My friend Carla @ Carla Loves To Read tagged me for this “Amazon’s 100 Books to Read in a Lifetime” Tag🙂 This meme was created by Perfectly Tolerable. Go check out this blog.
I’m usually horrible at taking part in tags but this one is super easy so I figured I’d give a go. It will be really interesting to see other book bloggers out there participate in this one and just how many of these books we all have read. Thanks for tagging me Carla!

100 Books To Read In a Lifetime List
So, I have read 20 of the 100. Not very many of them really and it seems the majority were the ones I read as a child but maybe someday I’ll actually try a few more of these.
I think this is a very interesting tag, so I if you have not been nominated but would like to do it please do. It will be fun to see what everyone had read and whether we agree with this list. I will nominate some of my friends, but if you don’t want to do it that is fine.
Kim @ By Hook or By Book
Berit and Vicci @ Audio Killed the Bookmark
Mischenko @ Read Rant Rock&Roll

And anyone else that sees this and would like to take part in this super easy tag!
Twenty is quite a respectable tally for this list. I was tagged recently and had read only 19 – but it’s quite an unusual selection. Well done! 😊
Thanks for thinking of me Carrie! Someday I’m going to talk you into trying Harry Potter and LOTR!😁
Thanks! You’re definitely right though, it was quite an interesting mix of classics and some newer material and I’ll admit that I had to look a few up. 🙂
I actually did try LOTR years and years ago but just didn’t have the attention span to tackle it which is probably not a good sign because I think I’ve actually gotten worse with old age. LOL But with HP it really gained it’s popularity while I was still working, sometimes 12+ hours a day at 5-6 days a week so I really didn’t read much of anything those years which is why there’s so much I need to get to. Now though I hesitate thinking with all the hype I may hate it at this point even though I really should love the series.
Have you seen the HP movies Carrie?
No, I told myself to read first before checking them out and I even have a hard copy of the first book but you know that procrastinating….
Awesome tag Carrie! It was awesome to see your answers my friend!😊💖💛💙💜 Hope you’re doing well!
So glad you did this tag Carrie. It is interesting to see which ones people have read. I don’t think I will ever read them all.
I will admit there are some on here I hadn’t even heard of so I doubt I’d ever do a lot of them either. A few though are definitely still on my TBR. 🙂
Thanks! I thought I saw you tagged too so if you do it I’d love to see your answers. 🙂
Awesome! I didn’t even realize!😨😨😨
I saw you on someone’s post before I did mine but can’t think of who now.
Probably! LOL. I am so horrible with keeping up with tags and awards!😱😨
Yep, me too but this one took like all of two minutes to set up. LOL
Thanks for participating 🙂 I am glad you liked this tag! I really liked the list because it was different than most other lists I have seen!
20 is really good! And I am the same way, I read most of these as a kid or I read them in school.
That’s the easy kind but without a computer, it takes way longer!😭
Ah yes, it would be harder to do. 🙁
It was a pretty diverse list for sure. I would guess there would have to be some on there for about every taste in reading. 🙂
😭😭
I love reading and read a lot, but I did horrible on thos list. 🙁
It’s a pretty diverse list that had a lot of people thinking it’s Amazon’s way of promoting sales to different reading tastes so I wouldn’t feel too bad for not checking a lot on this one.
