Impressive list Nattie! I should make a list of my own. I've got a ton of books that I need to read.

OH. My. GOODNESS.
1. where are the REST and how many books *is* THE REST???
2. You need bookshelves.

This is a great list!!! That is one huge stack of books you have going, though - you certainly did not list them all here. I agree with Pattie, you need some shelves my dearie! LOL Enjoy your reading time...
