100 Books To Read In a Lifetime List
So, I have read 34 of the 100. Most of them are books I read as a student or to my children. There are 5 on my TBR and 7 that I started and did not finish.
I think this is a very interesting tag, so I if you have not been nominated but would like to do it please do. It will be fun to see what everyone had read and whether we agree with this list. I will nominate some of my friends, but if you don’t want to do it that is fine.

I think a lit of it had to do with my frame of mind when I started reading them. I keep saying I will try Handmaid’s Tale again and maybe this is the tine to do it.

Good job! 34 is awesome 🙂 Plus having at least attempted to read 7 of the others is really good. That is one of the best scores I have seen!

Like I said, a lot of them are kids books that I read when I was a lot younger or to my children, then I was an English geek in high school so read a lot of them as well.

I can understand 3 of the first 4, but Cold Blood?! Could not put it down. Loved the Dickens also and taught The Handmaid’s Tale a zillion times as I think it’s a really important book and good, too. That first movie, though, ICK.

Wow! I think yours is the biggest haul out of the 100 that I’ve seen so far. Thanks for sharing Carla 🙂 I’ve only read 20 of them and was probably like you and started a few I never finished, haha
