Hello, everyone! Hope you’re all doing well this week. I was recently tagged for the “Amazon’s 100 Books to Read in a Lifetime” Tag by my sweet friend, Noriko@Diary of a Bookfiend. I’d like to say thank you for tagging me for this. Please be sure to check out her blog if you haven’t already for awesome bookish posts and amazing book reviews!
This is certainly a fun tag to see what you have and haven’t read. I’ve seen a lot of these lists online including Goodreads and there are so many I have to catch up on!
Rules:
- Include the link to Amazon’s List
- Tag the creator of the meme (Perfectly Tolerable)
- Tag and thank the Person that tagged you
- Copy the list below and indicate which ones you have read
- Tally up your total
- Comment on the post you were tagged in and let them know how many you read
- Tag 5 new people! (And comment on one of their posts to let them know you tagged them)
100 BOOKS TO READ IN A LIFETIME LIST
-My total comes to 29-
There are so many I still need to read, but I don’t think this number is too bad. There are a lot of these lists out there, but I’m hoping to complete some of these books this year.
I Tag:
I know I’m probably re-tagging a lot of people right now, and many of you may have already done this tag, but here goes! No pressure to do the tag if you don’t want to. Please link back to me if you do so that I can read your answers. 🙂
Wow your total is far better than mine! I’ve only read 6 and a half 😛

There are so many other lists too which have more or less reads lol. It’s still fun to see though! 😊 I think I’d like to make my own lost hahaha. 💖

That would be cool! I never follow these lists because they have so many books I would hate to read… P&P for example… I read about 50 pages of that and gave up, I could never read it fully

I still need to read P&P! I’ve been shying away from it for years. My mom just read it and she seemed to like it though. I feel like I at least need to give it a try. I agree though, many of these I have no inclination to read either. ❤

I’m impressed by your 29. I came up with 15 😉

I totally spaced that you did this tag already! I knew I was re-tagging, haha. Honestly, with this list, I felt pretty good, but there are other lists where I hardly have any, lol. I just want to read what I want to at this point. ❤

I know right. Yes, there are some I’ll read because I think I should but for the rest… just what I want.

Thanks, Abby! When I first read Alice in Wonderland, I think I failed to comprehend it fully (for the lack of my English fluency) so I really want to re-read it again 🙂

Thanks for tagging me. ☺️

It’s totally not pathetic! It just depends on which list you look at really. There are others out there with not many of my reads on them that may have more of yours. You’re welcome for the tag. No pressure to do it. ❤ Have a great week! 😀

I hear you on the interest. I see about 3-4 that I really want to read this year, but not sure that I’ll get to them. Like I mentioned, it really just depends on what list you look at. Other lists hardly have any of my reads on there! 🙂 Have a great week! ❤

It’s actually not sad at all! It just depends on what list you look at. You can see other lists on Goodreads as well. This one is nice to use as reference though for the books you might have an interest in and want to read! ❤ Thanks, Abbey. You should do this tag!! 😉

I didn’t know Amazon had a 100 Books to read list, lol. Looks like 47/100 for me, and I can’t say that there are very many more on the list that I want to read (maybe 15-20), and some of these I’ve never heard of before LOL. Several of those I read because they were required for my degree. The Secret History is on my TBR to read this year for one of the prompts to the Popsugar challenge. You’ve read several that I haven’t 🙂 ❤

Thank you! In all honesty, if I weren’t an English Literature professor for16 yrs and had to teach several of these books as part of my curriculum or many of these books were required readings on various syllabi when I earned my Master’s and while working on my PhD in English Literature, I doubt I would have read as many as I have! Maybe only half if I had to guess, lol. Very cool tag!! 😊😊

Stephanie! Wow! 47 is amazing. You blasted past me. 😉 I see a few I’m definitely aiming for, but my list is staying for now. How are you doing? Please message me when you can. No pressure though, I know you’re busy. 💖❤💖 Hope all is well with you. 😗

Lol!! Only that many because I was either forced to because some were part of my Master’s degree courses or PhD courses. And quite a few have been books that I’ve taught over the past 16 years. I can’t say I’ve liked all 47, haha! I’m not too bad!! I was actually going to message you earlier this afternoon! I had freetime, logged onto my laptop onto hangouts, then I got a phone call out of the blue from my mother who I haven’t spoken to except via text in over a year!! It was wild!! Anyway!! I’m going to try and get with you this week!! Tomorrow might be crazy, and Thurs I have back to back Dr appt…just to follow up, nothing is wrong. Maybe the weekend will be not crazy!! Miss you! Hope you’re ok!! 🤗🤗❤❤🤗🤗😘😘
