✔️indicates that I have read it
*** indicates I have read it, but would possibly like to reread for this challenge


Wow, I haven't even heard of some of the books on here!! I'm excited :)

Do we have to read all 100 before the year is over?

Read at your own pace. Its just a list of books to have fun with. I hope to read at least 3 this year, hopefully more.

Ok, thanks! & is there some secret to keeping track of which ones I've read? Like a way to mark them off?

You can edit your list above. You could also add a shelf to your personal bookshelves and entitle it 100 books challenge. Just make sure to shelve each book there once you've read it.

Ok thanks again!! How do you edit the above list?

There should be an 'edit' option at the bottom of each post. Only you can edit your posts.

Thanks so much for all the advice!

Anytime. So glad you've joined the group!

I'm replacing some books.
Replace #43 The Bible with Then There Were None by Agatha Christie
Replace #59 Atlas Shrugged with Under the Dome by Stephan King
Replace #66 Exodus with Lord of the Flies
Replace #70 with Frankenstein
