gotta move, gotta choose

I realized that I was perhaps a bit disingenuous when I deleted my drafts for Epiphany. See, while I deleted 18 drafts and that was great, I still have 100 left. My wording in that post was unclear on that point. I keep a lot of drafts.

But the other day I was voting for Teen Choice awards for YA books in 2013, and in order to narrow it down to 5 I had to go through the list and write down every book I read that I would be willing to see on a top choices list, even if I might not necessarily vote for them. To keep track, I created another draft.

And it's bugging me to have 101 drafts. So here's the 18 or so books I narrowed the list down to before I picked the 5 to vote for (indicated by a hyphen). It was pretty tough; try not to judge me for not voting for a book you loved, because chances are I loved it too.
