56 books in 101 days…
Background info: My mother has an extensive library of books which I’ve read at least 4 times each however, a year or so (fuzzy memory) before I left for college she came across a reading list, printed it off, realized she’d read them all in French at one point or another. Of course, she hadn’t bought these books so I’d never read most of them… Long story short, I picked up the list and decided to read all the books on that list before I turned 21 or graduated college (whichever one gave me more time) …
Flash forward to today: I found the list in a pile of papers and uh… I’ve read 16 books off the list of 67, and with 101 days until graduation, I need to get cracking. I included the list below, in case you want to make this a challenge. =)
