- Book List of Doooom
I decided to make a list of books that I have read in school :D. When I was shelving books at the community college library where I work, I was thinking about all the books I've read. So I decided to make this list and see if I could remember everything my English teachers made me read XD.
I think the high school list shows progression of the difficulty of what I read (if I can remember all the books I had to read!), As my memory unfogs, I should be able to add more books. XD
Yeah, this might be completely pointless, but if any of you guys are bored during the holidays, maybe this will give you an idea of what you can read! :D
Key:
*= loooved that book
x = haaaated that book
;_; = that book made me cry
:D = that book made me laugh a lot
o_o = that book really made me think
*_* = this book is a must, must read
+ = there was an option to pick what you wanted to read, and I picked that book from a list
nothing means I was totally indifferent XD
***Note: the grade level I read the book doesn't reflect the level of the book
