#BookBucketChallenge Asked by Ashwin, Adithya, Lakshmi, Ankush and Suhas. Two things about my list. One, Im rubbish at choosing these lists. I have about 20 Top 5 movies, and I have more Top 10 books. Second, I cheat. I had previously made a list of books I liked so much that I would eventually buy hardcover editions for my own library.
