Good luck and I look forward to your reviews of the ones you haven't already reviewed.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15988251415347075888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7735223299018836451.post-60882278459827059032012-11-21T15:57:44.696+00:002012-11-21T15:57:44.696+00:00Yes, I think it's a very strong list. I've...Yes, I think it's a very strong list. I've read 8 too, including Code Name Verity, Wonder, and This Is Not Forgiveness. Like you, I'm a Code Name Verity fan too. I'd love it to win but my hunch is that something else will. I'm currently plumping for Wonder, Maggot Moon or maybe even After the Snow.<br /><br />Having looked more closely at the whole list, I think there are still a few contenders in the ones I haven't read and there a quite a few that Little M and I are both really looking forward to reading.<br /><br />Thanks for the support, Jim!Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05628601066057750860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7735223299018836451.post-69317251919358048162012-11-21T15:45:42.913+00:002012-11-21T15:45:42.913+00:00I've read eight of them:

The Things We Did For Love is also incredibly good. All of the other six I've read are good to great, as well - there's some strong competition there!<br /><br />I have to be honest though, I don't think there's anything else on the list I'm all that interested in reading at the moment. Not sure why, just nothing really capturing my imagination.<br /><br />Good luck with the shadowing, I'm sure it'll be fun to do and equally fun for us to read about!Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15408167904801253874noreply@blogger.com
