Book Meme Borrowed from Knitting on the Greens Blog


Lifted from One of Wibbo's New Blogs : This meme is originally from the Big Read. Apparently they reckon most people will have only read 6 of the 100 books here.

Instructions:1) Look at the list and bold those you have read.

2) Underline those you intend to read (I'm going to put these in red these - Blogger doesn't like underlining)

3) Italicise the books you LOVE. i am going to put these in blue
