Please number them and make sure I can see which are the books and which are the authors. When writing the books can you also give me who wrote it. Thanks!
For all those wondering, I like anything fiction and I'm 16 but love to read books with over 1,000 pages. So don't let age limit your answers, if it's fiction and you like it write it down and if there's a nonfiction book you like I'll give it a try.

I know that 20 is alot but I'm making a summer reading list to read when I'm at my dad's and there's nothing to do.
I could read 20 books in less than a month if I tried.
Thanks for all those who have answered and are going to answer and also to those who can't name 20 but answer anyhow!! :)
