A Summer Giveaway - Results and "A" Books!

On the giveaway form I said you could get an extra point for recommending a book that you think is an "A" or an "A-", but you only get the point if we haven't read it (or if it's already 'in the works').
I compiled a list of the books, and while there were many duplicates, I thought it was a decent enough list to peruse for more TBRs:
(Just to clarify - these are not MY "A"s or "A-"s, these are from the entries for the giveaway.)

Purge, by Sofi Oksanen
The Dark Divine, by Bree Despain
The Little Giant of Aberdeen County, by Tiffany Baker

Also, I couldn't find a great image to go with this, but it's Banned Book Week. And while there are books that I won't read, for the most part they're not ever even found on those lists! For banned book week challenges, go here - and let me know what you're doing! Since I've read most on those lists anyways, I'm not doing anything special, but just thought I'd do a quick shout out.
