Meme: Books

I've been looking for a good book blogsite, but haven't found one yet! (Chrissy, if you're reading this, perhaps you can recommend someone?) The reason I've been doing so is because I'm BORED! Bored of the same ol' thing on TV, the same ol' dissing-and-gossiping matches and powwows with friends, and the same ol' work everyday. Reading's always been a hobby (in fact, I'm looking out for a paperback copy of "Flags of our Father"), nay, a passion. It keeps me sane. So, here's a meme I copied straight out of Chrissy's blog (thank you, Chrissy!)

WOW! Kimmie! I am impressed! Everyone always said I read a lot, but you've read almost the same number of books (and the same books) as me! I'm so happy to have found another literary egghead! ;)

I'll get back to you with a few websites for book titles. I've got some in my favorites.
