I'm finally able to...Hallo, Hallo everyone! :)<br /><br />I'm finally able to resume my participation in Top Ten Tuesdays!! :) I've missed making the lists and have been trying for a few weeks to settle back into the meme! I wasn't even sure if I should make a list this week, as I am embarking on reading soo many authors I've wanted to read for such a long time -- therefore, I added a few I'm attempting to read this year with a heap I know I will not get too as well! :) Eager to make my rounds and see what everyone else has listed!<br /><br />For the hosts:<br /><br />Out of your combined lists, John Grisham I do highly recom'd as I read him whilst I was a teenager, and ironically that was 20 years ago! :O Laughs. I loved his ability to convey strong emotional ties between his characters and his readers! Top marks from me on his behalf! I'd not recom'd starting with "A Time to Kill" as I did regret that that was my 'first' Grisham; I'd opt instead to suggest "The Pelican Brief" which is my absolute favourite by far outside of "The Client"!! :) Equally both motion pictures were well enjoyed -- read the books first though!<br /><br />As much as it saddened me, Clare's spin on steampunk was too intense & violent for my tastes,... my quest for steampunk is still evolving but ooh! How I wanted to become excited for her series! :(<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345948308406299194.post-25994838802488748902014-03-05T13:49:18.358-05:002014-03-05T13:49:18.358-05:00Sadly, John Green is on my list too.Sadly, John Green is on my list too.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16999072127168998585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345948308406299194.post-89264754478666129432014-03-04T22:26:21.042-05:002014-03-04T22:26:21.042-05:00I'm not the only one who hasn't read John ...I'm not the only one who hasn't read John Green!
