Thank you! I love this! Not only ded it give me some good book recommendations, but introduced me to some great reviews and reviewers. I'm looking forward to tracking all of these down so I can read the reviews!

I was really enjoying that list, until I saw that you used my reviews for Stephenie Meyer's section, then I got so excited that I couldn't continue reading and had to come straight to the bottom to write this comment. I'm so honoured that you chose my reviews to highlight Meyer's influence on today's YA, and otherwise, reading public. Really pleased to see others finding uses for my random, and not particularly sophisticated (especially those two reviews) writing. To anyone who hasn't read a Stephenie Meyer book, if there are any left out there who haven't 'decided' not to read her on purpose, I would still recommend her books, even after all these years.

Kinda poor selection of writers. How is Ann Patchett influencing Europe? O.o

I hope to add my name to this list one day. And I see 3 of the 10 share the same day as I was born!! There's hope for me yet! :)

I have the same birthday as Jane Austen :) except its some centuries later lol.
