Thanks to Merrilee Faber, I HAD to take a break from the mad writing to participate in this list…I probably should just have highlighted the books that I haven’t read at least partially…

Also, I don’t know what happened to the other book since I just saw 99?  Won’t comment on the fact that His Dark Materials is a series of THREE books, Harry Potter is SEVEN books,  and that the Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe is PART of The Chronicles of Narnia…

Have you read more than 6 of these books? The BBC believes most people will have read only 6 of the 100 books listed here.

Instructions:
• Copy this list.
• Bold those books you’ve read in their entirety.
• Italicize the ones you started but didn’t finish or read only an excerpt.
• Tag other book nerds.
