2019 Reading Challenge - Can I Make 100 This Year?

Alright everybody - I have 20 books to go by the end of the year to achieve my updated 2019 reading goal (at first I wanted to read 50 - now I want to read 100!!).

I'd like to read some Christmas classics - so far, I've only knocked out "A Christmas Carol."

Any other suggestions? I'm not too proud for children's chapter books either? Or even non-Christmas-related books? Thanks for the help!! Here's what I've read so far:
