Hey All,
Medallion here(no surprise there, with Marvel being such a busy celebrity and all :D)
Well, I was reading a post from A Book Lover's Diary, and the blogger had re-posted a list of books
for which there are certain instructions...
The instructions:
•Copy this list.
•Bold those books you’ve read in their entirety.
•Italicise the ones you started but didn’t finish or read only an excerpt.
•Tag other book nerds.
•Highlight the ones that you own, but haven't read
.(I'm going to highlight the books that I own, regardless of whether I read them or not)
I'm going to post comments next to some of the titles even if I haven't read them, in bold.
