Books, Glorious Books!

Saw this on a couple of blogs I visit occasionall, Lisa Samson's and Mary DeMuth's. It looked like so much fun to play, so here goes. I would love to know what you've read too. I think in the coming year, I'm going to try to be able to BOLD some of these that I haven't read. How about you?

* Bold the ones you’ve read.
* Italicize the ones you want to read.
* Leave in normal text the ones that don’t interest you.
* Put in ALL CAPS those you haven’t heard of.
* Put a couple of asterisks by the ones you recommend.I

Comments:
Love this! I was pleased to see I have read many of them! Now I have more I will aim to read.
 
That was fun for me too, just to see how many of the books I'd actually read.
 
Forgot...it's okay not to have a blogger account and to sign in as 'anonymous.' But if you'll sign your name, then we'll know who you are! Thanks!
