"Books We've Read"

Posted on 03:50 by Unknown


I just found this list entitled Books We've Read in my sticky notes. I have no idea what website it's from or even when I saved it in my sticky notes. I only found when I decided that it was probably time to edit the 40 or so sticky notes saved on my laptop. Wherever it has come from, it's a fascinating list. I've bolded the ones I've already read and italicised those I own but still need to read. I'm adding others to my wish list!*
