I didn't read any of Stephen King's picks, either. But I do have one on your list - P.S., I Love You. Haven't finished it yet, though.
Btw, LASR sent me here and I'm glad. I like the look of your blog.
I came over from LASR. I like all your dogs and cats photos. I never even heard of half those authors, but I guess that's what comes of reading mostly romance. I have a couple of the books on your list and just bought the movie, P.S. I love you.
I haven't read the picks either. LOL! And I don't even feel guilty. How sad is that?
Arriving via LASR. Fun blog!
I think you and I have similar reading tastes! LASR sent me over here. Nice blog!
Aww, thanks for including A Firefighter in the Family. You're sweet. And this gives me a great idea for my own blog post before the end of the year. :)t
I really enjoyed this post and I do beleive that I found some books that I just had to add to my TBR I am so glad that LASR sent me here. Have a happy holiday.
I didn't read any of those either...LOL>..but your picks look good. I did come over from LASR.

I LOVED Larissa's Pleasure Unbound. Can't wait for her next book in March!
I'm here from LASR.
Stephen King's list is very eclectic, isn't it. I don't think I'd be able to narrow my list down to ten.

How exciting to be the featured blog! I'm glad I had an interesting topic today :)
Margay and Kathy, I loved the book, though it was very different than the movie. Very touching.
Kathy, I mostly read romance, too. It makes me happy!
Exactly, Pauline. Why feel guilty for reading what we love?
Liana, I love your books! Thanks for coming by!
Trish, you deserve to be on the list!
Sarabelle, if your TBR is like mine, I'm very sorry :)
Jeanine, I enjoyed every one, though some took me a while to read!
Michelle, I need to go add Larissa's new book to my wish list!
Deidre, narrowing the list was tough, but I've been keeping track through the year!
