First off, thanks to everyone who participated. We had a whopping 18 total lists which was more than I was expecting to be honest.
However, as you may have foreseen, the variances in everyones lists make a list like this a bit hard to do. We had a total of 263 titles but only 60 with at least two list appearances. So this is B8s Top 60 Books list.
Unfortunately while I would love to do write ups and a slow, grueling list reveal, Ive gotten way too behind on my schoolwork because I am a lazy a******.
Thanks again for participating and maybe we can get a more substantial list sometime in the future. Keep on reading!
