Oh wow, i'm so not a reader!! I'll leave that to you, i like magazines & cook books, if/ when i get the chance. Love Posie
ReplyDeleteI think I'll join you and do this too. To Kill a Mockingbird is my very favourite book. I hope you enjoy it too
ReplyDeleteBecause I am a lot older than you and love to read I've already read 61 of the books, so hopefully I'll get the other 39 read by April 2013. I just blogged about your great idea too. Have a wonderful Easter. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteAck this list makes me feel illiterate! Waah!
ReplyDeleteI've read 45! My favourite book in the whole world is To Kill A Mockingbird. Oh, to be able to write like that!
ReplyDeleteFun! I'm definitely in on this one one. Except, honestly, I am simply not interested in Harry Potter. Don't hate me!
ReplyDeleteI would add Atlas Shrugged and The Way We Live Now by Anthony Trollope. I know Ayn Rand makes some people mad but my god that book holds your attention and makes you think!
Oh (I'm a book freak, sorry) Out of Africa. Gorgeous.
Some great books in your future!
ReplyDeleteThanks for Rewinding at the Fibro.
