Book List

Got this from Tim, but also the fact that Tara and Ashley did it made me finally figure out how to get it into Blogger properly.

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.

I couldn't figure out how to underline in blogger, so I'm going to put an exclaimation point by those on my to read list instead.

I know we read Tale of Two Cities our freshman year of high school...and I'm pretty sure we read Ulysses at some point. :o)
