One of my favorite things about having a book blog is meeting other book bloggers from around the world. Keeping Up With the Penguins, a book blog by Sheree in Australia, is one of my favorites! She’s been a friend of Off the Beaten Shelf for a long time and is a fantastic follow on Twitter.

So when Sheree asked me to weigh in on the concept of books we “should” be reading or have read (which y’all know I have opinions about!) I couldn’t pass up the chance. Me and several other book bloggers dish it out on the Keeping Up With the Penguins blog here.

Got opinions on reading “shoulds”? Let me and Sheree know!
