonus: A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, by Betty Smith

Tricia’s for me:
The Lincolns ~ Candace Fleming
Unwind ~ Neal Shusterman
Crossing to Safety ~ Wallace Stegner
Drums, Girls & Dangerous Pie ~ Jordan Sonnenblick
The Power of One ~ Bryce Courtenay

Corinne’s for Tricia:
Davita’s Harp by Chaim Potok
A Room with a View by E. M. Forster
A Woman in Berlin by anonymous (okay, this is an intense book, it floored me and sickened me and made me think about a lot of things) or Refuge: An Unnatural History of Family and Place by Terry Tempest Williams
Summers at Castle Auburn by Sharon Shinn
Quest for a Maid by Frances Mary Hendry

I’ve read the first two and Refuge, but it’s been a very long time, so I think I’m going to reread them as well.

Tricia’s for Corinne:
The Only Alien on the Planet ~ Kristen D. Randle
The Wednesday Wars ~ Gary D. Schmidt
Sabriel ~ Garth Nix
The Shadow of the Wind ~ Carlos Ruiz Zafon
Letters to a Young Poet ~ Rainer Maria Rilke

I’m excited to read all of these!
