Carina's "Books to Read: 2007 (& perhaps not beyond)"

Add to my lists | Print this list

I’ve this thing, where I buy (or borrow) books that I never get to read. This is a problem because my bookcase is impressive in size, but I’ve only really read a fraction of it. So, before I get ahead of myself and drown in mountainous piles of literature, I will list the books I need to read before I buy anymore. This is very difficult for me, but I guess it will encourage me to save some money, as well as read more.

An afterthought: I am a sucker for Young Adult books, so you will find an abundance of YA titles here. Go me.

Now, I really have to say that ypur project is truly impressive. I have loads and loads of unread books at my shelves, but I still don’t think I could completely resist carrying home new ones… Oh, and by the way, my shelves also contain unread copies of 31 Songs and The Screwtape Letters. :) Good luck with your project!
