The bolded ones are books I've finished, and the italicized ones are ones I've either started and never finished or read only parts. This list is a little odd-- the HP series is wrapped up as 1 book, as is LOTR, as is His Dark Materials, as is the Chronicles of Narnia-- and yet The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe is listed as a separate book-- so take it with a grain of salt!
