Image found via WeHeartIt


As part of my 101 things, I've decided to participate in a 50 book challenge. This list I'll be following is heavily borrowed from the lovely Lemon Soda because she included books that I've intended to read in the past in addition to books that I've never heard of. I replaced her choices that I've already read with classics that I've somehow never had to read for school.

    I love the list!
    God of Small Things is one of my favorite books. You should read that soon.
    Also, I have yet again moved (sort of) and currently do not have an official address, but all my mail is being forwarded to a friend, so I can give you his address for my CD. Maybe?
