Books, Tomes, Novels, Treatises, and Bestsellers Galore

Well, it's that time of year again-- The Los Angeles Times Festival of Books at UCLA. I wrote about this last year, for those of you that care. This year's edition is this weekend: today and tomorrow. I'll be heading over there tomorrow afternoon, when it's not as gloomy as today. (For the record, I still haven't gotten around to reading Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell. *blush*)

In honor of a great weekend (and anticipated overdose!) of books, I'm posting yet another book meme. This one is slightly different from the one I did last month, but it's revealing in its own way too. Thanks to Verde for finding this. :)

Book Meme!
1. Copy & paste.
2. Bold the ones you’ve read.
3. Add four recent reads to the end.
4. Tag!

I won't tag anyone, but you're welcome to use this on your own blog, provided of course that you link back here. *grin* I'll put those that I've read in GREEN, and leave those that I haven't read, should read, will never read sans color.
