Hmmm. 4. Was at one until they got to Marley and Me and then the young adult fiction category. Thank goodness for YA fiction! Helps me keep up with my students and not appear to dislike reading as much as I do 😂 Zero judgment. I love to read (but have terrible recall, if I don't take notes during or right after reading a book, it's almost like it didn't happen). I have only one sibling, a sister. She can be bored out of her mind but wouldn't enjoy reading a book. I've never really understood it. If you can shed some light it might help me understand this facet of her better.

I have read seven and have several of the books either on my book shelf or on my kindle waiting to be read. There’s also a couple where I think I may have read them, but I can’t remember if I actually did or not.

OMG "The Night Circus" is the most fabulous book ever. I was going to comment that this was my least favorite of the 18 I’ve read lol

Wow, I read a LOT, and I have only read 16 of those. I did find some new ones I would like to read, like The Night Circus.

I did not love Ask Again, Yes for some reason.
My favorites on that list: The Great Alone (I pretty much love anything by Kristin Hannah, though) All the Light We Cannot See Educated The Glass Castle (Half Broke horses by the same author is really good, too)

(Half Broke horses by the same author is really good, too) I've read 25 on the list, although a few were decades ago. Not all were 5 stars IMHO.

I have read 5 or 6 of them, and to be honest I was surprised it was that many! I tend to stick to the same few authors such as Michael Connelly, David Baldacci, Jeffrey Deaver, Lee Childs, Angela Marsons, Faith Martin, Ian Rankin, and I didn't expect any of them to be on the list.

I’ve read 30 of those and I’d say it’s a good list. I rarely rate anything five stars but a couple of mine are on there.

I have read 16 of them. There are a few on the list I would still like to read. There are are several I have no interest in reading at all.
I think reading these kinds on lists. I always read Obama’s list.

23 for me Some of favourites are on that list, and definitely some 5 star reads and others were good reads and enjoyable. P&P The Book Thief Me Before You The Fault In Our Stars Where The Crawdads Sing The Remains Of The Day Man Called Ove All The Light
However there are a couple on that list I REALLY disliked and would not recommend - The 7 ½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle was complete nonsense & I also didn't like The Night Circus at all, nor Ask Again Yes.
There's 16 books on that list I have no intention of ever reading (TERF author of the Potter book, Zombies, civil war, Asimov etc)
Of the ones left, there's probably 3 on the list I definitely intend to read.

The 7&1/2 deaths of Evelyn ...was the most horrible book I have ever read. Dreadful. No one in my book club had anything good to say about it. I read nine on that list.

Thank you for posting that. I love to read the Best Books lists. I have read 5 of those. But I have 2 in my TBR stack.

This was a great list! Usually I read a list and have little interest in most of the books. I’ve read more than half of these and adding the rest to my want-to-read list. Thanks for sharing.

34 for me. I read a lot and I distinctly remember the plot of all 34 so I know they rank highly in my brain (I read so much that I forget plot lines a lot)

I have read 10 but I have TRIED to read several listed and just couldn't do it. Including night circus. It's a really different kind of list and I'm definitely gonna bookmark it and try to join the 21st century. Most of the ones I have read were the older ones...

I've read 15 (or 21, depending on if you count HP as a series or 7 books). All those I've read I really enjoyed. There are quite a few more that I have either bought for my kindle or are on my amazon wishlist, but right now my brain is mush and can't handle 'deep' reading.

You must be my sister from another mother! I LOVE all of those authors. I just discovered Ian Rankin.

I’ve read 5, some I haven’t read but they are in my kindle/audible library. Most I think of as “book club books”, which automatically makes me think twice. I’m prejudiced like that. Some I have tried to read and it just doesn’t work for me. Some I’ve only seen the movie, which means I’ll never read the book. I was a voracious reader up until around 2000 and I’ve steadily read less and less since then. Too many other interests have gotten in the way and consumed my leisure time.
