Read That!

This is my 'Read That!' page inspired by the awesome work of Peeptastic over at Attack of the Book. Definitely worth checking out her blog.


I am aiming to read all of the books that pique my interest from the 1001 books to read before you die...plus all those others that are not on the 1001 list, but which I still manage to sneak onto my shelves! So here's my list so far.....but need some books that start with U, X or Y as I can't handle having empty alphabet letters!!! lol :) I have Utopia for U, any ideas for X or Y????
