Here's where she meets Prince Charming, but she won't discover that it's him, 'til chapter three!
Hi everyone! Sorry I didn't do a post last night, I just didn't have anything to say. But we might be losing our internet tonight (we're trying to switch away from Time Warner, and God knows they screwed up our start of service badly enough that I don't have confidence in them not screwing up the end of it too) so I'm going to try to get a post up now.
I've done several memes of this nature in the past, but they're always fun. Plus, it's interesting to see which books get included on any given list.
1. Bold the ones you've read and liked.
2. Strike through the ones you've read but hated.
3. Underline the ones you've read but didn't particularly love OR hate.
4. Italicize the ones you want to read.
My comments are in blue, and I've also taken the liberty of putting everything I read for school in red.

Answer to last Wednesday's song: Ireland, from Legally Blonde. Abby got this one right, which is as it should be given that she introduced me to that musical in the first place.
I actually didn't do a post last Tuesday either, so there's no answer for yesterday to catch up on. :)
