I saw this on Baking Thad Books, and even though I wasn’t tagged I couldn’t resist joining in. In case you can’t tell by now, I love lists. I used to have a reading journal (which I obviously kept up with for longer than 2 months…) that had all kinds of lists at the back. The lists were my favorite part, lol. I don’t know, I guess I feel like if I was ever stuck and couldn’t figure out what to read next I could always just read something off my favorite list.
Also, thanks to this tag I’ve officially added Bel Canto to my tbr. It’s been recommended to me so many times, both online and by people I actually know. I just never really cared enough to actually bother. But at this point I can take a hint. I’ll read it, already!
How to Play:
- Include the link to Amazon’s List
- Tag the creator of the meme (Perfectly Tolerable)
- Tag and thank the Person that tagged you
- Copy the list below and indicate which ones you have read
- Tally up your total
- Comment on the post you were tagged in and let them know how many you read
- Tag 5 new people! (And comment on one of their posts to let them know you tagged them)
DISCLAIMER: ALL AMAZON LINKS ARE AFFILIATE LINKS. IF YOU PURCHASE ANY OF THESE BOOKS THROUGH ONE OF THE LINKS, PERFECTLY TOLERABLE WILL GET A SMALL COMMISSION!
33 out of 100. A lot less than I imagine some people, but pretty much par for course for me when it comes to lists like these. Maybe I should make a Top 100 books and see how many the people at Amazon have read!
(Also, Goodnight Moon, seriously? I have at least 4 goodnight books on my kid’s bookshelf that are WAY better.)
Since I wasn’t tagged I’m bending the rules and not tagging anyone specific. (Also, because I’ve already done a couple of tags this month and don’t like to feel like I’m bothering people). But if you also like tags, feel free to tag yourself! ❤
So what about you? How many have you read? Are there any books on this list that you think maybe shouldn’t be?
If you like lists, check out http://www.listchallenges.com/lists/books . There are all sorts of different ‘how many of these books have you read?’ lists. Be warned, though. It’s easy to fall down the rabbit hole there…

This is a really cool tag! I haven’t done a tag in a while, I might just have to pick up on this one. I haven’t read very many books on that list, though, haha. I do hope to read 1984 sometime before the end of this month. I’ve heard a lot of positive things about it and I don’t read a lot of classics, so I decided I ought to give it a try.

I thought this list was interesting because it WASN’T just the Classics. BBC’s Top 100 I’ve read a lot more books from because it’s very classics-heavy, but I thought this list had a good mix of genres.

I am a total list person too! And I really liked this list because It wasn’t just classics (like you pointed out to Claire) it is a good mix of genres.

Honestly, some of the genres felt like it was cheating a little bit. Like the pictures books. I felt guilty counting The Very Hungry Caterpillar which I “read” in Kindergarten. It doesn’t seem quite the same as some of the monsters on that list, like Cloud Atlas, for example.

Part of their “criteria” was that it covered all ages, so that is why there were Children’s books on there!
