i have read 45 out of the 100 of the books...BUT of the hero/villain ones, i've read 11 of 13. the good vs evil plot appeals to me, i suppose.
there was interesting commentary on tuesday night's episode about the reasons why we love these kinds of books.

Funny, that's about how many on the list I have read too.

Has anyone else taken the quiz?

I've read 30+ on the list and you're making me feel like a slacker.

I felt guilty for only reading 45... then I rememberd it includes a lot of YA and 50 shades of grey...so I don't feel too bad 🤣

I’m at 33. And although I’ve read Flowers in the Attic, I have not read Fifty Shades. Nor will I.
