Which one was your favorite read? The Graveyard Book and The Emerald Atlas sound really good to me. But I favor the supernatural in my reading. :)
ReplyDeleteKourtney, there was something I liked in each of them, so I guess it's hard to pick just one favorite. =)
ReplyDeleteThe Graveyard Book was awesome! I agree The Emerald Atlas sounds great, too. And I've heard good things about most of these books. Great list!
ReplyDeleteBrooke, I thought The Graveyard Book was great too! And so was The Emerald Atlas!
ReplyDeleteI loved Neil Gaiman's Sandman comic books. Gonna have to see if The Graveyard Book is on Kindle. :)
ReplyDeleteKourtney, I have one of the Sandman books right here called The Dream Hunters. Which ones have you read?
