Books

I'm stealing this from my good friend, Tori, over at Bunny's Babblings. I'm not going to do very good at this because while I loooove to read, I've not been too good at it lately. I'm trying to change that.

Take the list below, paste it into your own blog, and mark them as follows:
READ for those you’ve read;
WANT TO next to those you are interested in;
AGAIN & AGAIN next to those you’ve read and loved, over and over;
REPEAT for those you’ve read more than once, without necessarily loving them;
MEH for stuff you read and weren’t impressed by;
STARTED for those that just never got finished;
and leave blank those you don’t care to read.

What a fabulous idea. One day later in the week, I'll have to look over the list more completely. I love to read but haven't done nearly as much of it as I did before the kids. Darned kids. :)

I love this idea too! I may copy it.... I think you are doing pretty darn well for someone who says she doesn't get to read very much! :)
