List of Books

I am a list-maker. I love making a list and I love the satisfaction I feel when I cross an item off my list.

Toni of little suitcase mentioned a post from another blog. It was about "a week of lists". I love that idea. I don't think I will commit to making a list every day, but I will post a few lists every now and again.

My first list has to be related to books. Here is a list of books that are in my house, but I have yet to read:

List of Books
  1. The Book of Negroes - Lawrence Hill
  2. Eclipse - Stephanie Meyer
  3. Breaking Dawn - Stephanie Meyer
  4. Light on Snow - Anita Shreve
  5. Queen Bees & Wannabes - Rosalind Wiseman
  6. The Secret Life of Bees - Sue Monk Kidd
  7. Lullabies for Little Criminals - Heather O'Neill
  8. Three Day Road - Joseph Boyden
  9. Whitehorn Woods - Maeve Binchy
  10. The White Bone - Barbara Gowdy
  11. Anil's Ghost - Michael Ondaatje
  12. The Creative Family - Amanda Blake Soule
  13. Handmade Home - Amanda Blake Soule
Only 3 of the books on this list do not belong to me. The rest, I have either bought myself or they have been given to me. Sadly, there are about a gazillion more books in my attic, my basement, my shed and my room that I haven't mentioned and that I haven't read. But, I won't go into that now.

What I should be doing is going to bed so that I can finish My Sister's Keeper and get reading the next book on my list!
