I went through my endless, constantly-growing TBR list and cut it down to a shorter, more manageable list of 100 books I want to read next. To be more accurate, I've narrowed it down to 99 and am looking for recommendation on book #100. This list is basically my ultimate "I really want to read that right now" collection. As you'll see, I'm not really restricted by any particular genre so you can recommend really anything, whether it's literary classics, fantasy, sci-fi or historical fiction.
