in these 20 books, many genres are represented - historical romance, supernatural, realistic fiction, steampunk, and even a short story collection and some erotica (which i don't generally read much of). there's a good amount of YA, but also a good amount of non-YA, and even some non-fiction and a bit of satire, and one book by the author of my all time favorite short story.  (also: zombies. wheeee!) basically? my friends are awesome.

all in all, i think this makes for a really great selection, and i'm super excited to get started on the list. (side note: a handful of these are already on my shelves, either literally here in my living room, or on my tbr list on goodreads, which is pretty cool.)

have you read any of these books? do you want to?

oh, PS: i'm about to be in a book club again, and i'm insanely excited about that, too. :)
