In Honor of my 100th Post...

I've decided to do a familiar book meme in honor of my 100th blog post here at The Bookshelf, but I'm doing it my way:-) And at the end of this loooooonnnnngggg post, read about my latest book giveaway!! Deadline is April 15th, Tax Day!!

I'm listing 100 books I've read. Once you've read my list, copy it, and then highlight the books you've read, underline the books you've heard of but haven't read, and then leave me a link to your post to enter my contest (see the bottom of this post). Then, finally, print this list and carry it wherever you go, because I'm just THE authority on all things good to read, doncha know:-)

Ummm...that last part was a joke. Kinda.

Oh, and feel free to email me about any title that sparks your curiosity...I love talking Jesus, and I love talking books.
