A New Challege

So 6 months ago I said I was going to read 1001 books you should read before you die. I was pretty confident I could read all those books and I started head on in the list. Aside from the 29 books I had previously read on the list, I read 3 on the list. In 6 months. Of course you know I've been reading. I just haven't been reading books on that list.
Then I saw a post on Fleur Fisher about The Fill in the Gaps challenge. It seemed like a better idea than trying to read 1001 books picked by someone else. Especially when I wasn't thrilled about half of them. Perhaps I should have thought about this before I said I would do it huh?
Well I'm admitting that I can't do my original challenge and I'm going to do a total new one. So here are my 100 books that I want to read. For now this will be my tbr list.
