When I got my Kindle in December last year I started making a list of the books I was reading. When I was getting close to the anniversary of getting my Kindle, the 17th December, I tried to reach 100 books, but when the 17th arrived I was only at 90, so I extended the deadline to Christmas Day. I got to 99, but realised just now I'd forgotten to put one on the list so it's 100 after all. And now I'm starting a new list!
I most enjoyed Popco, Florence and Giles, Room, The Night Circus, The Book of Human Skin, Wonder, Anthem, The Lifecycle of Software Objects, The Little Prince (which believe it or not I'd never read), the Lian Hearn Tales of the Otori trilogy, the Ketty Jay books by Chris Wooding, The Thief Lord, and The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight (which I particularly remember because it got me through a few boring hours waiting around at Heathrow at 3am!).
