What I Saw and How I Lied wasn't my *favorite* of the bunch. But it was an enjoyable enough read. Have you read The Underneath or Chains yet?

Then maybe I'll add them to my TBR list. I haven’t heard of any of these but I’ll be on the lookout for them now to see what kind of reviews book bloggers give them.

I haven't heard of any of these except for Home, which I probably won't read because I didn't like Gilead. Thanks for sharing, Natasha! Yikes!

Janssen - I have What I Saw on hold at the library, have Disreputable in the review pile and am very excited to pick up chains. I've had it on hold for two months. Jeanette - What I Saw has been on order from our library for about three months. I'm thinking now I'll actually get it now. Ali - We just talked about Disreputable at a book club that I went to last night. Everybody liked it. Shelly - Welcome!! I'm so glad you've left a comment. I'm also glad you like the recipes. I have enjoyed making them as well. Jen – The only ones I’m familiar with are the Young Adult ones.

I think it's great that you post recipes with your reviews...that is so outside the box. :-) I LOVE IT!! I will even be using some of them. I will certainly add you to my feeds.

Maybe now that it has won this award they will order some copies. I've read The Underneath and have Chains and Frankie Landau Banks checked out from the library right now. I'd also like to look into the Non-Fiction winner. I’ve been trying to track down What I Saw and How I Lied but none of the libraries around here have it.

I LOVED Disreputable History though. I'm reading Chains right now and enjoying it. I read What I Saw earlier this month and didn’t particularly love it. I LOVED Disreputable History though.
