Tonight instead of finishing the last 500 words worth of editing and revising on my current project I have decided to compile several lists of my 'Top 10's'. No... I'm not kidding, I love lists. Usually I make them on pretty paper with sparkly multi-colored pens, but unfortunately y'all will just have to settle for this boring ole type. :p
Drum roll, please... *makes cheesy noise and taps index fingers on Walter*

Thanks for reading my random procrastination blog post! Off to be productive... or play with something shiny...
I'm so glad that Twilight isn't anywhere on that list. Although my list would be a little different, I agree with you on many of those books, especially Night and Wuthering Heights. :)
ReplyDeleteUgh, Twilight is a fad. The piece itself is written so poorly I can't possibly understand why anyone would put it on a 'top' list unless it had something to do with fangirls and money grubbing authors who sell out.
ReplyDeleteNight is so compellling. Out of curiosity, what would be on your list?
Hmmm...maybe visit my blog in a few days. I'll have a good list by then. ;)
