My Top Ten can actually divided neatly in half: five books I read as a real young adult and five books I read as an older adult. It was hard to narrow the first group down to five, but also hard to find as many as five good ones for the second group!<br /><br />And your list reminded me of some "old" favourites I didn't think of in time for own list.Enbrethilielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03414765854670926854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3868395077988310106.post-78728120794256763192010-04-30T09:37:48.650-07:002010-04-30T09:37:48.650-07:00@Heather: Gonna go check yours out now!

Meet one of my best friends, Kayla Mikaela -- the one that borrowed my laptop for the time being, and decided to leave a comment on this post while using it. Of course, since I was still logged on to Blogger, the comment automatically said it came from 'Jillian.' This of course is coming off as if I wrote the comment to myself. Anyway, our apologies :/<br /><br />@E: I don't think it's bad manners at all, if you ask nicely. Although you can always start the meme without the 'official' badge :)<br /><br />@Kayla: I still love you but next time, use your own laptop, woman lolJillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07629286727932554109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3868395077988310106.post-75840868792347212112010-04-29T23:02:58.940-07:002010-04-29T23:02:58.940-07:00Ooops, totally forgot to logoff your username whil...Ooops, totally forgot to logoff your username while writing the comment.

Just felt like I'm too much of an awkward person to do it! Haha. If you ever do read The Lightning Thief, I'd love to hear what you think of it :)<br /><br />@Tim: Thank you so much. You already know how much of an awkward person I am when I talk in front of people, sooo if you say I looked comfortable enough, I'll just trust you! You inspire me to be better at everything I do.<br /><br />@Anne: I loved your list, and I have to say, I also love your blog name! Harry, Percy, and I -- so clever! :D <br /><br />@E: Haha thank you! Glad you liked it! Hope I wasn't awkward or anything =p<br />Now I am curious, E, where are you originally from? I'd love to know if you don't mind sharing. <br />And I guess <i>The Diary of a Young Girl</i> isn't exactly a "novel," you're right. But I looked it up and it does belong in the YA non-fiction section. <br />P.S. - Can not wait for your meme! I really love the idea. <br /><br />@Medeia: I do too, and having this meme constantly challenges me! And thank you, glad you enjoyed it. :) If you ever do the list, I'd love to read it.<br /><br />@Becky: Yay, looking forward to your list again, Becky!<br /><br />@Kelly: Thank you so much! I recommend all of them! :)<br />PS - Please do put your other Top Ten Picks posts on the Mr.Linky on each of the topics. I'd love to have all of your lists visible for everyone to see and check out!

You did a great job of covering all the picks and explaining briefly why you liked each one. If they're personal recommendations of yours it's safe to assume they're good reads :) Keep up the awesome job, looking forward to more!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17493509318412950355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3868395077988310106.post-5157985678165634632010-04-28T01:10:17.872-07:002010-04-28T01:10:17.872-07:00I like vlogs!
