Hi, I'm Jack, a 16 year old reader from Ontario. I have been reading since I was 2 years old, and have probably completed this challenge 7 or 8 times over the last 10 or so years. This is my first year doing the challenge officially though. I read all types of books, so there will be a lot of variety below. I will be re-reading a lot of books, so I will note which one I have read before and If I own them or am borrowing them.
