19/100 as well!

They put my favorite book in there!! #75

Can I just say that #24 sucked.. don't read it.

#54 confused me because I thought it was the Hush Hush saga by Becca Fitzpatrick..? Welp, if it's the same woman, then 20/100.. if not, 19 xD

I've read 19/20, though I've read the first book in five of the other series... and I'm planning on reading Fahrenheit 451 very very soon, as soon as I can find it in the school library... Which if you count the partial series would make it 25/100... a quarter... I need to read some more...

29! And there were a handful of others that I have on my shelf, or on my Amazon wishlist.

You could say I have an...interest in YA.
