Book meme

I picked this one up from Chris

And yes, I do have knitting to do, but I’ve promised I’ll load the dishwasher first, so I’m procrastinating madly. (Funny how many of these I put the same brackets round as Chris – and I’ve only included my books – not John’s – if I included his bookshelves I’d have some underlined and crossed out, which feels frankly bizarre!)

I’ve picked up the meme on my blog. I’m a sucker for book memes!
