As most of you know, I'm on Goodreads. Based on the books I've put on various shelves, Goodreads makes suggestions of other books it thinks I might like. Some I've read but it was so long ago that I can't remember enogh to rank them. Others I am unsure of, or even downright suspicious about.
So, I would like you to look over a typical recommendations list (this is from my "Read" shelf) and if you've read one of these or are familiar with the buzz, give me some info. I'm sorting these into alphabetical by title.
