Lists!!!

[lirazel]

I revised my books list--I replaced individual volumes with series to get it right at 100 and added a few childhood faves I had forgotten. I'm much happier with this list!

[eta] I forgot Encyclopedia Brown!!!

I'm fascinated by Sword at Sunset as your one Sutcliff choice; what appeals to you about that in specific?

[lirazel]

It was the only one I read as a teenager! I went through an Arthurian phase. I didn't read my second Sutcliffe (Eagle of the Ninth) until a few years ago.

Holding fairly steady at 28!

And Radiance mentioned! :D

32/100! I can't remember what I got before, but I suspect it was fairly similar.

I keep thinking of new things for my lists, but I think I've spent enough time on them for now. :-)

[lirazel]

I know! New things come to me all the time!

37/100!

I love that you can put the whole New Jedi Order on there.

[lirazel]

You are definitely on the higher end of respondents, which surprises me not at all!

Right? Baby's first fandom!

36! Though for a few of the series, I followed my heart on whether I'd read enough of the series to count it, if I'd only read some.

Delightful to see so many Robin McKinleys! And I'm interested that you went with A Face Like Glass -- why that, over other Hardinge's? (Though I see you did Gullstruck Island as well, which is one of my favorites of hers too.)

But oh, right, Encyclopedia Brown!! I forgot all about him, too.

Absolutely!

I think the super weird worldbuilding of AFLG really stuck with me? I could easily have picked The Lie Tree in its place, but idk!

I used to reread the Encyclopedia Brown books all the time even though I knew the twists and they didn't have much else going for them. I don't know why I was so into them!

(Hi! I hope it's okay for me to comment here as a total stranger.) I got 44/100, including 13 that are on my own list--plus I'm now kicking myself for not including Pippi Longstocking or Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle. Also, I too was once very into Encyclopedia Brown.

Always okay to comment! I friends-lock my personal stuff, but the stuff that's not locked is for the whole wide world!

That's so many! I love when I overlap a lot with someone! <3

Nice to meet you! I've enjoyed reading your recent posts, and given that we seem to have extensive overlap in reading tastes, I'm going to subscribe. :)

Niiiice! Added you! <3
