Melissa, you are killing me! Okay, I'm going to give this a go. Pretty sure I will not get half of these read, but you never know. Can we just keep track of it here?

This is a stretch with this one, but it is set (mostly) in Wales and there are very important, climactic and final scenes on the water.

I thought the same thing after I posted it but I figure I can hit most of them somehow with books I would read anyway? Or maybe not but what the heck?!
