Yes a "carnival" for reading books!!!! :) I'm in heaven, absolute heaven. Now to narrow it down to how many?
But to get me started, Shalee of Shalee's Diner has a book meme.
(umm...sorry her formatting didn't come through, and yes I'm too lazy to fix it...even if I knew HOW!) and well, couldn't figure out how to do her key either. so, oh well.
* bold - did read
* italicize - want to read
* strike - won't read or read but hated it with a passion and if I could burn every copy so that others wouldn't be exposed to such terrible dribble I would do it and people should not be allowed to get paid for such awful writing
* underline - own
* * - never heard of the book
* colored - loved it and would recommend it to others
* If there is nothing done to the title, then that means I'm indifferent to it or I haven't decided about it yet.
