Welcome to the challenge Trish and Elizabeth!

@Lisa: I don't know of an easy way. I started typing out a list of everything but it got tedious quick and I gave up :-P. I can try to finish it for everyone.

I think I'm going to go with the 'Come What May' level as there is only about 16 books on the list that I want to read so I'll just have to see how I go.
I don't think I'll get to them all but might see if I can do at least 10 of them:
