While going through this list I started to wonder how they made this list?! I really do not understand the books on here. Some are not really surprising at all, but there are some that I would never have expected on here!

So I’ve read 36/100! Which was actually more then I had expected haha! My thought on those are really diverse ahah. There is one that I DNF’ed, some that I really didn’t like but also quite some of my faves!

Also 23 are on my TBR! Some of those are really high on my TBR, others are more like ‘someday’!

What do you think of this list? How many have you read?
