I may have to borrow your entry for #37. I have been meaning to read Cinder and that's the perfect reason to!

I just stumbled upon it the other day looking for other books for the list and thought it looked really cool.

I enjoyed Cinder! I am reading Cress (#3) for my author under 30 book!

I can't wait to hear what you think of The Omen Machine. I have been incredibly hesitant about reading it after the disaster that was The Law of Nines

Thats one thing that made me a little hesitant about picking cinder....with 51 other books to read i didn't know if i wanted to start a first in a series and then I realized..."Oh, Odd Thomas series...never mind then"...LOL

I'm reading it for the 'author under 30' and it's been recommended to me a few times. I got lucky and found a brand new hardcover copy at my bookstore for $4!!


Troy it looks like you have a great plan so far :)

TBH I skipped law of nines just because I really didn't feel like it was part of the series. I am burnt out on all the re-hashing that T.G. does so thats why the Omen machine makes my bottom of my reading list book.

I got really excited to make the list...now I just have to read them!

Fixed a few mistakes and added author name links.

Changed my 100 year old book from The Brothers Karamazov to Journey to the Center of the Earth
