      1. I am spending so much time on the road and in the gardens I actually think I will enjoy winter this year to just sit and chill with some really good reads but it is also when I paint the most 🙂 Trying to cram so much in as I turn 70 in March then there is that handsome border collie needing his attention 🙂 Have a wonderful weekend. Hope you got some rain I loved mine.

  5. As a retired English teacher it embarrasses me to say 12. I haven’t read much YA fiction unless my daughters pushed me to read them (The Giver, Twilight, Hunger Games, which I enjoyed but wouldn’t bother reading again). Also I was way too busy in the early aughts to read for fun, so I’ve missed a lot that was published then. I’m still catching up, but the piles on my bedside table keep getting bigger….

      1. I saw her post, but I am already swimming in books. I feel bad because a lot of them are gifts from family and friends. I’m sure they’re good but I just don’t have the time to sit down and read (unless it’s on the internet 😛 which I am beginning to hate, lol).

  7. 11, possibly 12 (do you get the point if you read it but don’t remember?).

    Honestly, Lord of the Rings should count for more than one point.

    I read all the Little House on the Prairie books in gradeschool. And, in an odd coincidence, a field service engineer I worked with was related to Laura Ingalls Wilder.

      1. Heretic!

        As with many series, I was always crushed when I reached the end and the library didn’t have any more.

        It’s why I turned to a life of crime.

        Despite reading all the Hardy Boy mysteries.

        Why aren’t THEY on your list!?

  9. 17. No idea why you’d put an author’s less respected/popular works on a list like this, though– “Beartown” instead of “A Man Called Ove” or “(Project) Hail Mary” over “The Martian,”or “Carrie Soto” over “The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo?” It would be like putting “Mansfield Park” on a list instead of “Pride and Prejudice.”

  10. More than a few I’ve never heard of, a few I started and never finished, several I know as tv shows/movies but only by their titles…So the number I have read to completion? 5 I can’t remember if I’ve read Lord of the Rings, I know I read The Hobbit. Also I can’t remember if I’ve read Gone With the Wind – I do recall it being a dreadfully long and boring movie…

  17. 5 completed, but I couldn’t finish Catcher in the Rye or Pillars of the Earth. Also, I completed Lessons in Chemistry but couldn’t figure out what all the fuss was about over this book. Now, if you ask me how many of these I’ve viewed on TV or at the movies, well, that’s a different number altogether.
