Umm yeah I have read every Harry Potter book. I feel hideously badly read now. Although I seem good at reading authors less famous works, I have read other books by a lot of these writers, just not these books. And yes I was honest.

Tagging - meh I can’t force you to join the procrastination, do so as you wish.

Jane Eyre, what I’m reading at the moment, is brilliant. You must read it, unless you’re blocked by the whole “It’s a classic!” thing, in which case just think of it as a love story.

And I finished my essay in the end so….HAH! ;)

this is a brilliant meme. I just finished ‘american gods’ by neil gaiman and now am reading his book ‘anansi boys.
Jan Eyre is one of my favoite books - not a boring classic read at all.

ditto for any jane Austen as far as I’m concerned. In fact I prefer her to Brontes.

i agree about jane austen - i really liked pride and prejudice, even though it took me about a month to get through it (i was reading other books for school at the time, like one hundred years of solitude, which took me forever)

Ooh, I’ve never done a meme. I’ll take up the baton. It is full of children’s books though, which are the only ones I’ve read.

You’ve tagged me! It’s just the day for bloggy procrastination.

You don’t know me of course, but I read you’re blog every now and then because I like your designs and it’s a good read. The new cardigan is very nice!
