Wow that's a lot on your TBR pile. I think I read about 35-40 on my list.

Book Chick said...

I've read 61 of those books and I have 57 on my tbr pile, which is likely to grow even more!

Rex Robot Reviews said...

I love this, I'm so going to do it when I get home from work!

Kelli (I'd So Rather Be Reading) said...

You have definitely made a dent in the list! Am going to repost this and see where I stack up.

Westlake said...

Thanks for this list! We're doing a reading challenge this year in our English classes (50 books!), and this will definitely help with suggestions.

I've read a descent # of the books above but not necessarily all the books in a series

Jennifer (An Abundance of Books) said...

You should definitely read UNWIND and at least the first book in THE SHADOW CHILDREN series. Of course it goes without saying that the ARTEMIS FOWL series is a lot of fun (though sometimes hit or miss for me). I love the PERCY JACKSON series and haven't had a student or parent yet who hasn't liked it.

Jamie said...

I am going to add this to my blog. I've read a bunch of the books on this list and I've got a bunch more.

Regina said...

I have only read 55 of those books but have more to read. :)

The Book Vixen said...

@Maria

My TBR pile is 300+ deep O.O

The Book Vixen said...

@Book Chick

You've read a lot on that list!

The Book Vixen said...

@Rex Robot Reviews

I'll check out your list :)

The Book Vixen said...

@Kelli (I'd So Rather Be Reading)

I'll keep my eye open for your post :)

The Book Vixen said...

@Westlake

Sounds like fun!

The Book Vixen said...

@Megan@Riverina Romantics

You've made a pretty big dent with series!

The Book Vixen said...

@Jennifer (An Abundance of Books)

I've been wanting to read Unwind for a while now, I just haven't had the time. I'm not sure about The Shadow Children since it's MG. I may have to try it though...

The Book Vixen said...

@Jamie

I'll check out your list :)

@Regina

That's great progress!
