I have just spent the past hour or so reading J. Kaye’s Book Blog – what a wonderful place! She posted this meme last week and it’s one of those memes that jump right out at you, crying “play me, play me!” (Well, at least that’s what I felt!)

Okay, this was very interesting. First, I see I actually own most of the books on this list that I’ve already read. And I also own a few books on this list that I guess I don’t really have any intentions of reading (I’m not going to ask myself why I bought them in the first place – I’m a bookaholic and that’s really reason enough). One final note, about the Stephanie Meyer Twilight series books – I do have them all (see explanation re bookaholic above) and I’ve marked them as being in my TBR but that will of course depend on how I like each book as I go through the series.
And I’ve added a book to my list of books I want to get next (see explanation re bookaholic above …): Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time. Maybe that means I should put a star next to it.
