  1. I haven't read any of these. I wanted to read The Help though and hope to see it soon; the film was such a good one :)

    1. The Help is really good. I read the book before the movie and they did a good job of staying true to the book.

  3. You have some great books on your list. The Art of Racing in the Rain was good, different sort of book that I too thoroughly enjoyed.
    I am not sure what Tempting the Player is about but I like Jennifer Armentrout and that cover looks sexy so I might need to give it a read!

    1. Thank you! The Art of Racing in the Rain is the reason I no longer read books about animals :-)I would highly recommend Tempting the Player if you like adult novels.

    1. I read The Selection last year when it came out. I definitely need to do a re-read before The Elite.

  8. I've only read The Hunger Games and The Help, both of which I loved. Most of the rest of them are on my TBR list, though. :) Water For Elephants is actually *on* my desk right now, waiting to be read soon. lol

    Thanks for stopping by my TTT

    1. I hope you enjoy Water for Elephants. It is an exceptional book, so much better than the movie.

  9. I've read a few of these, but all were while I was a blogger. Since I've been at it since 2006, it was hard to come up with books I read BEFORE I started blogging. I managed to think of 10, but only barely!

    1. I can imagine how difficult that was. I had a hard time and I have only been blogging a few months. So many of my favorite books have been read over the last few months, thanks to connecting with other bloggers. :-)
