If anyone has ever been curious, here is your chance to know what's sittin' on my bookshelf. Once I had hit my teens, I stopped giving away books, so I have some remnants of my childhood, and I also have some embarrassing books given to me as gifts (Alicia Keys poetry? Yeah. I definitely never asked for that). Have a look. Want to know if a book is any good? Ask me about it. If I've read it, I'll let you know :)
Also, I'M MISSING BOOKS. If you have EVER been loaned a book by me, PLEASE take a look around and let me know if you do or do not have my books. I'm currently missing my copy of The Godfather that Mr. Butcher gave me. It is a battered, black hardcover. I can't remember letting anyone borrow it, but either way... It has sentimental value, and I desperately want it back ): It makes me very sad that I can't find it. Buying it again wouldn't really replace this book.

TOTAL: 220 counting books missing
* books I've read
I'll probably mark this post to keep track of my collection. And please note that because it's on my bookshelf doesn't mean I've read it yet. I wander into bookstores and pluck things off the shelf willy-nilly. xD It's like.. sleep-book-buying.
And on that same vein, I've read WAY more books than I actually own. One day, I hope to own most, if not all, of the books I've ever read :3
note: If you would like to borrow something.. let me know.
