It’s so hard to stop at 15!
If any of you enjoy similar kinds of books and have some read-alikes to recommend, please do!
Thanks for the list. I’ve only read a few of yours as well. I’ve added the rest to my list to check out at the library.
Clan of the Cave Bear series! Totally forgot that one Cheryl! I’ll have to borrow it from my mother and re read them (for about the 4th time in my life so far!) Some of the others you mentioned look good too. Interesting to see what types of books people lean towards isn’t it? ๐

I have read 3 on your list. There are a few on there I have been meaning to read.
Katie – Thanks for starting such a fun list!
Monica – Yes, they’re great aren’t they? I have the newest one on my shelf but haven’t read it yet. Sounds like something to do with my holidays!
Phelan – I’d love to hear what you think if you read them.
