I almost hung my head in shame after doing this meme. (If this is a test, I would have failed miserably.) It definitely seems like there are lots of books which I haven't read...yet. This further shows that I need to catch up with all my reading! :P

I am not going to tag anyone, but please leave me a comment if you are interested in playing so I can come visit!
Good for you, Melody, for being brave enough to post your list! I've been tempted to do this one, too, but have been too embarrassed. I've only read 10 of them, and most of them were ones I had to read in English class in high school!
I played last Tuesday... :D
Debi, at least you read more than me on this list!! Yeah, I'm embarrassed but well...at least it's fun. LOL.
Hey Alice! Yeah, I noticed. :D
Don't feel bad, Melody. :-) There's so many books you have read that aren't on the list that it more than makes up for any here you might have not gotten to yet.
Thanks for the kind words, Wendy! I'm feeling much better after reading your post, hehe.
