Books I've Read and Will Read

I basically decided that I don't read enough real literature, (I tend to spend hours on end reading fanfiction on the internet), so I wanted to make this list of the actual novels I have read to maybe be my inspiration to read more...hopefully. It's a very pitiful list, so if you have any suggestions or anything feel free to tell me.


Aaand I decided to rate them:

- Love, love, loved it and could read it over and over a billion times and not get sick of it. A book worth staying up until 5 in the morning to finish.

- Enjoyed the book immensely. I couldn't put it down and probably finished it in three days.

- Enjoyed the book greatly. Probably took me about a week to read.

- Enjoyed the book...nothing overly memorable. Most likely skipped days when I read this book...2-3 weeks to finish.

- I barely made it through this book.

- Zzzzzzzzz <----the noise I was making when I attempted to read this book.

- Reading this book made me want to fall on the floor, sob pitifully, and tear my hair out.

Note: The books that are marked like this **Book Title** are books I read for school. All of my English teachers except one (and my reading teacher in 7th grade) have made reading books for school absolute torture, so my rating is probably effected by that.
