Books

Who can resist a multi-colored book meme? Thanks Stacy

All I have to say is holy crap, what are some of these books and who reads them?

New and Improved Book Meme

Directions:

• Use blue font for everything you’ve read
• Use red font for everything you’ve started but never finished
• Use purple font for everything you’ve read but wish you hadn’t
• Use yellow font for everything you’d never read, even you and that book were the only things to survive the apocalypse
• Use black font for things you’ve never read
• Use green front for things you want to read
• Use orange font if you’ve read the author but not that particular work
