YAY! There are definitely some books on this list that I still want to read (remind me again why I haven't read Looking for Alaska by John Green?) and then there are some that I never want to read (hello Twilight series!) and of course there are the books I'm ashamed to say I've read (uhhhh no one was supposed to know I read those Melissa de la Cruz books.... IT WAS A SECRET!!!!)

What books have you guys read on this list? Have you already posted this list on your blog? Put a link in the comments so I can see it!

  1. I'be done this one as well! I didn't count how many of the books I've read, didn't think of that! And I do think that this list originally comes from sweden, I started seeing it at swedish book blogs weeks before all other blogs!

  3. I'm not even going to count; not that many. I really want to get Impulse now. Sorry, is that you have it there and I remembered. I have to reread Looking for Alaska because the truth, I don't remember much about it and why is so good. I read it in 2008 and I was naive and foolish about books...er... yeah. Still am. Okay, bye!

  4. Hahaha, me reading Blue Bloods was supposed to be a secret, too. I liked them the first time around, but when I re-read the first book, I couldn't figure out what I was thinking when I said I liked them. LOL.
    Anyway, you've read so many of these! There are a bunch on this list that I still want to read. I'll have to get on that. :)
