d100 Books of the Faerie



So this is a genius but possibly hard idea. If it works I can do various magic books like  goblin, faerie, hell, necromancy, witches, cultist, orc* and dwarf book lists.
* orcish 100 best sellers of all time or the only books orcs ever wrote?

Oh the comic cover above is a relatively mild slapstick romance comedy with mild flashes of nudity, but honestly that's all you want to know really.
Elves in print make every other race seem inferior and like insane gibbering children or monkeys. Trees make more steady friends than a goblin or a human.
