Okay so I read 44 out of 100. Although clearly some of them are more than one book. I read all 7 Chronicles of Narnia books and all 3 Pullman books too. Most of them while I was in school...except for the Phillip Pullman ones which I read last year. So do not ask me about them...probably do not remember much!
