The Guardian’s ‘100 best books of the 21st century’
The Guardian recently shared their list of the ‘100 best books of the 21st century’ and we’re excited to see who made the cut.
#97 is part of my all-time favourite series of books, I enjoyed the movie adaptation of #65 and I love the copy of #47 I got for my birthday. #21 is currently in my pile of books to read and I can’t wait for the last book in the trilogy of #1 to come out next year. Check out their list to discover who made it and who missed out. Nisa.
