BBC Book List - how many have you read?
Noticed this on Carole's Canvas and, as a reader, just had to take part.Apparently the BBC reckons most people will have only read 6 of the 100 books here.
How many did you read, and which ones?
Instructions:
- Look at the list and put an ‘x’ after those you have read.
- Add a ‘+’ to the ones you LOVE.
