Last weekend ABC Radio National announced the top 100 books enjoyed so far by readers in the 21st century.
Of the books that rated from 71-80, I have read five of the titles. My order (number 1 to 5) for the books listed in the top 71-80 would be:
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society
by Mary Ann Schaffer and Annie Barrows
The Bee Sting by Paul Murray
The Happiest Refugee by Anh Do
The Happiest Man on Earth by Eddie Jaku
Where is the Green Sheep by Mem Fox (excellent children's picture book)
Of the books that rated from 81-90, I have read two of the titles. My order (number 1 to 2) for the books listed in the top 81-90 would be:
Chai Time at the Cinnamon Gardens by Shankari Chandren
Stone Yard Devotional by Charlotte Wood
Of the books that rated from 81-90, I have read three of the titles. My order (number 1 to 3) for the books listed in the top 81-90 would be:
The Bookbinder of Jericho by Pip Williams
True History of the Kelly Gang by Peter Carey
Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn
I have read forty-seven titles from this list of 100 titles. Some of the books in the list I read before I started this blog and I will eventually add posts for these titles.
This has been an interesting exercise looking at the titles that respondents to the survey voted for. There are many other titles that I would have included in such as list but we all have different tastes in reading. The list, however has provided some interesting titles for my To Be Read list.
