I thought I was going to have a new song to post today, but apparently my husband didn't finish mixing it last night. Thus, a book meme stolen from Foggy City Mommy.

Italicize books you have started but couldn’t finish.

...and I could probably name the courses and group the titles into their appropriate reading lists. Can you tell that I did my grad work in English????

Lovely blog. I'm going to copy your meme. Thanks!

Fun.
Yeah, the fact that you've read Pride and Prejudice and Jane Eyre multiple times is a dead giveaway that you were an English major. Luckily, they're both great books!
