I've read 22 of the listed books. In fact, when I was a little kid, I used to wish I was Anne of Green Gables. :)
21 for me, but many there that I have been meaning to read.
I will check out Matchbook, too. I've never heard of it, though I fancy myself as a magazine lover.
I am only 17 books (almost 18). It's so nice to have the two of you posting on my blog again. I've been so neglectful.
