Hi Chela,
Attached is the list. I have not gone through it systematically yet but you

example:
Quality:
48 The Handmaidís Tale - Margaret Atwood
49 Lord of the Flies - William Golding
Missing:
90 The Faraway Tree Collection - Enid Blyton
93 The Wasp Factory - Iain Banks

What titles are left to fill in the gaps, perhaps I could help find them?
Now? Or if someone beat me to it already then have at it!

"To me, music that breaks your heart is the music that stays with you
forever. It's one thing to be melancholy and one thing to be sophisticated,
but when you get the two of them together in a way people can relate to,
then I think you're on to something. You want the sophistication to lie in
the purity of the sound, the beauty of the arrangements, and the quality of
the performances."-Trumpeter Chris Botti--
