30B430 #20: Where I Stand

So number 20 on my Dirty Thirty list is to read at least 80% of the BBC Best Loved Books list. I recently found the list and discovered that I have 46 of the books read. That means I have 34 more books to read to hit my 80% (which I might increase depending on how it all goes). There are some that I KNOW I will not read but there are some that I already own and am really excited to get into. Wish me luck!
