unfinished books

Stole this one from Kate. Seemed sort of interesting. I wonder why so much Neil Gaimen is on here.

The instructions are simple:

Bold those you’ve read.

Add an asterisk* to those you have read more than once.

Italicize books you have started but couldn’t finish.

Underline those on your TBR list.
