Meme Monday

I found this on Ms Jan's blog, who found it on someone else's. So thanks to Ms Jan and to the "someone else". I am a book freak and that is one thing that I really really miss - my books. My one treat when I worked in London was the monthly visit to Hatchards in Piccadilly. I used to allocate the whole of my lunch hour (or two) for a browsing session and always came out having spent far too much. Working within a 15 minute walk of the shop was a priority whenever I changed jobs LOL. Look at the list of books below:

• Bold the ones you’ve read
• Italicize the ones you want to read
• Leave blank the ones that you aren’t interested in.
• If you are reading this, tag, you’re it!
