I have a blog thing!

So, I'm not to write a super-personal blog, but I don't mind a bit of sharing. Today Neefer, who writes Acorns to Oaktrees shared this, and it's about books, so I want to play along.

These are the top 106 books most often marked as “unread” by LibraryThing’s users.
Bold the ones you’ve read,
underline the ones you read for school,
italicize the ones you started but didn’t finish.
add a * beside the ones you liked and would (or did) read again or recommend. Even if you read them for school in the first place.
