I flagged this!!
@JohnAre you the author of this book? If so, do not promote your book like this, as it is not nice (and there are other ways to promote your book).
@JoanDon't promote your own book like that, as it is not nice! (Besides, there are other ways to promote a book.)

Sorry Book, I wasn't trying to not be nice. I thought this was where you promote your book. J
The Hobbit (Tolkien)? :) And "Black Leopard and Red Wolf" (Marlon James)?
I have a feeling books have been added to this list... If I remember correctly, there were only 12 books on this list (and the title says so!), and now there are 15. Furthermore, there is a book on the list that wasn't there; I'm sure of it (as I own it).
