Anyway, one of my ideas for this year is to read 100 books and blog about each one in some form or another. I had a list of 100 books, but I had already read a few of them, so I was just going to find another list and replace the ones I had read and add them to my current list. But then I looked at my current list again and saw that there were things like "Harry Potter Series" and "The Lord of the Rings Trilogy" and I took those out because an entire series does not count as 1 book. Long story short, the list I'm giving you is a combination of a couple "100 books to read before you die lists"
