I did the little hundred movies and hundred books game that has been going around various social medias! I tried to make my lists with just the things I could think of not looking at any of my actual reading lists or bookshelves and as a result I am now sitting here thinking of all the things I love and/or have shaped me in some way that I didn't happen to think of while making the specific list and taking -5 HP each time. So it goes. I can't believe I forgot Between Silk and Cyanide. Anyway, if you're not bored with clicking little boxes yet, please do go forth and click mine and let me know how it went!

Oh no I also forgot Between Silk and Cyanide! So it goes.

I didn't actually click because I need to go to bed I'm just here to say WAIT TILL HELEN COMES MENTIONED

48% for movies and 34% for books. A few where I went "Ohhhh I forgot about that one but it was great!" like The Silver Pigs.

*slides into your DMs* Hey let's talk about Fullmetal Alchemist and The Perilous Gard.

39% movies
22% books

Anyway, if you're not bored with clicking little boxes yet, please do go forth and click mine and let me know how it went!

Books: 74 of 100, would have been a round 75% if you had not left off Leo Marks. Did we ever talk about Tanya Huff's Fifth Quarter?

Movies: 73 out of 100, I rejoice in the inclusion of Pimpernel Smith. I suspect I wiped out on most pop culture after the turn of the millennium.

I got 34% for books, which is lower than I expected! I'm no good at movies so didn't do that one.

I got 32/100 books but like with when I did ambyr's quiz, there were a few where I was like... "Did I read that? Did I start reading that and never finish?" So the real number may be higher. Did not do movies because I don't watch very many movies.

I got 37% for books and 21% for movies, which is higher than I expected for movies TBH

47 for books and man I would love to talk about Otherland. I think it just came out at a he wrong time and slithered between the cracks of critical attention.

27 books, 31 movies! …which is not the way around I expected. Musicals doing a lot of work.

I have had the pictured edition of Summer Will Show on my shelf waiting to be read for YONKS. Given how much I liked Lolly Willowes my not having got around to any others is a crime. The one on the list I’d have been least likely to read without your input (but have read) is To The Chapel Perilous, and would be second to one of the Erskine Lindops if only I’d got around to that one yet.

67 books, did not try movies

61 for books, which is lower than I expected, and 34 for movies, which is higher than I expected.

This combines book collections and clicking and therefore is the perfect meme.

51% for movies--so many good choices!!! But only 28% for the books. But now I have a ton more to add to my to-read list! Yay!

(Lol, Wait Till Helen comes! Scared the bejeesus out of me when I was 9!)

59% and 41%. I am way going to use this as additions to my To Read list.

I got 40/100 books and 58/100 movies, and it surprised me a little that I did better on movies, but also so many of the movies on your list I haven't seen are ones that I've long MEANT to see. We talked about The Lady Eve recently, and Crimson Peak and Notorious have both languished for years...

50/100 on movies and 41/100 on books. Also, so many feelings about Laurence Yep's Dragon of the Lost Sea and Pamela F. Service's Winter of Magic's Return!

oh! and I have read the first but not the second L J Smith arthurian thing, I did not know there was a second, now I want to read it!

Okay I got 22. I would have gotten 23 if you'd remembered Wayside!! A truly hilarious number of these were just: oh that's the one I haven't read by this otherwise formative author.

27 books! and shockingly, 21 movies, I have literally never seen a movie.

23/100 books, of which one (The Shortest Way to Hades) I literally just finished yesterday :D

I got 27 on the books, which was lower than I would have expected, and 26 on the movies, which was somehow higher?? I don't know if I could even come up with 100 movies...

19 and a half movies and 16 books. The half is The Sound of Music.

49 for the movies, though there are some where I've seen partly on tv so I'm not fully counting them. Realizing there are many I want to see. 32 of the books and again seeing many that I'd like to read. I'm also about halfway through your book and loving it, its hitting that right note of lighter and adore the chemistry between Ruthi and Sol.

Twins! I dub this confluence "23 & Me" :P
