How kind of you to let me...
I had such a wonderful time this morning my time at a live chat hosted by Jessica Freeley. It was a hoot!
Anyway, what else can I do to avoid writing today? Being as Sunday is my day of rest? No seriously, officially. Oh I know! Meme!
What we have here is the top 106 books most often marked as "unread" by LibraryThing’s users. As in, they sit on the shelf to make you look smart or well-rounded. Bold the ones you've read, underline the ones you read for school, italicize the ones you started but didn't finish.
Here's the twist: add (*) beside the ones you liked and would (or did) read again or recommend. Even if you read 'em for school in the first place.
And a further twist: Strike the ones you read and despised (or started and despised and didn't finish).
