The master post where I keep a list of the books I read and the movies and TV shows I watch in the coming year.
For the books & movies, bold formatting = 5 stars; italicized = 4, plain text = 2 or 3 stars (usually 3 unless otherwise specified for the books), and strikethrough = 1 star (rare; it has to be awful, and these days I usually DNF instead ( Read more... ) -

Ten of the Oldest Books on my TBR
(I am very bad about cross-posting these here lately, but what if I finally tried this time and posted something to LJ that wasn't just a TBR)
This week’s Top Ten Tuesday is about the ten oldest (by publication date) books on your TBR, suggested by Nicole of Bookwyrm Knits, and may I just say: this is an awesome suggestion! I’ve been so excited ( Read more... )
