Round 8 of Recommendations

I guess I spoke a little too quickly last week.  It's true that I don't have 25 - but I do have 22 - in just 1 week!  Remember that I'm only listing books that have been highly rated. For those who rate on a 5- star system, that means 4.5 or 5.  And for those who rate on a 10-star system, it's a 9 or 10.  These are obviously books that people REALLY LIKED A LOT! So here's the next batch.  And all of the recommenders are bloggers unless I specify otherwise (aren't you glad you know that?).

  1. A lot of those titles are new to me, but a few aren't. I can't wait to tell Ryan you included his recommendation - he'll be thrilled!

  2. Heck yes. It's all about the review, not the age of the reviewer!
