I've read 24 books, these lists are dangerously addictive!

[Amber]

I've read a few on the list. Read the harry potter series, matilda, the stand, lion witch and the wardrobe, a Christmas carol, the hobbit, great Gatsby, Winnie the pooh and great expectations.

[LauraT]

Almost all of them!!

I'll see the list when I'm home!
I've counted them:62. Not so many as I thought

[Hales]

47 out of 100 (sorry for not writing them all) so many of the other on my to-read list, could be more by the end of the year.
