    1. When I saw this list I was disappointed. There are so many amazing books that aren't even listed.

      Just wondering, was the movie version of Beastly like the book? I liked the book.

    2. I've read about 34 of them (not counting the individual books of series). I still have to read An Abundance of Katherines, but when my bookstore didn't have it and neither did my library!
