BTT: How many books can you recall in 15 mins?

I saw this over at Shelley’s, and thought it sounded like a great question for all of you:



“This can be a quick one. Don’t take too long to think about it. Fifteen
books you’ve read that will always stick with you. First fifteen you can recall
in no more than 15 minutes"

  1. The Count of Monte Cristo

  2. Oliver Twist

  3. The Three Musketeers

  4. Cold Fire

  5. The Twilight Saga

  6. Harry Potter Series

  7. Stephanie Plum Series

  8. Harry Dresden Series

  9. Alice In Wonderland

  10. Dollaganger Series

  11. The Lovely Bones

  12. The Handmaid's Tale

  13. The Kite Runner

  14. The Little Princess

  15. A Dictionary (cause it has every book ever written in it) ;)

    Good list! The Handmaid's Tale almost made it onto mine, too. It was so hard limiting myself to just fifteen books!

    There are quite a few on your list that would have made it on to mine if I could have listed more than 15 books.

    Count of Monte Cristo is awesome. I just finished reading the Black Tulip. Very similar but much shorter!

    Hey Lisa, just saw in your profile that you are in Brunei! My husband and I spent a few hours there on a flight stopover and loved it! Want to go back one day and have a proper look around. Are you a local girl or expat?

    I ALMOST put the Count of Monte Cristo on my list but it didn't make hte cut. I love your list of classics here. (And I also love your blog template. It's very cheerful.)

    Happy BTT!

    I loved The Count of Monte Cristo! I forgot about it when I made my list.

    I tried to read The Lovely Bones but only got 50 pages in before it was due at the library. I will have to order it again!

    Great list - I've read the Twilight Saga and I'm working on Stephanie Plum (on 7) and HP (on 2). Several other books on your list are on my tbr.
