Exceeded Expectations: 100 Books That Were Better Than Todd Thought They Were Going to Be - Page 2

Some of these I thought would be good, and they turned out to be absolutely brilliant. Some I thought were going to be fairly awful, and they turned out to be good. Anyone else want to post one of these lists? I think it would be fun (and interesting) to get TBRs from other people's "exceeded expectations" lists. H/T to Korrick for the original "exceeded expectations" list. Happy reading!
