I have always wanted to read "Waves", maybe this would be a great opportunity to actually do it too!!!
I am going to try to link this with Carnegie shortlist/longlist because that involves so much reading as well.
I have seen a few Irish authors appearing on some bloggers' lists. Can they be included, even though they are not theoritically "British" (I have an Irish husband and they are VERY touchy about these things LOL)?
This is a really cool challenge, and I love that it's a regional one for those of you in the UK! Good luck, Becky! I look forward to your reviews :)
Library Mice, my personal thought is that Irish writers should not be included in the challenge because the likelihood is they will not perceive themselves as British. I also think there was an Irish authors/books challenge last year so perhaps they can be read for that. Will you let me know the authors that shouldn't be counted? Thanks
Melissa, thanks!
Love your list Becky. I'll have to do more research...I need to add to my list :)
Wow, you compiled a great list! I'm looking forward to the reviews already!
This is such a cool challenge! I willl have to consider a bit but I think I will sign up! For now, I will start by being your newest follower :-)
Great list! Some of these books will probably be on my list too (Incarceron, The declaration in particular :)) (I'm not sure of my list so far ^^)
Michelle, hope you find some great books.
Irena, thanks!
Willa, welcome to The Bookette!
Pisinat, I still can't believe that I haven't read The Declaration. I've had a copy for ages.
Interesting list - Incarceron is frankly amazing, and I thought Shadow Web was really unique and interesting. I should probably add some older titles to my list.
I will have to add The Returners as I have a library copy. I will take my irish authors off my list *sigh* Bye Derek Landy and Sarah Rees Brennan.
Cool - its always good to hear about British writers!
Good luck with your challenge! There are a few on there that I have had my eye on, especially Incarceron. I've been meaning to read that one. A lot of my students really enjoyed it. I look forward to your reviews!
Ooh. You've given me lots of great ideas to add to my list! Will be typing it up soon so I can join with this one..
Oh I've read Shadow Web and The Declaration before.
They are both equally good. :)
WE is flippin fantastic. A rare teen sci-fi novel.
Joan
Don't Ask is brilliant, and so are all the other books by Hilary Freeman!
