Anna, you have some phenomenal books on this list. I loved like ten of them. What a great year you are about to have!

Thanks :) They're mostly books I know I should read but never got around to, and never felt like picking up because there was always something more interesting to read, or I knew they would be difficult reads. This should really trim my TBR down, but unfortunately seeing everyone else's will most likely make me add more to it!

You have quite a few on your list that I want to read-so I will be watching what gets picked for you and perhaps join you in a few

I'm going to have Rebecca on my list so could join you for that.

Me too!

If Tsar of Love and Techno comes up for you, I could buddy read with you. It's not on my 36, but it is something I've been meaning to get to as well.

I've read 10 from your list with mixed results but loved Longitude. I hope you'll get to that one!

Hi here are the changes or suggestions that relate to you. Let me know if there are any problems.

#13 The Hate you give – Annapi28 , Barbara13 ,Nicole13, jw15

New people added to these books:
Kite runner – Annapi5 , AJ21, Nancy (I can't do 5 or 21, so I'll find another number later).
Nightingale – Charlotte30, Annapi17 , LindaC20

Hi, if it's not too late, would you like to coordinate Kite Runner on #36 (the safe spot). I put it back on my list.

Thank you so much for putting together the spreadsheet. It was enormously helpful.
