Hey!
Nothing stops me like book stuff. My BFF’s daughter had this on her Facebook and I have to see how many of these 100 books I’ve read… I will editorialize a bit, I fear.
Apparently the BBC reckons most people will have only read 6 of the 100 books here.Instructions:1) Look at the list and put an 'x' after those you have read.2) Add a '+' to the ones you LOVE.3) Tally your total at the bottom.How many have you read?
