    I have some reading to do then! I do own a couple of these but haven't gotten to them yet . . . sadly, Cold Cereal is the only one I've read.

    Awesome that Shelley's book made it. The only one I've read is The Spindlers. Sorry that The False Prince didn't make it. It should have.

    I read SON, so I'm glad it's on the list. And I also am surprised that THE FALSE PRINCE isn't on the list. I want to read THE SPINDLERS.
