You have picked some wonderful books for the spin; I'm so curious to see what everyone's number will be.
I should do this. I've been having a difficult time deciding what to read next lately. It'd be nice to have someone else choose for me.
I have a couple of your titles on my list. Hope the spin will give you something you will love.
Whitney - Me too, it's kind of fun not to know what I'll be reading next.
Kristi - This would be perfect then!
Cat - I hope so! Even if it doesn't, maybe it will give me the push I need to start one I'm dreading.
